Welcome to the Testing Process at Galen.

Important Definitions:

GEAR: The examination review process, including item construction, exam preparation for administration, and review of item analysis (IA) data.
GEARS: The Galen item bank where all final, approved nursing unit exams are housed. Unit exams are printed from here, and student response results from Parscore are imported after exam administration.
Dropbox: A collaborative space for exam creation and review, interaction with colleagues, and the testing team. Exam drafts and blueprints are housed here.
Smartsheet: The platform for submitting your IA tool after each unit exam administration and finding IA meeting outcomes.
Faculty Tools: The resource for your class and exam schedule, student roster, instructor exam reports, and student exam reports.
