As you create your custom practice quizzes, you will see a mix of these question types, just as you would see on the exam for which you’re preparing.
QUIZ MODES Further customize your quizzes by choosing from three quiz types:
STUDY MODE Study mode is similar to an open book quiz without a time limit. In this quiz environment, you can read the explanations as you go and practice at your own pace.
TEST (UNTIMED) MODE Test (Untimed) Mode is like taking a closed book quiz without the pressure of a time limit. Answers and explanations are not available during the quiz.
TEST (TIMED) MODE To quasi-simulate the pressure of a test environment, Test (Timed) Mode allows you to study without revealing the correct answers and explanations until the quiz has been completed.
NCLEX® CAT TESTING MODE For NCLEX® students, you can choose to practice in a Computer Adaptive Test mode (CAT). Computer adaptive testing adjusts to your abilities - providing you with either an easier or harder question depending on how you answered the previous question.
DETAILED ANALYTICS
ANSWER RESPONSE TIME Oftentimes we know the answer, but it can take us too long to recall it. With built-in analytics to evaluate your answer response time, you can see if you’re on the right track to completing your board exam in the allotted time frame.
Analytics cover your average response time based on individual questions, averages by subject, and averages by quiz.
PEER RANK Individual performance scores are important, but only give you part of the story. Our Peer Rank metric shows how you compare with others answering the same questions so you can see how you're ranking compared to your peers studying for the same exam.
Our comprehensive evidence-based explanations are now augmented with Peer Comparisons so you can see exactly how other users answered the same question with percentages for each answer choice.
MONITOR YOUR PROGRESS Your competency changes as you study. Your dashboard will feature a visual representation of your performance over time. Identifying growth or plateaus can help you target trouble areas and maximize your study time.
