Review synthesis of McClure's (2024) quantitative cohort comparison (n = 181 across two cohorts) finding "in-person proctored cohorts achieved significantly higher HESI scores and NCLEX readiness than those using remote proctoring"; no effect size is printed.
"McClure (2024) found that in-person proctored cohorts achieved significantly higher HESI scores and NCLEX readiness than those using remote proctoring, suggesting that remote modalities may alter testing conditions or negatively impact results."
