Student-Created Practice Exams for Nursing Courses

Creator: Laura Vogelsang, MN, RN

Duration: 2:01

When preparing for exams and ultimately for the NCLEX-RN, students often approach their faculty for practice questions. Although incorporating questions into a lecture may be an effective teaching strategy, usually the number of questions is limited because, once they are used in class, they are no longer valid for an examination. In this course, students developed their own questions related to content that had been covered in class in exchange for 1 bonus mark on their most recent quiz. Learn more about this in the video and read the author’s Teaching Tips.

Duration: 3:22

Many programs have implemented end-of-program predictive testing to identify students at risk of NCLEX-RN failure. Unfortunately, for many students, end-of-program testing comes too late. The authors studied the relationships between 9 content area assessments and an end-of-program assessment shown to be predictive of NCLEX-RN success. Results indicate that scores on assessments for content areas such as medical surgical nursing and care of children are predictive of end-of-program test scores, suggesting that instructors should provide remediation at the first sign of lagging performance.
