Preparation for Licensure (ATI Med-Surg CAT)
While taking the ATI Med-Surg CAT I noticed that I tended to get distracted especially towards the end of the quiz. I was tending to skim the questions rather than read them fully which in the end hurts the outcome rather than helps as there are key details in the way the question is worded. I also noticed while going back through my answers that I got a lot of select all that apply questions wrong, so next time I’m going to read the answer and question more thoroughly and rationalize why each answer makes sense. I think that if I were to maybe take a five-minute break to refresh my brain and get some water, that I would be more focused on what I was supposed to be doing. I do think that in the beginning I did really well, I was going through the questions with an open mind and knew that they were most likely going to be difficult, but I went in like it was any other exam and started strong, it was just towards the end that I was getting agitated and loosing focus.

Hailey, it is a good idea to notice when you are losing concentration and need a break – this is allowed during NCLEX!
