How can I interpret my NCLEX® results?
National Council Licening Examination as NCLEX-PN® for practical nurses and NCLEX-RN® for registered nurses-the nursing examination needed to become a licensed nurse in the US. These tests are carelessly known as nursing board nursing plates , which are carried out by the National Council of the State Nursing Council (NCSBN®) through the secondary company Pearson Vue, which owns, updates and manages special computer tests. After the nurse sits for her nursing plates in the Pearson Vue test site, NCLEX® will receive their results by NCSBN. Initial interpretation of NCLEX® results is not difficult, because the test TAKer is informed in bold font in the first sentence of a bilateral letter, whether it passed the exam. A more detailed interpretation of the NCLEX® test agent results can be performed with other NCSBN information provided that the student undonchang is the special nature of the NCLEX® test.
Initially, the student can interpret his / her results NCLEX® as a passage or failure, as shown in the first sentence of the test result. The NCLEX® computer test is unique for each tested with different questions asked for different students. The length of the test - from at least 75 questions to a maximum of 265 - even differs according to individual students and their test answers. According to Pearson Vue, the student is asked the question that she has a 50 % chance to answer correctly. If he answers the question correctly, the computer responds with a more difficult question; If an incorrect answer is provided, the computer will ask the student a simpler question.
After asking at least 75 questions of the test, the computer terminates the test, the farmer has demonstrably passed or clearly failed to pass. If more questions are needed to determine whether a student has passed the test, the computer will continue to ask questions up to a maximum of 265.The exact number of questions that have been asked by the student is again bold. The lower the number of questions, the more clearly - and quickly - the student clearly demonstrated the score lower or better than the standard.
The NCLEX® letter also contains information about the success or failure of the student in various areas of the test. The test categories are listed on the second page and the results of the students are listed below, close or above the standard of the standard. If a student has failed, this area can help identify specific subjects of study to deal with nursing plates.
