The ATI RN Maternal Newborn exam is a proctored, school-controlled assessment delivered through ATI’s computer-based testing platform. It typically includes about 60 questions to complete in about 60 minutes, using multiple-choice items with some alternate item types. Your result is reported as a proficiency level (often Levels 1–3), with many programs expecting at least Level 2.

Students in RN programs most commonly take this exam during or after maternal-newborn coursework, and some professionals may use it as part of program requirements or remediation plans. Because it’s administered under testing conditions, it’s designed to reflect the pace and decision-making you’ll need on exam day.

This exam matters because it can influence course outcomes, remediation requirements, and your overall progression in an RN program. It also checks whether you can apply maternal and newborn nursing knowledge in clinical-style scenarios—not just recall facts.

Preparation is important because the exam is considered challenging and time-limited. Practicing with realistic, question-based study helps you build speed, recognize common clinical patterns, and identify weak areas early—so you can focus your study time where it will raise your proficiency level the most.

Exam Structure

ATI RN Maternal Newborn exam format and what to expect

Understand the test structure, question types, timing, and scoring so you can practice the way you’ll be tested.

The ATI RN Maternal Newborn assessment is typically delivered as a computer-based, proctored exam through ATI (your school controls scheduling and testing conditions). You can expect about 60 questions in roughly 60 minutes (estimates), with a primarily multiple-choice structure and select alternate item types. Because pacing matters, it helps to practice answering, flagging, and returning to questions efficiently—just like you’ll do on exam day.

Scoring is commonly reported as a proficiency level (Levels 1–3) based on percent correct (estimated), with many programs looking for Level 2 (Proficiency Level). That means your goal isn’t only “getting more right,” but getting consistently accurate across core maternal-newborn concepts. When you practice, focus on both correctness and decision-making under time pressure, especially for items that require prioritization or applying clinical judgment.

Your Game Plan

Build a focused study plan that fits your timeline

Use diagnostics, targeted practice, and realistic timing to walk into exam day prepared.

  1. Start with a diagnostic baseline — Take a baseline assessment to quickly identify what you already know and what needs work, so you don’t waste time reviewing everything equally.
  2. Turn results into a weekly plan — Use the Smart Study Planner to map practice sessions to your exam date, set manageable goals, and keep your preparation organized even on busy clinical weeks.
  3. Target weak areas first — Focus your practice on the topics and question styles you missed most. Keslaly’s Intelligent Practice Engine helps you spend more time where you can gain the most points.
  4. Practice with explanations (not just answers) — After each set, review detailed explanations to understand the “why,” correct misconceptions, and build faster clinical reasoning for maternal-newborn scenarios.
  5. Add timed readiness exams — Schedule timed exams to match the estimated 60-question / 60-minute pace. This builds stamina, improves time management, and reduces test-day pressure.
  6. Simulate the full exam experience — Use full mock exam simulations with exam-style tools (timer, navigation, and flags) to practice staying calm, prioritizing questions, and avoiding avoidable errors.
  7. Track readiness and adjust — Review your Performance Analytics Dashboard after each session to monitor progress, spot persistent gaps, and follow your readiness tracking to decide when to review, when to drill, and when you’re ready to test.

Many versions are around 60 questions, but your school’s proctored assessment can vary. Always confirm the exact settings in ATI or with your instructor. Keslaly practice lets you train with similar-length sets and full mock exams.

Many programs use ATI Proficiency Levels (Levels 1–3), and Level 2 is commonly targeted, but requirements vary by school. Check your syllabus or ATI policy for your cohort. Use practice results to track whether you’re consistently performing at your goal level.

Exact topic weighting isn’t always published, but questions commonly cover antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum care, newborn assessment, complications, and patient education. You’ll also see safety, prioritization, and therapeutic communication woven throughout. Your best guide is your course blueprint and missed-question patterns in practice.

It’s often considered challenging because it tests clinical judgment, prioritization, and safety—not just memorization. Difficulty also depends on your OB content foundation and how recently you completed the course. Focused practice with explanations is one of the fastest ways to improve.

Most students do best with 1–3 weeks of steady practice, depending on their baseline and schedule. Start with a diagnostic set, then study weak areas using targeted questions and review. Short daily sessions usually beat last-minute cramming.

A common estimate is about 60 minutes for roughly 60 questions, though proctor settings can differ by program. Practicing timed sets helps you build pacing and reduce test-day pressure.
