HELP

Published

I am taking the exam in September, I am practicing questions everyday, I know the test is computer adaptive test, the computer would give u questions according to my performance. but it is impossible for me to answer every question right. so at least how many percent do i need to get from the questions computer gives to me to pass the test?

It isn't a case of getting every question right as some are test questions and some are lower level etc. I suggest a good read on the NCSBN website

Instead of worrying about how many questions you need to answer correctly in order to just make it, you should worry about learning the material well enough to reach passing criteria. The Board that issues you a license has minimum expectations that the CAT is expected to test for. If you study sufficiently, you should be able to meet those minimum expectations.

Can you elaborate more on that silverdragon?

If you get a question right they keep getting harder until you get it wrong and then it drops down to a easy question. It is worked out that you will get about 50% right or wrong but the level of the question i.e higher or lower level will determine pass or fail. This is my understanding and reading the NCSBN website
