A Checklist To Choose Your NCLEX Review Class

By Joshua Allen


For any nursing student or professional, the NCLEX is one thing that is all pervasive and also well known. The NCLEX is an examination that allows one to be registered in any one of the fifty states of the United States once one passes it. NCLEX is just a shorter term for the National Council Licensure Examination. Due to its importance, passing it is a big deal, and so many have set up review classes to help prospective examinees. Therefore you will need to know how to find a good NCLEX review class to help you pass.

A thing to remember before making a choice on anything, you must get your facts straight first. And the thing to help you get these facts right is through the use of a simple checklist. The list will help you to get rid of wrong info and keep the right ones. Read on in this article to see what should be included or done with your list.

If you know of any friends or colleagues that have passed the NCLEX ask them if they have used a reviewing service or class to help them do so. Ask them if they would also recommend the same to you and ask their overall experience. If you have no such friends, then it might be time for you to some internet research on your own.

When on the internet do try to gather quite a few providers that you can see and are of interest to you. Take note of general information that they may commonly share such as the number of years that they have been in operation, the success rate of their students in passing the examinations, qualifications of their staff, facilities, schedules and so on and so forth. Try to get a contact number or email so you can also inquire about certain other aspects of their operations.

As soon as you are able to contact them ask how comprehensive their studies will be and how well you will be prepared for the SATA portions of the test. The SATA portion deals with Select All That Apply questions and is the usual Waterloo of many a test taker. Inquire as to what kind of critical knowledge they will provide you with in terms of passing this portion of the test.

How well they prepare you for critical thinking related questions should also be asked of them. Critical thinking is needed for you to ace the high critical analysis questions found in the Prioritization and Delegation parts of the exam. Do inquire as what kind of question sets they use for preparation for this and how recent these question sets are.

Also look into their practice of individualized assessments if any, and look into the frequency by which this is done. An individualized assessment is designed so as to give the prospective exam taker a sneak peek into the future to see if he or she will pass or not. It is basically a preview of what will happen later.

These items thus discussed are ones that should be of main consideration on your decision making checklist. You should not only look at how much it will cost you in time and money, but also include these items so that you can arrive at a more informed decision. Deciding and choosing properly at the onset will prevent you having headaches later on.
