WGU Exam Help — OA, PA, Readiness & Course Assessments

Western Governors University (WGU) uses a competency-based education model with Objective Assessments (OA), Performance Assessments (PA), and Pre-Assessment (readiness) exams. WGU nursing students also take proctored exams via Examity. NurseQuizPrep provides targeted WGU nursing assessment prep.

WGU Nursing Program Exams

WGU's Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-to-BSN) and other nursing programs include multiple proctored assessments. These cover nursing fundamentals, health assessment, community health, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and research.

• OA (Objective Assessment): multiple-choice competency exam
• PA (Performance Assessment): written project or presentation
• Pre-Assessment: unproctored readiness check — take as many times as needed

WGU Assessment Strategy

WGU allows unlimited pre-assessment attempts — use them as diagnostic tools. Study guides, course materials, and Cohort Q&A sessions are key resources. Our specialists provide targeted content review for WGU nursing assessments.

• Pre-assessment: identify weak areas before attempting OA
• OA: one retake allowed if failed — prepare thoroughly before first attempt
• PA: follow the rubric exactly — each criterion must be met
