In completing this ATI Adaptive exam, I was happy to finish at 75 questions. I thought that this exam was far easier than the pharmacology exam we previously took. There were some questions where I failed to read the full question and jumped to an answer that ended up being wrong. Overall, I was impressed with myself given my struggles in our Med-Surg classes. I felt from these courses I had been more prepared for this exam rather than the pharmacology one. There were topics that I felt I definitely knew but others where I should brush the cobwebs off.
Completing this exam early feels really good and is another thing to cross off my list until graduation! The only issue with these exams is that they take an enormous amount of time which limits my studying time for other courses. It is pretty tedious to have to retype the questions and I wish that we no longer had to do that…
Allie, try to look at these adaptive exams not as a task to check off or as a burden taking time away from your other courses. I can promise you, you will be grateful for this practice when it’s time for NCLEX. We know this works! Also, you do not need to upload your remediation worksheets with your reflections.
