Level of priority questions?

[danguy1]

I JUST took my nclex and my last five questions were priority questions. I *know* that your last question (or even if you get right or wrong) isn't an absolute indicator of whether you passed or not. I took my test for california so I have to wait a while for my results. But, does anyone know if priority questions are "passing" level questions? Thank you. :)

Only those who are experts in Bloom's taxonomy can answer that questions. All question types & subjects have higher and lower cognitive level questions and all subjects/question types have questions above, at, and below the passing standard. Your question is impossible to answer without being an expert in educational & testing pedagogy.

***some one close to me has been deemed expert level in their specialty to write NCLEX questions. This person was only considered because they are an BSN, MSN, RN and CNE (certified nurse educator) with published research in their specialty area now moving forward towards their PhD in nursing education and research she will be able to write and review any NCLEX question. Quite a few of her grad & post grad work mirrored a sibling who has a MAT (masters of Art in teaching) and a colleague who specializes in educational assessment and testing. My sister or the PhD candidate might[\I] be able to tell you the cognitive of the question if they saw the full question. Just to give you a reference point as to how this is a specialized area)
