Kaplan Focus Review Tests and Integrated Exam Spring 2020

Kaplan Focus Review Tests and Integrated Exam Spring 2020 Purpose of Kaplan Integrated Exams Kaplan Integrated Exams teach students how to read and answer NCLEX-style questions. Kaplan Integrated Exams require students to apply cumulative knowledge from both classroom and clinical experiences – not everything on the integrated exams will have been covered in the current course. Preparing for Kaplan Integrated Exams  Complete all expected course activities as instructed (this will provide the knowledge base!)  Complete focused reviews (if available), whether required or not, AND REMEDIATE  Evaluate what you know & identify deficient areas in need of further study  If no associated focused reviews, challenge yourself with related focused reviews Grading Percentile rank, not percent correct, is used for grading. The percentile rank will show you where students are performing compared to all students across the country. This information will help determine how well-prepared students are at the end of a course. Kaplan likes all students to be at or above the 50th percentile rank - “Half the students performed better than you and half did not”. Students at the 50th percentile are on the right path to NCLEX success. Student exam grades are based on the percentile rank received (not percent correct) and a conversion chart is used to determine the final exam grade. If students do not remediate by the deadline assigned in the course, the student will receive the percentile rank grade only. Example: Student places in the 50th percentile rank for Kaplan Integrated Exam. This converts to an 82% exam grade. Remediation handed in late or not done: student receives a 50 for the exam grade.
