RN难度标准设定的原理


关于RN难度标准设定的数学原理

1. What percentage must I answer correctly to pass the NCLEX?Unlike standard nursing school exams, there is no grade on the NCLEX. The exam is set up so that both passers and failers tend to score around 50%. If a student begins scoring above 50%, the questions become harder. If the candidate's percentage begins to slip below 50%, the questions get easier. What determines pass/fail is the level of difficulty where the student is hitting the 50% mark. In fact, this is one of the reasons why students find the exam so overwhelming. We aren't used to getting 50's on exams.
