Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI)
Assessment measures are utilized in the nursing program to further evaluate student learning. Standardized ATI tests assess specialized knowledge associated with each clinical course. The ATI Comprehensive Assessment and Review Program (CARP) is utilized to give feedback to nursing students regarding their readiness for NCLEX.
The following guidelines apply to the administration of these tests:
- The above tests must be completed on schedule to receive grade reports and to meet criteria for BSN completion and graduation.
- Fees for testing are paid directly to ATI.
- Testing is to be completed in the computer lab or designated area approved by the lead instructor.
- Students can either use the computers in the computer lab or bring their own laptop.
- The schedule for testing is designated by the lead instructor.
- ATI testing will be conducted at the conclusion of clinical courses.
- ATI test results become a part of the student file.
- Students must pass the ATI Comprehensive Predictor Exam (achieve a score of 80%) upon completion of the program.
- Alternatives to ATI testing (UWORLD or similar NCLEX prep resources) may be substituted at the University’s discretion.
ATI Proctored Test:
A student must take the proctored test associated with this course and pass with at least a Level 2 score in order to progress in this class. If the student does not pass the proctored test with a Level 2 score, he/she
must complete the ATI remediation process and will be allowed to retake the ATI proctored exam one time only. The student will only be allowed to take the proctored exam a maximum of two times. The scoring will be pass or fail; no percentage will be allotted to the ATI proctored exam.
Level 3:Pass
Level 2:Pass
Level 1:Fail
Below Level 1:Fail
The ATI proctored test is pass/fail. If the student fails to score a Level 2 on the second and final attempt of ATI, he/she must repeat the course
If the student scores Level 1 or below on the initial attempt, he/she will be required to complete the remediation process in preparation for retaking the proctored test. Verification of the mandatory remediation will be the responsibility of the instructor. The following is a breakdown of remediation:
Level 1 Spend at least 2.5 hours in the focused review for each topic; complete at least 10 remediation templates.
Below Level 1 Spend at least 3.5 hours in the focused complete at least 15 remediation templates.
The final grade in the class must be at least 78% out of 100% on quiz/exam grades only. Additional coursework will only be added after 78% has been achieved with quizzes/exams. The ATI proctored test will
also need to be mastered at a pass level.
The student must achieve at least a 78% in the class AND a pass on the ATI proctored test to progress in the nursing program. Failure to achieve one or the other will result in failure of the course.
