For this ATI exam, I looked over my remediation and the questions asked in the practice Comp ATI A and B. I made sure that before taking the test I did not keep answering practice questions because I knew that would burn me out before even beginning the test. I am glad that I did that because although it was hard toward the end, I was able to focus on the exam that took me just under 2 hours. I am proud of how I stayed focused while taking the exam because that had been something I was working toward with all the ATI’s I have taken. While doing remediations for this exam, I did notice categories that I needed to remediate on that I have already done in practice exams or topics that I should know in general. I was disappointed to see some of the categories that I needed to remediate on, but I also do not recall the specific questions so content may have just slipped my mind.

            This was our last big ATI before taking the NCLEX, and I feel that throughout this semester and even with this one comp exam I gained more confidence that I will pass the NCLEX. Finishing the test after 2 hours and being able to see a 97% chance of passing on the first try was an amazing feeling because I was worried with that I was going to get during the whole exam. Those feelings will reflect on my goals for taking the NCLEX. I want to be able to remain confident for the duration of the exam, even if I am unsure of answers. Freaking out and over thinking will lead to getting answers wrong, and that has been something I have been working on and something I want to continue to work on. Overall, this class and all of the ATI’s this semester have taught me about my test taking abilities and has allowed me to figure out what works and what does not work when preparing to take tests.
