WICOR (Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading)

WICOR has been shown to be best practices in improving success in higher education. We will utilize this method to organize our plan for success.

The first thing is to Inquire, Why did I not pass the exam? to identify the reasons for not passing the exam.

Based on review of the Diagnostic Grid, there are typically 3 reasons that students fail an exam.

Tab 3 - How to Remediate

Students should go back to the content from class, the readings in the textbooks and/or reviewing the PowerPoints over the concepts you missed- before creating a Kaplan Review Test.
Students earning <75% on an exam will need to remediate by going to Kaplan, Focused Reviews
- Create a Test
- Pull the topics of the questions from the areas you missed on the exam. They will not match up exactly, but you will be able to choose topics and the numbers of questions you want to take.
- Complete at least 20 questions
- Score 80% or higher for the remediation to count.
The remediation is due one week from the date the exam was taken.
Please send a screenshot (click analysis) or take a picture and send it through Canvas of your remediation score (80% or higher) to your assigned student success coach (faculty)

Remediation is your opportunity to review and cement your learning of the content, so that you will be performing competently in your clinical rotations and will know the information for the final and for NCLEX. All students should do this to fill the gaps of knowledge but those scoring < 75% are required to do this.
Students that do not complete the remediation or turn it in on time will not be allowed to take the next scheduled Exam with the class and will activate the missed exam policy.
Now go back to the How the Pathway Works tab to complete part 2 of the Ticket to Test, exam preparation.
