    Summary

    Predicting nursing licensure exam success is possible using academic and standardized test scores. Early identification of at-risk nursing students can be achieved through these academic metrics, not review courses.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Academic Performance Metrics
    • Licensure Examination

    Background:

    • Identifying students at risk of failing the NCLEX is crucial for timely intervention.
    • Early detection of at-risk students allows for targeted academic support.
    • The effectiveness of NCLEX review courses needs empirical evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify optimal risk indices for predicting NCLEX failure.
    • To determine the earliest point in nursing education for risk assessment.
    • To evaluate the impact of formal review courses on NCLEX performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Statistical analysis of NCLEX scores.
    • Correlation of NCLEX performance with academic variables (nursing course grades, SAT, NLN scores).
    • Assessment of review course impact on test outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • A combination of four nursing course grades, SAT, and NLN scores predicted 62% of NCLEX score variance.
    • These academic metrics allow for substantial risk estimation early in nursing programs.
    • NCLEX review course participation was not a significant predictor of success.

    Conclusions:

    • Academic performance indicators are strong predictors of NCLEX success.
    • Early identification of at-risk nursing students is feasible using academic data.
    • Formal review courses do not significantly influence NCLEX outcomes.
