Testing Procedure
During the
examination, RN candidates will be administered between 75 and 265 questions. It is possible
to pass the test by taking only
the minimum number of questions, but not likely. For
most candidates, an average number of questions will be asked
as the computer tried to approximate your ability by offering question of increasing
or decreasing difficulty. Once it has statistically approximated
your ability, it will shut off, having determined whether you have passed or failed the test. The state board will contact you with the test scores.
The computer
is programmed to offer a harder question if you answer the
previous question correctly. On the other hand, it will offer an easier
question if you answer the previous
question incorrectly.
Key Point
The most critical questions are the first
20-30. If you answer these questions correctly the computer will give
you the most credit.
*** Don’t panic
if the person next to you finishes quicker and takes less total questions.
A maximum time limit of 6 hours
is available.
