Do you mind sharing what your ATI scores were (percent-wise?). I'm looking @ my results right now and I'm just so baffled. I feel absolutely clueless and cannot help but to wonder how I can be doing so poorly.
Hang on, let me see if I can still remember my ati login...
Okay, here are my scores, in order of testing:
Teas: 91.2% individual, 98th percentile national, 96th program (means 74.4% national/78.7% program)
Critical thinking: 82.5% individual, 94th pct national, 91st pct program (means 68.0%/71.1%)
RN fundamentals: 81.7% individual, 96th pct national, 95th program (means 69.3%/70.3%), level 3
RN maternal-newborn: 86.7% individual, 98th pct national, 98th pct program (means 71.8%/71.8%), level 3
RN care of children: 75.0% individual, 95th pct national, 94th pct program (means 61.9%/62.1%), level 2
RN adult med-surg: 71.1% individual, 89th pct national, 88th pct program (means 61.6%/61.7%), level 2
RN mental health: 85.0% individual, 96th pct national and program (means 71.1%/71.8%), level 3
RN community health: 88.0% individual, 97th pct national, 98th pct program (means 71.7%/72.0%), level 3
RN leadership: 78.3% individual, 95th pct national and program (means 68.1%/67.8%), level 2
RN comprehensive predictor: 84.7% individual, 98th pct national and program (means 72.1%/71.6%), predicted first-attempt nclex pass rate 99%
Looking at trends in that set of results, it seems that you need better than 95th percentile on the national measure to score a level 3. However, it also seems that pretty much anything in the 80% individual range will do the trick r/t the national mean scores.

Are the percentiles based off of other nursing students...or just anyone who decides to take the test? (ie. rns, or those who may have previous experience or advantage?).
National means and percentiles are calculated from the scores of all rn students (associate's, bachelor's, accelerated bachelor's) taking the test. Program percentiles, conversely, are calculated from your specific school.
Hopefully this was some help to you, or at least informative. ? best of luck to you tomorrow!
