Avis important: La vidéo sur l’examen adaptatif informatisé sera bientôt mise à jour pour refléter les changements dans la conception du NCLEX à compter du 1er octobre 2020. NCSBN laisse cette version de la vidéo disponible pour fournir des informations sur l’examen adaptatif informatisé. Cependant, à cause de cela, il y a quelques incohérences vers la fin de la vidéo liées à la conception de l’examen qui ne sont plus correctes.

Voici une liste de ce qui changera le 1er octobre et les nouvelles informations mises à jour :

1. Le nombre minimum d'items pour les examens NCLEX-RN et NCLEX-PN est de 75 au lieu de 75 et 85 respectivement.
2. Le nombre maximum d'items pour les examens NCLEX-RN et NCLEX-PN est de 145 au lieu de 265 et 205.
3. La durée totale pour les examens NCLEX-RN et NCLEX-PN sera de cinq heures au lieu de six et cinq, respectivement.
4. Lorsqu'un candidat n’a pas eu suffisamment de temps pour atteindre le nombre maximum, l'estimation finale des capacités est calculée à partir de toutes les réponses sur tous les éléments complétés à l'examen. S'il est au-dessus de la note de passage à celle-ci, c'est une réussite ; sinon, l'examen sera un échec.

NCSBN est heureux de produire une nouvelle vidéo sur l’examen adaptatif informatise qui sera bientôt publiée. Pour une liste complète des modifications apportées à l'examen, consultez le document ici.
