Quick Results ever wrong?

Published

I guess I am grasping at straws. I was using a program that my tech college recommended for studying for the NCLEX, called ATI. According to all the tests I took, I should have had no problems passing the NCLEX. The questions ATI had were nothing like the NCLEX. The NCLEX was 10x harder. I do not recommend ATI to anyone. Anyway, I had 265 questions and according to the quick results, I failed. Does anyone know if the quick results were ever wrong?

I agree the ATI predictor is garbage, it gave me a 99% chance of passing but I still reviewed for several weeks using Saunder's. I am sorry that you did not pass. I recommend that you check out Suzanne's plan in the NCLEX study thread and try again when you are ready to test.

If you're talking about quick results of the official NCLEX test, I don't think they're ever wrong.

If you're talking about practice NCLEX tests they are often very wrong. I scored very low on the practice tests and was really worried but I passed the official NCLEX-RN the first time.

Good Luck, I hope everything works out ok. If not, remember there's always an opportunity to take it again. Try Suzanne's plan.

I had a lot of medication questions, which of course is my worse subject, and alot of prioritizing. I feel like I got screwed by the tech because they told us "how good" ATI was.

I practiced with ATI while in school. I used Kaplan Review Course to study for the NCLEX. I found that the questions on Kaplan were more in line with the NCLEX exam. It was hard and I had difficulty achieving more than 65% on any test on Kaplan.

As for the "unofficial results", they are only unofficial because you cannot practice without being notified by the BON in your state. When you receive your license number from the state, it is then "official".

I am sorry that you didn't pass. It is a tough test to take. I wish you the best on your next try!

I am sorry...I have never heard of Quick Results ever being wrong.

I agree with you, however, about ATI. It's pure garbage. We used at my school and while I did pass...ATI was crap compared to the NCLEX.

I wish you all the luck with your next test.
