After completing this course and all of the work preparing us for our licensure, I feel that we were properly prepared. Using the individual reports from all of the practice ATIs I was able to identify some test strategies that helped me to improve my scores as the semester went on. The thing that I found really worked well for me was making sure that I set aside an allotted amount of time to really be able make sure that I was focused and not rushing to finish the practice test. Another strategy that I found to really help was finding a quiet area where I wouldn’t get distracted by other people or other things. This again really helped me to focus and get things done. When I identified any content gaps from the practice exams, I made sure that I completed the remediations thoroughly to really help to learn the material again. To complete these remediations I made sure to use all the resources I had available. These included the ATI eBook and the books from our previous courses that we have already taken. I felt that going back and looking at the material as well as reading what the ATI book had to say really reinforced what information was needed. I will be able to use the preparation that we had from this course and really take into consideration what has worked well for me and what hasn’t worked well for me. When it comes to preparing to get my licensure I know I will need to be able to find a quiet area with very little distractions too really be able to focus on studying. Using the remediations they helped to identify the areas that I should focus my attention on the most and will be able to use them as a study tool. All of the skills that we have acquired throughout the class will help us greatly in preparing to transition into our professional practice.
