The current ATI guidelines at Georgian Court University in Lakewood, New Jersey, are causing significant distress among students. I am one of those students who has been directly affected, and I can attest to the fact that many others are facing similar challenges. The ATI exams are not just another assessment; they have become a barrier to our academic progression. Despite our hard work and dedication throughout the semester, we're faced with tests that don't align with the resources we're provided.

Most professors at the university do not teach directly from the ATI books, leaving us unprepared for these important exams. Their assistance in preparing us for these specific assessments is minimal, which is worrying considering the weight these tests hold in relation to our actual exams. An inconsistency in preparation and expectation is setting us up for failure, unfairly jeopardizing our education.

The system needs crucial amendments to ensure ATI exams assist, rather than hinder, students in their academic journey. I am calling on Georgian Court University to review and reform its current approach to ATI guidelines. This includes aligning teaching materials with ATI resources, offering more tailored support to help students prepare, and reconsidering the weight of these exams in our final grading.

Evidence from peers reveals numerous accounts of the stress and setbacks caused by this mismatched system. Comparative studies from other universities show that when the curriculum is aligned with evaluation tools, student performance improves significantly. Reform is not only possible but necessary for the academic and mental well-being of the student body at Georgian Court University.

Sign this petition to urge the administration of Georgian Court University to take immediate and decisive action. Let's ensure students receive the education and support they deserve, and that ATI exams become a fair measure of our knowledge and hard work.
