Virtual ATI

[IHSnurse]

Is there anyone doing the Virtaul ATI?

I graduated in June, 2010. I had to do a three week Statistics class right after graduation. I finally began studying with the V-ATI about a month after graduation. My Exam is scheduled for Thursday August 19th. I have gone through the whole program and just did the predictor exam and recieved a 88% chance of passing the Nclex exam. I'm not sure what is going to happen now because I have to wait for my tutor to let me know. I was just wondering if anyone else out there is in this program or is getting closer towards the "exam day".

I did use the ATI, although I benefited from mosby the best. I found the ATI tutor consumed too much time, and often the work was obsolete. I opted for Mosby and LaCharity, both books were awesome, and set the bar really high, I can tell you that I found these books way more challenging than the NCLEX

I used the Virtual ATI and I liked it. I think its good for learning content. Alot of my friends used it to. Everyone I know that got the green light from the coach passed NCLEX. I used Kaplan as well but I think ATI is very helpful to.

Good luck.

My program requires all ADN students (PN program, too) to do all kinds of ATI exams. We do several in each different class, and are required to pass at a prescribed level to actually pass the class (regardless of what our grade in that class was), and we're required to pass a mock-NCLEX to successfully exit the program. Overall, I think the ATIs helped a lot. I think the ATI materials they provided us with helped me more than the review books. I worked the Saunders stuff to death, but the ATI stuff was more like my NCLEX questions. I also had the little app on my iPod. I like it, but whatever the randomization algorithm that iOS uses, it kept giving me the same questions over and over. j

We were on that same situation, had to test ATI after every course and needed at least a level 2 to pass the class (although with a level 2 you could not get an A on the class after they summed it all)

We took all the ATI's and then in the end we also had the predictor which we had to pass with 85% as a bare minimun otherwise we could not graduate, and in the end we had a 3 day live review.

I liked ATI they were my choice of review book, but their book questions were funny "in a wierd kind of way" ATI + Mosby questions = success!

Yep. Sounds familiar. I liked the practice tests we took throughout the semester, but I hated the day we took the real ATIs. My final RN predictor was reasonably close to the structure of my NCLEX and told me I had a 97% chance of passing... which I did; first try, 75 questions. That didn't keep me from spending an agonizing weekend until my unofficial results were posted. I'd recommend ATI. j
