Lecturio Sigma NCLEX Review Series, Episode 11

Abstract

You've seen this scenario: You assign thousands of NCLEX practice questions. Students complete them. Your pass rates don't budge—or worse, they decline. What happened? Here's the hard truth: volume doesn't equal learning. When students face overwhelming question banks, they "click angrily" through assignments just to get them done. They're completing questions, not learning from them. And without effective remediation strategies, they can't transfer concepts from practice to the actual exam. Join Dr. Rhonda Lawes, PhD, RN, for a practical 60-minute session on teaching students how to remediate effectively—not just assign them more questions.

What You'll Learn:

✓ Why more questions don't improve scores – the cognitive science behind why passive question completion fails (and what to do instead)

✓ The difference between completing questions and learning from them – how to teach students active remediation that builds transferable knowledge

✓ A framework students can actually use – the 6-step Clinical Judgment analysis process that turns every wrong answer into a learning opportunity

✓ How to teach concept extraction – help students pull transferable principles from practice questions and apply them to new scenarios You'll Walk Away With: A remediation protocol you can teach to students this week

✓ Conversation scripts for when students resist ("I just need to do more questions!")

✓ Student handouts that guide effective question analysis

✓ Strategies to reduce question volume while improving learning outcomes

This Session Is For You If:

✓ You're assigning hundreds/thousands of questions but not seeing score improvements

✓ Your students are complaining about "too many questions," but still failing

✓ You suspect students are clicking through without learning

✓ You want to teach active remediation, not just assign passive practice

✓ You're tired of standardized tests that identify problems but don't help solve them
