NCLEX practice tests

Did anyone else take the NCLEX practice tests and find them to be fun? Also, at the time of this writing, the link to the NCSBN gives me a 404 error. Otherwise, the data provided by the candidate performance report is an invaluable reference to have for someone who just failed the exam. It specifically delineates what areas the student is weak in and special attention can be focused there. Aside from simply having the student review their deficits, Kalet, et al. (2016) state that a programmatic approach should be adopted. They cite multiple steps including the use of multiple sources of review to make detailed evaluation of the students’ progress as any one single evaluation is unlikely to gather a clear picture. Which is in line with that Oermann (2016) says about evaluations in general. I believe that one of Kalet, et al.’s (2016) strongest points is to establish a framework for an individualized written remediation including a variety of strategies tailed to suit the individual’s needs. Since each student learns in their own way, a “one-size fits all” sort of generic plan would place the student at a significant disadvantage.
