Specific actions and results from case study may be useful to other nurse educators teaching in baccalaureate school of nursing.  \nKey Words: NCLEX, Nursing students, Preparation strategies  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nThe NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Examination—Registered Nurse) has undergone numerous changes over the past few years, which include different question formats and an emphasis on critical thinking skills. What this means for nursing students and schools of nursing is the adoption of different tactics to prepare for the new version of the exam. For example, the NCLEX-RN pass rates among BSN students at one university school of nursing declined from 91.36% in 2012 to 80.18% in 2013, which suggested that the students were not accustomed to the new version of the exam. After the school implemented different forms of support to assist its students in preparing for the new version of the exam, the NCLEX-RN pass rate among the students increased to its current level of 97% . The purpose of this paper is to present the strategies implemented by the school that resulted in the improved NCLEX-RN outcomes among its BSN students.  \nThe NCLEX-RN has evolved with time and changes in nurs-  \ning practice. The passing standards change every 3 years, which has resulted in not only a decline in NCLEX-RN pass rates from a national average of a 90.22% in 2012 to 84.29% in 2013,[1] but also the implementation of remediation tactics among U.S. schools of nursing to assist their students in passing the exam. It is against this backdrop that we conducted a literature review to analyze the types of NCLEX-RN remediation and their efficacy among U.S. schools of nursing. Theremediation tactics that have been used include (1) anxiety relief methods,(2) standardized exams that require remediation if a student scores below a defined standard, and (3) a pedagogical emphasis of nursing concepts and critical thinking skills.  \nIn its current form, the NCLEX-RN is a computerized, adaptive testing model. The exam can be as short as 75 questions yet can take as long as 6 hours to complete. Test takers must pay approximately US$200.00 to register for the NCLEXRN. The test is adaptive, which means that it begins with easier questions and becomes more difficult as the test pro-  \n∗ Correspondence: Kathryn Puskar; [Email: Krp12@pitt.edu](Email: Krp12@pitt.edu); Address: School of Nursing, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, United States.  \nPublished by Sciedu Press 37  \ngresses. More challenging questions are presented at the end of the exam, where the test designers assume that test takers have a 50% chance of correctly answering the questions. [2] Moreover, all NCLEX-RN questions now generally require more critical thinking to answer than they previously did by requiring test takers to select all answers that apply to correctly answer questions targeting, for example, nursing diagnoses and nursing.  \nIn 2013, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) announced the content areas that would be covered on the NCLEX-RN, which currently comprise managemen","cbCaikOhR9yOxSwj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikOhR9yOxSwj","pdf",1728487,"English","# Introduction\n## NCLEX-RN background and exam changes\n## Overview of NCLEX-RN remediation approaches\n# NCLEX-RN Preparation Strategies Provided by U.S. Schools of Nursing\n## Long Island University case strategy\n## York College case strategy","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this article?\",\"answer\":\"To discuss NCLEX-RN preparation strategies used by several U.S. schools of nursing and to describe a specific university case study aimed at improving NCLEX RN pass rates.\"},{\"question\":\"Why did NCLEX-RN performance decline and then improve at one university?\",\"answer\":\"BSN pass rates declined after adopting the newer exam version, suggesting students were not accustomed to it.
