Reflecting on examination performance can improve student learning. However, faculty may be hesitant to return examinations due to concerns for test security. Exam wrappers are a metacognitive tool that can be used with exam reviews to improve reflection on examinations. This session will describe the implementation of exam wrappers within an integrated course series in a Doctor of Pharmacy Program. Participants will learn the benefits and challenges of exam wrappers and determine how to implement exam wrappers within their program.
