Elsevier Adaptive Quizzing (EAQ) for the NCLEX is a personalized quizzing platform that helps nursing students of all skill levels focus their study time and prepare for their licensure exam. It offers a bank of high-quality practice questions — all written, reviewed, and leveled by experienced nurse educators — through which students advance at their own pace across multiple mastery levels per chapter, topic, or concept, with detailed rationales and essential test-taking strategies included for every question.
EAQ includes Next-Generation NCLEX (NGN) exam-style items with authentic NGN scoring at fidelity, giving students vital hands-on experience with the question formats and clinical judgment demands of the current NCLEX test plan. This NGN preparation is integrated throughout the adaptive quizzing experience rather than offered as a separate module, helping students build clinical judgment skills as a natural part of their ongoing study practice.
EAQ's comprehensive educator dashboard gives faculty access to usage and performance summaries at both the individual student and class level, enabling them to identify areas of strength and weakness, detect content misconceptions driving poor performance, and quickly intervene with students who are struggling. This data-driven approach allows faculty to modify lecture content based on what the quizzing data reveals, rather than relying on summative exam results alone.
Faculty use of EAQ alongside HESI assessments has been shown to drive a 32% increase in NCLEX pass rates at one institution, and consistently high NCLEX pass rates at others. At Connors State, faculty report that adaptive quizzing was "definitely worth it" for sharpening students' clinical judgment skills — and the platform's ability to personalize questions based on individual performance levels means students spend time on the content where they need it most, rather than reviewing material they have already mastered.
EAQ integrates seamlessly into nursing courses as both an instructor-assigned tool and a self-directed study resource. Faculty can assign pre-class quizzes to prepare students for upcoming topics, create gradable custom assignments across a wide range of subject areas, and use performance data to inform teaching decisions. Students can also self-quiz outside of assignments to reinforce key concepts on their own schedule, making EAQ flexible enough to support both structured coursework and independent exam preparation.
Boost student engagement and enhance learning outcomes with adaptive quizzing for NCLEX.
