  • 1.  I took my test today…

    Posted 03-06-2024 03:35 PM

    I passed!!  
    It was a hard test!  Questioned the outcome the whole way. I don't fully understand the score but read that each question is scaled. Do we get more detail in areas to look at and what the scale was with the questions we were given?

    I used the review book and the textbook for more detail. I listened to the e-learning about 3 times through with my long commute. The notes pages from that were helpful too to focus towards the end. I also took the 2 practice test and any questions I could find!  

    Thanks for the study group and guidance through my process!

    Good to those testing soon!

    I have an hour commute each way.  This is the link to the Nurse Builders e-course from Janice Selekman (the auther of the review and textbook).  I would open it up and leave it open as I drove to listen.  It was worth the cost for me because I knew that I needed to make use of my drive time with studying.  The pdf from the course was helpful as well.

    Hope you find this helpful as well!

    Congratulations to all!  As far as the official notification, you will receive a message that will allow you to access your exam information from PSI, the testing vendor. Unsuccessful candidates will get a general breakdown by domain of areas where they did well and areas to work on. 

    The scores are scaled based on psychometric processes applied to the weighting of questions, which then leads to a determination of the cut or passing score. This ensures that there is equity across exam forms and exam windows.
