During the ATI T-17, what is the recommended way to approach difficult questions?

The recommended approach of skipping difficult questions and returning to them later allows for a more strategic use of time during an assessment like the ATI T-17. By prioritizing questions that are easier or more familiar, you can maximize your score by ensuring that you answer as many questions correctly as possible within the allotted time.

This method also reduces the stress and potential panic that can arise when faced with challenging questions, allowing you to clear your mind and tackle them with a fresh perspective later on. Additionally, as you progress through the exam, the context gained from other questions might provide insights that could help you with those challenging items when you return to them.

Spending extra time on difficult questions could jeopardize your ability to complete the exam, while guessing and moving on quickly might not be the best use of your knowledge or test-taking strategy. Consulting study resources immediately is impractical during an exam setting, where the focus should be on answering questions based on what you have already learned.
