Am I ready for CNE exam??

[NYS06080729]

I jus took the self assessment test provided by the NLN.

I got 71%. I do not know the passing score.

Is there any one who knows the passing score of the CNE exam?

Is 71% on the self assessment test ok???

I am getting so nervous about the test. I read review books and have practice questions.

I do not know if I can prepare for this test any differently.

I would appreciate any advises.

I wish I could remember what I got on the self-assessment, but it was over a year ago. I'll tell you that I passed the exam without any faculty experience (now I am an adjunct but at the time I wasn't). I didn't think the exam was too bad, but I tend to do okay on tests.

I remember looking at a detailed test blueprint on the website and then taking the self-assessment. After that, I knew there were some areas that I should go back and study. For example, I knew from the blueprint that there would be some item analysis questions and we had discussed that only briefly in my master's program. I still had access to a lot of my grad school textbooks, so that helped.

As I understand it, there's no set minimum score on the actual exam because there are multiple versions of the exam in circulation at any one time, so it's a fancy psychometric calculation that determines the passing score for that test form.

Good luck to you!
