Abstract
Nursing faculty look for ways to promote the retention of content so that students can build on that content and apply it to nursing practice. A study was designed to determine differences in content retention between testing collaboratively, which involves students taking an exam collectively within a small group, using an individual notecard, and including written rationale for test answers during collaborative testing. Students who tested collaboratively had significantly higher long-term content retention than students who tested with the other methods.
