ExamSoft: Randy Johnson, College of Nursing

“ExamSoft is a secure testing solution that is used for high-stakes tests. This software enables secure testing on computers and tablets by blocking access to programs, files, and Internet usage during the test. ExamSoft is not dependent on an internet connection while testing.

In nursing computerized testing is essential to our ability to evaluate the learning achieved in the nursing courses. I have used ExamSoft for testing and find that it is easy to use, to create exam items, create question banks, and then to create tests. The best part is that upon completion of the exam, you have immediate access to the item analysis, and can easily review the exam and see how your students performed.

This beats using paper and pencil and the old scantrons we used to use, and then had to go run through the machine to get results. As the NCLEX-RN is computer-based, it also helps us to simulate or more closely replicate the NCLEX testing environment.”
