Our Clinical Judgment Exams are developed by teams of experts in nursing and education. These experts in assessment work with professional nurses and nursing faculty to ensure each question has a solid Clinical Judgment focus. Item types include multiple choice, extended multiple response, graphic, hot spot, cloze, rank order, drag and drop, matrix, and calculation. Unique Electronic Health Record scenarios, to include trending questions, are included throughout to increase realism and the Clinical Judgment focus.

Clinical Judgment Exams offer multiple assessments for each specialty and subject. Each assessment includes results in cohort- and student-level reports to assess Clinical Judgment at all levels. The Strengths and Opportunities Report provides detailed information on each individual student and a Summary Report is provided for aggregated cohort performance. Performance data also demonstrates learners’ percentile rank compared to a national sample of students taking the same exam.


Two Alternatives to Begin Using Clinical Judgment Exams

Benchmarked Assessment

Take advantage of pre-written assessments that accurately gauge student learning and competency. Category-based reporting at the program and student level measures students’ true mastery of concepts against a national cohort of nursing students. To help ensure nursing students are on track for practice readiness and NCLEX-PN® success, each content area includes three distinct assessment types: Benchmark I, Benchmark II, and Open Check.

Build-Your-Own Question Bank

Every instructor knows writing professional-level nursing exam questions is difficult and time-consuming. That’s why each Clinical Judgment Exam content area includes content that instructors may use to supplement their own exam questions to help improve assessment and instruction. These questions are securely uploaded and saved in the client’s ExamSoft database for use at the instructor’s discretion.
