Comprehensive predictor exams, what's in the ati critical thinking exit exam.

A critical thinking exam presents a paragraph of information setting a scenario in the medical field. You're supposed to determine if the information is truthful from the statement. There are four ways the examiner tests your critical thinking;

Assumption:

In this scenario, the examiner wants you to evaluate the statement and conclude if the assumption is present . It's up to you to determine if the information provided has an assumption.

Example question : When administering medications, which statement is true regarding the "Five Rights" of medication administration?

a) Right patient means any patient who requests medication.

b) The right route ensures that the medication is administered as quickly as possible.

c) The right dose requires giving the highest possible dose to ensure effectiveness.

d) None of the options are correct.

Answer: (d) None of the options are correct.

Inference :

In the inference question, the examiner will present various inferences , and you will be asked to mention if the inferences are possibly true, absolutely true, possibly false, or absolutely false.

Question Example: When providing care to a patient, which statement regarding hand hygiene is true?

a) Hand hygiene is necessary only after direct contact with body fluids.

b) Hand hygiene should be performed before and after every patient interaction.

c) Hand hygiene can be skipped if gloves are worn.

d) Hand hygiene is primarily the responsibility of the nursing assistants.

Answer: b) Hand hygiene should be performed before and after every patient interaction.

Interpretation:

In this question type, the examiner asks you to interpret the passage in your own words and come up with a possible conclusion. You need to understand the information and create a conclusion based on the interpretation question.

Example Question : You are assessing a patient with a strict fluid restriction due to a medical condition. Upon reviewing the patient's intake and output records, you notice that the recorded fluid intake exceeds the prescribed limit consistently. What could be the possible reasons for this situation, and how should a nurse interpret and address it?

a) The patient is not adhering to the fluid restriction and is consuming liquids covertly.

b) Errors in recording or miscalculations in measuring the patient's fluid intake.

c) The healthcare provider has changed the patient's fluid restriction, but the records were not updated.

d) The patient's condition has worsened, requiring a relaxation of the fluid restriction.

e) The nursing staff intentionally provides additional fluids to improve patient comfort.

Correct Answer: The correct answer may vary based on the specific scenario and information available. However, a) The patient is not adhering to the fluid restriction and consuming liquids covertly, and b) Errors in recording or miscalculations in measuring the patient's fluid intake.

Analysis argument:

In such questions, you're presented with an argument, and you will determine if it's weak or strong. The argument that relates to a certain scenario is strong but weak if not directed.

Example Question:

In modern healthcare, the nurse's role has evolved significantly, with an increasing emphasis on technology and complex medical interventions. Analyze the following statement: "While technological advancements have undoubtedly improved patient care, they have also raised ethical concerns and potentially reduced the focus on holistic patient-centered care in nursing practice." Provide a well-structured argument supporting or refuting this statement, considering the ethical implications and the balance between technology and human touch in nursing.

Remote Proctoring

74% of programs used remote proctoring during spring 2020*

From admissions to end-of-program testing, you have access to a secure option to remotely proctor assessments via ATI’s partnership with Proctorio. The Proctorio platform uses machine learning to remotely proctor students from wherever they — and you — are located. You can proctor from the comfort of your home or office while your students take the assessment from their study space. When your assessments incorporate this type of secure proctoring component, you are assured of an receiving results that are an adequate representation of students’ knowledge.

USE FOR ALL PROCTORED EXAMS

You can administer all of your ATI proctored exams — from TEAS to the Comprehensive Predictor, and all exams in between — with the convenience and security that remote proctoring provides.

A SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE

The Proctorio functionality is integrated into the ATI platform, ensuring the proctor’s experience remains the same. Test takers experience the new added layers of security only after logging in to the assessment.

SCHEDULING, ON YOUR TERMS

You won’t be encumbered by blackout dates or other restrictions when scheduling a proctored assessment, providing you with flexibility and convenience.

AN ADDED LEVEL OF SECURITY

No matter where your test-taker is located, your program can feel confident that your proctored assessments are being administered in a secure environment.

Prior to an exam  

Students are required to provide a photo ID, webcam photo, and e-signature verification before beginning an assessment. Once these steps are completed, the proctor will allow access to the exam.

During an exam  

Once the test begins, the virtual proctor software gets to work. The student’s screen will be locked, so they will not able to open other windows. They will be monitored via webcam, microphone, and screen recording. The software will automatically flag abnormalities during the assessment, which the ATI Test Security team then reviews.

System requirements  

A full list of ATI technical requirements can be found  here .

The crucial need for remote proctoring.

Remote proctoring became commonplace during the pandemic. But its use also raised some questions. We researched answers to allay concerns.

ATI Critical Thinking Entrance Exam

Students General Students

Published Jan 30, 2014

Today I took the ATI Critical Thinking Entrance exam for my first semester of Nursing school and I totally bombed it. 65% really?! I thought I understood the majority of the questions and went with what I thought was the best answer. I understand that this is an indicator of where my strengths and weakness lies and how well I will do on those tests and might affect on how well I do in the program. This has really crushed my confidence in the test taking area. The last couple of years, I have been working towards to getting into the program. I'm in and then I took this test, so I'm doubting myself. What can I do to do well on all my tests and especially on the NCLEX in 2 years?

I thought the same about the test. I made a 77. My school says they use the test to gauge how much our critical thinking skills grow from the beginning to the end of the semester. Critical thinking for most is a learned skill. I had several in my cohort state they got really low scores, in the 50's. One of my friends got an 87! We all had a celebratory cookie with her cause that was an awesome score.

You didn't bomb it. This isn't something you judge by grades or percentages. They use it to assess your critical thinking ability before class, and then compare it at the end of the year to see how much progress you've made. It doesn't really reflect on your grades directly... you'll hone your crit thinking as you progress through school.

Thanks, that makes me feel a bit better. I know I'm going to be putting in some serious hours of studying and getting through my med. dose calc. Hopefully in 2 years, I'll look back at the entrance exam and be able to laugh at what I did wrong and go forward from there.

I was kind sad and let doubt creep in. Then I pulled myself up By the boot straps and said that I will reach my dream. Self doubt is my greatest enemy. Good luck to you

Hi, can someone tell me after taking the Critical Thinking entrance test what is the range of questions on the test? Is it more than 50 questions or less? Thank you
