About the test
The PN Comprehensive Predictor consists of 180 test questions and covers fundamentals of nursing, pharmacology, adult medical surgical nursing, maternal newborn care, mental health nursing, pediatric nursing, nutrition, and management. Each section is timed. The total time for the test is four hours.
Due to the difficulty of the test and the competitive nature of the programs, it is recommended that you speak to an academic advisor or healthcare program faculty member to make sure the PN Comprehensive Predictor is right for you.

Testing at off campus locations
If you tested at a location other than Central Piedmont, it is highly recommended that you update your ATI account with your Central Piedmont ID. Scores received without a Central Piedmont ID number may cause a delay in processing. Please confirm that the Central Piedmont Testing Center receives your scores.
If you took the PN Comprehensive Predictor at a different school and would like your results transferred to Central Piedmont, please contact ATI. ATI will send your official results to the Central Piedmont Testing Center. Once received, the Testing Center may print a copy of your scores for you. You will need to provide a valid photo ID.
