Nursing Practice Test Remediation: Essential for Nursing Student Success


Nursing students will take hundreds of tests throughout their academic career to evaluate their ability to practice safely and effectively as a bedside nurse. However, if such students are to take such tests effectively, they must sufficiently practice and prepare.

How should nursing students prepare for their nursing exams? They should prepare for an exam as they would for a driving test to receive licensure. How would the driving student do on their driving test if they only read the driver’s manual or the rules of the road and never sat in the driver’s seat? The driving student would have to get in the driver’s seat of the car and practice truly driving to best prepare. It’s more than reading about the experience of driving. It is about doing it! Likewise, nursing students should implement practice exams before taking actual exams.

Practice exams should be taken immediately after the student has received lecture and has read the applicable chapters of the textbook. The purpose of a practice exam is to simulate taking an exam and to evaluate and correct knowledge of content and test taking strategies. It goes beyond simply taking a practice exam and looking at the score of such an exam to gauge how well he student will perform on the real exam.
