HESI Exit v1 Prep (NUR 498) Steps to completing Weekly Required Number of Questions and Achievement of 80% average Score

Study Calendar: The numbers (55, 57) under the Category (Pharmacology) correspond to specific chapters in the Saunders/Silvestri RN Comprehensive Review eBook. Locate the chapters in the eBook to formulate your practice questions. For example, Pharmacology 57, corresponds to Chapter 57, Cardiovascular Medications. 2. You will then go into the Saunders/Silvestri Resource. 3. "Step 1: Select Mode" Exam mode as you need a score which Exam mode delivers (first column). Suggest starting with a 10-question Exam. You will become better and better at answering questions and may want to work up to higher number of questions in the Exam Mode. That is a goal. Starting with 10 questions may help promote confidence. a. Suggestion: before you use Exam Mode (required to achieve 80%) in Step 1, suggest using the Study Mode first or in between the Exam Mode as the Study Mode gives you rationales, correct answers, and test taking strategies. The Exam Mode does not give rationales, correct answers, test taking strategies as it is designed as an Exam. Study Mode will not populate into your HISTORY and or count towards your 80% but may be useful. b. NOTE: Take note of the Test Taking Strategy while utilizing Study Mode. Thisis valuable as you move through the Exit HESI’s and the NCLEX. Test Taking Strategies want to be your friends . 4. Next "Step 2: Select Category" and click CONTENT AREA (second column). 5. Next "Step 3: Select Subcategories" pick the area in the 3rd column that matches the content area from your calendar. I.e. Pharmacology 57 corresponds to Chapter 57, Cardiovascular Medications. Pick: Pharmacology, Subcategory: Cardiovascular Medications. 6. You will need to do the number of questions required per your Indicator Form in Exam Mode, based on your Study Calendar Results and you will be submitting the required total # of questions with your 80% average achievement on a weekly basis into the Blackboard link. You may have several screen shots to upload. 7. If you do not reach 80% (in Exam Mode) and you have completed the required number of questions you will be required to complete additional questions to demonstrate achievement of the 80% average (in Exam Mode). It is a package deal; Required # of questions and achievement of 80% average. 8. I have included screen shots below to help explain. 9. The goal and rationale are to promote success. 10. Please refer to Screen Shots. 11. Here’s to lots of SUCCESS, CONFIDENCE and LEARNING .
