Fill-in-the-blank issue on review CD's

Published

Specializes in ICU.

Has anyone else noticed that the fill in the blank type review questions are not scored properly on their review CD's?

here's hopin I don't get many fill-in-the-blank questions on the exam... I have almost no confidence in the computers ability to score them and/or it may be me and I am not filling in my responses correctly... who knows...

thanks

What kind of CD do you use?

If Sounders, I completely agree with you and it happens with most of the fill-in-the-blank qs, even if I write the correct answer (word to word) the CD gives me "sorry it is the wrong answer". I hope that is software mistake and on the real exam they'll score our fill-in answer right.

Anyone else?

How are you filling it in? I don't believe there are supposed to be any labels and no spaces...is there a tutorial?

YUp, I had the same experience with my saunder's cd tutorial.. I think it's a software problem. I'd just read the rationale and move on.

They're having you put words in the blanks? On the real NCLEX, the NCSBN says that fill-in-the-blank is only used for calculations and you just put the number in the blank. I didn't have any fill-in-the-blanks on my test.

I didn't have any fill in the blanks either but I had a lot of "check all that apply".
