What is the primary purpose of the ATI T-11 assessment?

The primary purpose of the ATI T-11 assessment is to evaluate nursing students' knowledge and readiness for the registered nursing licensure exam. This assessment is designed to ensure that students possess the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge in nursing that is essential for successful practice in the field and for passing the NCLEX-RN exam. By focusing on the key areas covered in the nursing curriculum, the assessment helps identify students' strengths and weaknesses, allowing for targeted remediation and preparation for the licensure exam.

In contrast, evaluating practical skills directly relates to hands-on competencies that are typically assessed through clinical evaluations rather than through a standardized knowledge assessment like the T-11. Assessing nursing faculty performance and determining student satisfaction are not the focus of the T-11; rather, faculty performance is evaluated through different faculty assessments while student satisfaction would be gathered through surveys or feedback mechanisms rather than through a skills or knowledge test.
