What is the ATI proctored exam?

The ATI proctored exam is a standardized assessment created by Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) to evaluate a nursing student’s comprehensive knowledge and predict readiness for the NCLEX licensure test. Unlike routine course exams, this proctored assessment provides a nationally benchmarked performance analysis.

Key characteristics of the ATI proctored exam include:

  • Standardized NCLEX Predictor: It generates a detailed “Comprehensive Predictor” score, forecasting your probability of passing the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN on the first attempt.
  • Comprehensive Content Coverage: The exam tests all major nursing domains, including pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, mental health, and maternal-newborn care, integrating knowledge from multiple courses.
  • Secure, Controlled Administration: Proctoring ensures test integrity, either through in-person supervision or online monitoring software, making results a reliable benchmark for program evaluation.

Therefore, the ATI proctored exam serves as a critical diagnostic and predictive tool within nursing curricula. Your performance directly informs remediation strategies and provides a crucial benchmark for both students and programs aiming to ensure licensure success and educational quality.
