			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Association of American Medical Colleges states that “ The Medical College Admission Test (<span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://onlinenursinggraduate.com/mcat-medical-college-admission-test/">MCAT</a></span>) is a standardized, multiple-choice examination designed to assess the examinee&#8217;s problem solving, critical thinking, writing skills, and knowledge of science concepts and principles prerequisite to the study of medicine. Scores are reported in Verbal Reasoning, Physical Sciences, Writing Sample, and Biological Sciences. Medical colleges consider MCAT exam scores as part of their admission process.”</p>
<p>It’s well-known fact that almost all of US medical schools require applicants to submit scores of test- MCAT exam. It’s important that many schools don’t accept MCAT exam scores that are more than three years old.</p>
<p>You should be prepared to provide personal identification in the form of a current valid government-issued ID containing an expiration date, your photo, and signature (e.g., driver&#8217;s license or passport) in which the name matches that of your registration exactly. The Test Center Administrator will admit only those examinees who can be positively identified through qualifying forms of identification.</p>
<p>The Association of American Medical Colleges, which handles MCAT administration, zealously guards the contents of the test. The Association has released some practice tests and sample questions, but test takers are not allowed to disclose the contents of the tests they take. Study guides and classes to help people prepare for the MCAT exam, therefore, must rely on familiarizing test takers with the kind of content they will be expected to know, rather than providing people with actual questions from real MCAT exams.</p>
<p><img title="Hiding behind her MCAT book." src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3558/3361464300_a4facddbab_m.jpg" alt="Hiding behind her MCAT book." hspace="6" width="240" height="160" align="right" />The Medical College Admissions Test includes four sections, which taken over the course of around five hours. Students have to answer multiple choice questions in verbal reasoning, biological sciences, and physical sciences, and they complete writing samples for the fourth section. The MCAT exam is administered on a computer in a testing center, with most testing centers offering numerous available dates for students to choose from if they want to take the test.</p>
<p>The multiple choice sections are scored from 1 to 15, while the writing sample is scored from J to T. Scores take several weeks to report, and students can request rescoring if they feel that the scores are erroneous.</p>
<p>Test takers also have the right to void the exam on the day of the test. People may opt to void if they feel that they have not performed adequately on the exam and they do not want their tests scored and reported.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>National Council of State Boards of Nursing states that the <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://onlinenursinggraduate.com/nclex-exam/">NCLEX</a></span> (<strong>N</strong>ational <strong>C</strong>ouncil <strong>L</strong>icensure <strong>EX</strong>amination) covers the enumerated &#8220;categories of client needs&#8221;:</p>
<div style="padding-left:30px;"><strong>•    Safe, Effective Care Environment </strong><br />
- Management of Care<br />
- Safety and Infection Control<br />
<strong>•    Health Promotion and Maintenance </strong><br />
- Growth and Development Through the Life Span<br />
- Prevention and Early Detection of Disease<br />
<strong>•    Physiological Integrity </strong><br />
- Basic Care and Comfort<br />
- Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies<br />
- Reduction of Risk Potential<br />
- Physiological Adaptation<br />
<strong>•    Psychosocial Integrity </strong><br />
- Coping and Adaptation<br />
- Psychosocial Adaptation</div>
<p>If you want to take the NCLEX exam, you have to apply for nursing license from your state board of nursing. Your board will evaluate whether or not you meet its criteria for NCLEX examination. If you are credible, then you must register to take the exam.</p>
<p>You will receive an NCLEX Examination Candidate Bulletin in the mail after you have applied for a license from your state board of nursing. Then You may register with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing&#8217;s testing service by phone, or by filling out a mail-in registration form. After your state board of nursing has verified your eligibility to take the NCLEX exam, you will receive an ATT(Authorization to Take the Test). It will come along with a list of testing centers and instructions for how to schedule an appointment to take the examination.</p>
<p>The NCLEX exam is a quite difficult multiple choice exam which uses an interactive system called CAT (Computerized Adaptive Testing) to gauge your level of competence.Registered nurses candidates will answer a minimum of seventy five questions, <span class='bm_keywordlink'><a href="http://onlinenursinggraduate.com/license-practical-nursing-lpn/">LPN</a></span> candidates a minimum of eighty five questions. After you have answered the minimum number of questions, the computer will attempt to access your level of competence.</p>
<p>You will have five hours in which to complete the exam. This includes the time set aside for the introductory computer tutorial and for two 10-minute breaks. The NCLEX examination is scored once by the computer on which you are taking it, and a second time by the National Council&#8217;s testing service. It will take about a month for your state board of nursing to mail you the results of your exam.</p>
<p>If you fail the test, your state board of nursing will mail you a diagnostic profile that will outline both the areas of knowledge in which your performance was satisfactory and the areas in which it was not.</p>
<p>Of course, you can retake the test as many times as you need to. But The National Council&#8217;s policy states that you have to wait at least 91 days before retaking the test. Individual state boards may impose other, stricter requirements.</p>
