EC tests and the NCLEX

OK, maybe it was mentioned before somewhere but are the EC exams scored like the NCLEX. For instance, do they throw some dummy questions ar you that aren't scored? Can it be determined that you pass the test even before finishing? If you get a hard question wrong, do they throw a easier one at you next?

Just curious, going for my test soon want to know. Once again guys thanks for all your opinions, you guys are always there (just can't see you).

The exams do use unscored questions (in order to determine if those questions are suitable to serve as scored questions) but the EC exams are not adaptive. In other words, the questions do not change depending on your previous answers. Once you open the EC exam, all of the questions are there and you can skip back and forth among them as you like. This isn't possible using the computerized adaptive testing (CAT) format of the NCLEX.

Here's the guide for everything you always wanted to know about EC exams:
