After taking the fundamentals and mental health ATI assessments I feel confident, but not content. I did very well on both assessments. In the fundamentals ATI exam, I missed 20 out of the 75 questions. In the mental health ATI exam, I missed 16 out of the 75 questions. Many of the questions I missed were considered a “hard” difficulty level. I think what went well was taking my time on the questions. I read each question and interpreted it in my own words before looking for an answer. I canceled out options I knew weren’t possible and selected the choice that I saw as the best fit. I’d say what didn’t go well were some of the select all that apply questions. I did not adjust my test-taking strategies after taking the first assessment (fundamentals). I continued my strategy of canceling out options, and reading questions at least a couple of times to ensure I wasn’t getting tripped up with the wording. I did well the first time with my test-taking strategy, so I didn’t feel I had to adjust. Overall, the ATI exam was a great refresher to knowledge attained from Adult Health I and Mental Health.
