Adaptive, personalized, and aligned to today's NCLEX

NCLEX success requires more than practice alone. Students need personalized support that helps them focus their study efforts on what matters most.

Always aligned to the current NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN Test Plans, PassPoint uses adaptive learning technology to identify knowledge gaps, deliver targeted remediation, and help students achieve mastery. Students benefit from unlimited NCLEX-style practice exams and PrepU mastery-level quizzes while faculty gain actionable performance insights that help identify at-risk students early to provide timely support.

PassPoint helps students and faculty:

  • Identify knowledge gaps through adaptive quizzing and personalized learning paths.
  • Strengthen clinical judgment with NCLEX-style questions and case-based practice.
  • Build exam readiness with unlimited quizzing that builds endurance in a low-stakes environment.
  • Support student success with questions that link directly to remediation in Lippincott® Advisor and Lippincott® Procedures — trusted clinical resources used by practicing nurses.

Build confidence and endurance

Generally, when students are fully prepared, they go into exams with greater confidence and less stress. Unlimited quizzes and practice exams also build essential endurance for the NCLEX exam.

Help reverse falling NCLEX pass rates

NCLEX pass rates dropped in 2021, from 88% to 79% for BSN programs and 82% to 65% for Associate programs. Students using PassPoint have first-time pass rates 8% higher than national averages.

Demonstrate clinical judgment

Nursing graduates must be competent nurses ready for practice after passing the NCLEX. PassPoint guides students to apply their knowledge, think critically, and make evidence-based decisions.

Transform NCLEX® preparation with Lippincott PassPoint

By blending trusted content with time-tested technology, Lippincott connects nursing education with today's nursing transformation. PassPoint meets students at the final step of their nursing education as they focus on NCLEX preparation.

Become familiar with exam measurement

Assign adaptive comprehensive exams across a mix of client needs, nursing concepts, and activity statements with NCLEX-style item types. Students practice with cases across the clinical judgment measurement model and are challenged to make decisions based on the data provided.

Prepare students for success beyond the classroom

Prepare students to succeed in practice settings through exposure to real-world competencies and procedures. Case studies challenge students to demonstrate that they can apply their knowledge to make solid, evidence-based decisions.

Access for learning, not evalution

Unlike other NCLEX prep solutions, PassPoint uses the learning strategy of retrieval practice, or testing to learn. PassPoint is a measurement tool to reflect learning and rebuild knowledge lost in the intensity of nursing school.

Learn with the latest evidence-based content

With thousands of questions, PassPoint includes more evidence-based content than any other product. PassPoint links directly to content from Lippincott® Procedures and Lippincott® Advisor, giving students access to clinical decision support tools used in practice and step-by-step instructions for clinical skills and competencies.

Boost knowledge retention

Recommend spaced learning and just-in-time remediation to help students master topics while consolidating information into long-term memory. With PassPoint, instructors can create question collections by nursing topics, client needs, nursing concepts, or other filters, then assign adaptive quizzes and exams.

Identify student knowledge gaps

Assign a Mastery Level in an adaptive exam and identify class-wide knowledge gaps so you can facilitate just-in-time remediation. Ensure individual students receive remediation links to practice-quality tools and evidence-based content to correct misunderstandings and reroute wrong conclusions to correct ones.

Customizable question collections for quizzes and exams

Guide NCLEX preparation by building unlimited exams for your students by choosing — and incorporating — NCLEX-style items for a realistic NCLEX rehearsal. Adaptive quizzing fills the learning gaps from the exam results.

Authentic NCLEX-style case studies

Prescribe a 6-part case study series to help students practice analyzing cues, prioritizing, taking action, and evaluating outcomes — all the skills that make up clinical judgment. Students practice critical thinking via patient scenarios that evolve over time. PassPoint’s practice exams adjust difficulty with each question, depending on students’ answers.

Evidence-based content and just-in-time remediation

Answer keys within PassPoint remediate to evidence-based, point-of-care content in Lippincott® Advisor and Lippincott® Procedures the moment students don’t understand something. This detailed feedback explains why answers are correct or incorrect, helping students master topics and avoid retaining incorrect knowledge.

Low-stakes practice for a high-stakes exam

In PassPoint, students can practice through instructor-assigned exams or create their own question collections, quiz, or exam length to practice unlimited ways. Students can also use spaced learning to improve retention while demonstrating true understanding.

We wanted a more active learning model that bridges clinical and classroom… Using the Lippincott nursing education suite, our NCLEX pass rates rose from 75% to 92% [as of 2020]. And we’re giving students what they need in real-world practice.
