Score Explanation and Interpretation Individual Performance Profile

Adjusted Individual Total Score:

The adjusted individual total score is a function of the number of questions answered correctly divided by the number of scored questions on the assessment. This percentage-correct score is then adjusted to account for differences in the difficulty of the form taken, producing the adjusted individual total score.

For example:

# of questions answered correctly (136)

Total # of scored questions on assessment (150)=

Adjustment

136 = 90.7% ( for form ) = Adjusted Individual

150 difficulty Total Score

NA: Data not available

Pretest Items: There are 30 un-scored pretest questions throughout the assessment, and 150 scored questions. The pretest questions are used for research purposes.

Topics to Review: Based on the questions missed on this assessment, a listing of content areas and topics to review is provided.

Norm-Referenced Measures: Means and percentile ranks can be useful for comparing performance to other PN nursing students. These means and percentile ranks are initially set on a volunteer norming sample. They are reviewed annually, and may be periodically reset as more students take the assessments.

Mean - National: The national mean is the average of the individual scores of all PN test takers (within a specified sample from the ATI data pool) for this assessment.

Percentile Rank - National: The national percentile rank refers to the proportion of test takers from PN nursing programs (within a specified sample from the ATI data pool) whose scores are the same as or lower than your individual score.
