Mountain Measurement, Inc., Pearson VUE, and The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) are pleased to announce that the first Quarterly Edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports is now available for purchase. The 2017 Q1 Edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports contains the same information that is provided in both the Annual and Semi-Annual Editions of the NCLEX® Program Reports. However, as the name implies, the reporting period for this edition will be three (3) months long, covering first-time graduates testing from January 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017. Quarterly Supplemental CSV files are also available for purchase. For more information about the NCLEX® Program Reports editions and the Supplemental CSV Files, check out the Editions page of the NCLEX® Program Reports website.
The 2017 Q1 Edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports, is a special promotional edition and is scheduled to be published on May 15, 2017 for US programs and May 19, 2017 for Canadian programs. This special edition will allow programs to monitor their performance on a calendar year basis beginning in 2017 and is available as a stand alone product. The 2017 Q1 Edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports costs $175.00 RN/$112.50 PN, and the associated Supplemental CSV Files cost $37.50 RN/$25.00 PN. To purchase the 2017 Q1 Edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports, please visit the new Order Reports page of the NCLEX® Program Reports website.
The Quarterly Editions of the NCLEX® Program Reports for the 2017-2018 Reporting Year will be available for purchase in May, 2017 when all of the editions of the 2017-2018 NCLEX® Program Reports become available for purchase.
As with the other editions of the NCLEX® Program Reports, to maximize the utility of the information provided by the Quarterly Editions, programs must have at least 10 graduates complete the NCLEX® Examination during the reporting period. Programs interested in solely the number of graduates testing and the passing rate will find this information in all editions of the NCLEX® Program Reports regardless of the number of graduates testing during the reporting period.
Programs should exercise caution when interpreting the information contained in the Quarterly Editions of the NCLEX® Program Reports. For instance, programs are discouraged from analyzing performance across the quarters within a single year since there is variation in the performance of the comparison groups by quarter. For example, 2017 Q1 performance should not be compared to 2017 Q2 performance. Rather, longitudinal performance can be evaluated within the same quarter across years. For example, 2017 Q1 performance can be compared to 2018 Q1 performance.
If you have any questions about these changes, we encourage you to contact the NCLEX® Program Reports Support Center.
Mountain Measurement, Inc., Pearson VUE, and The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) are pleased to announce the availability of Quarterly Editions of the NCLEX® Program Reports. Quarterly Editions of the Reports will contain the same information that is provided in both the Annual and Semi-Annual Editions. However, as the name implies, the reporting period for each Quarterly Report will be only three (3) months. Quarterly Supplemental CSV files will also be available. Programs that graduate at least 10 students in any quarter will find the applicable Quarterly Editions useful while those programs that graduate at least 10 students in all four quarters of the year will find the suite of four Quarterly Editions most helpful.
We are also excited to inform you of a change in the way in which the Program Reports are packaged. Programs will now have the opportunity to purchase individual editions of the NCLEX® Program Reports rather than subscriptions to the NCLEX® Program Reports as they have done in the past. Despite this added flexibility, participating programs will be required to purchase at least two editions during the Reporting Year (April 1 - March 31). For example, programs can now purchase a Fall and an Annual Edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports, rather than having to choose between a Semi-Annual or an Annual subscription to the NCLEX® Program Reports. The cost per Report and per set of Supplemental CSV files has not changed ($175.00 RN/$112.50 PN per Report and $37.50 RN/$25.00 PN per set of Supplemental CSV files).
In order to accommodate the changes mentioned above, Mountain Measurement, Inc. has been busy making modifications to the NCLEX® Program Reports website. You will be notified via email when these changes have been completed. Until that time, you will still be able to access, order, pay for, and download the NCLEX® Program Reports. However, you will not be able to order Quarterly Editions of the NCLEX® Program Reports until the website modifications have been made. We anticipate that the website will be ready March 15, 2017.
On March 15, 2017, programs will be able to begin ordering the first Quarterly Edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports. This edition, the 2017 Q1 Edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports, covering candidates testing between January 1 and March 31, 2017, will be a special promotional edition and may be purchased without any other Program Reports pertaining to the 2016-2017 reporting year. This special edition will allow programs wishing to track their students on a calendar year basis to begin with 2017. The 2017 Q1 Edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports is scheduled to be published on May 15, 2017 for US programs and May 19, 2017 for Canadian programs. Subsequent Quarterly Editions of the NCLEX® Program Reports will be available for purchase in May, 2017 when all of the editions of the 2017-2018 NCLEX® Program Reports become available for purchase.
If you have any questions about these changes, we encourage you to contact the NCLEX® Program Reports Support Center.
