Overall, I feel as though this exam did not go as well as when I took ATI Comp practice A. I was losing focus more and it took me longer to complete because I kept pausing the test which did not work out in my favor. However, I realized that taking more breaks made me lose my focus, so that is something I will not do again. Another thing I realized while doing my remediations is that some of the questions I got wrong were like the ones I got wrong for practice A. This was frustrating for me and made me realize I must pay more attention while I do my remediations, so I do not repeat mistakes. I am glad that I made these mistakes between the two exams because I have learned from them, and I know what not to do now. My goals moving forward would be to put all my focus into my remediations, be able to stay focused during my exam, and doing practice questions before the proctored exam. The more practice questions I do, the more I should be able to learn about all the possible questions that could be on the exam. My goals should be reflected in the grade I get on the proctored comp exam.

When I first started taking the exam, I was surprised that it was 150 questions, so I was not prepared to sit there and take it for that long. However, I did try my best on the exam which ended up working out. Since no one was home in my apartment, I was able to gather my focus and take the exam. I knew I would have to be able to focus the whole time since we have a proctored comp exam coming up, so I tried very hard. There were some questions that I got wrong that I felt as though I should not have, so preparing for the comp final I will make sure that I do practice questions and go over all of the topics I have missed. Reflecting on my SMART goals, I have improved on staying focused during exams and using my crucial thinking skills. Reflecting on my pharmacology proctored ATI, I will continue to go over practice questions in order to do well on the proctored exam.
This exam went well since we are currently taking our pediatric class. I tried to really focus on each question and think critically about the answers. However, there were some questions that I could have gotten right but did not think deeply enough about it. That is something I need to improve for future ATI exams. I want to be able to give each question my full focus and thought when answering it, so I do not make any silly mistakes like I have this time. I also need to make sure to take these exams in an environment that will not cause me any distractions because that will stimulate the environment we have while taking any proctored ATI exams. When it comes to my smart goals, I just want to continue to give my full focus to all the questions to make sure there were no questions that I got wrong that I could have got right. I should be able to measure this when going over the questions I got wrong and know that there was a reason I got it wrong other than making a silly mistake or not thinking fully about all of the answers.
My goal from the last ATI I took, which was ATI Pharm practice B was that I would study a little bit every day to prepare for the proctored pharm exam. I did follow through with that and I would look at practice ATI’s and quizlets to prepare for the exam. I was very proud of myself for doing that because this was the first ATI assessment where I felt confident going into it. That is something that went well for me the fact that I studied and felt prepared. Something that did not go well was that I had been studying for the hours before taking the exam, so by the time I went to take the exam I felt a little bit burnt out. Reflecting on all my smart goals in the past, I will make sure to take a break before taking the next exam, so I do not already feel burnt out before I take it. I have had problems with losing focus during these exams in the past, so I have to make sure I do everything I can to make sure that does not happen.
The experience of taking the ATI pharm practice B was similar to me taking practice A. Even though my grade was lower on practice B, I still had the extra practice before taking it. It helped me understand how to choose the best answers for each question, but I was still not sure on some. Again, I felt I was able to keep my focus due to the fact it was only 60 questions and based on my SMART goal from the practice A reflection. I still wish I knew more information about medications, and with that I will make sure to study more for the proctored assessment. As a SMART goal I will work on practice pharm exams the week leading up to taking the proctored pharm assessment. It will be measured based on how much studying I do and making sure I do it every day. This should reflect through my grade after taking the ATI pharm proctored exam. Although I feel I am able to keep my focus on ATIs with 60 questions, I do need to continue to work on that and be prepared to take an exam that is longer and keep my focus for it.
