Another thing is that you can take the NCLEX more than once, and you have a longer time period in which you can take the NCLEX. These exams can only be done once. You also spend over a year preparing for the NCLEX, while there are instances where you have less than 3 weeks to memorize numerous chapters. So while I understand knowing what your getting into and having the NCLEX being a high stakes exam, the circumstances (in my opinion) are different. As I'm sure you know there's different types of learners, so why not make these projects that are worth a grade. To help even out the playing field in a way. After all, nursing is about real life application, not answering multiple choice questions.

Thank you for the reply! My one classmate I'm most concerned about was diagnosed with severe anxiety mid-semester and was unable register for ADA accommodations. Had he been able to do so, he probably would be moving on with us. Professors comment about how he excels in class but makes the same mistakes during exams, despite seeing education specialists regarding these issues. Does he have any type of way to save his space? He failed by 0.02%.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew if any nursing program has the right to determine a semesters grade solely on examinations (in this case 3 exams). I feel as this is unfair to my fellow classmates who have issues with test taking (anxiety and such) and do awful on them. However they do great in clinicals, and are very active in class. I don't know if these classmates have any ground to stand on about how the class is set up and the grading a students theory knowledge on exams only. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
