  • Transcript_2021NCLEX_QA1.pdf

    There is a Special Research Section for NGN on all RN exams and all PN exams now. That was launched back in October of 2020 for the PNs and that has been ongoing. Some of the language, as far as how the question is asked, is different as far as it's the same as what you see on NCLEX. So, the scope of practice for a PN is different than the scope of practice for the RN, and that is reflected within the exam. - Okay.

    Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine whether the innovative items are similar to MCQs in terms of their item statistical characteristics. Methodology To approach the issue of model-data fit, large datasets that are available from ongoing pretesting of the alternate (innovative) item types are used in this study. Two experi- mental datasets were used for NCLEX-RN from two testing periods in 2005. Each dataset included a combina- tion of MCQ and innovative item types. The NCLEX-RN examination is a variable length CAT examination. Each registered nurse (RN) examinee receives 15 pretest items in a CAT examination that may range from a total of 75 to 265 items in length.

  • Examining Changes in Item Difficulty Estimates Across Years for a High Stakes Licensure CAT

    Item development issues such as item writing, reviews, validations, and most administrative procedures are also very similar, if not altogether equivalent. In the spring of 1994 the NCLEX-RN® and NCLEX-PN® exams were converted from a traditional 300-item paper and pencil exam that had been administered on specific dates each year to a variable length computer adaptive exam (75 to 265 items for RN, and 85 to 205 items for PN, including pretests) that is administered continuously throughout the year at many testing sites across the U.S. and its territories.

  • JRC Project Proposal:

    The distribution of simulated test takers was set to match that of the spring 2003 NCLEX-RN sample. Field-test items were simulated to mimic the distribution of difficulty in the -5- operational item pools. To simplify the simulation, tests were fixed at 75 items in length. Calibration sample size. Three sample sizes were used as the point at which to calibrate the field-test items, as follows: • 400 -- In this condition, an item received its final calibration after it had been ...

  • EPIDIOLEX (cannabidiol) oral solution

    In a human abuse potential study, acute administration of cannabidiol to non-dependent adult recreational drug users at therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses of 750, 1500, and 4500 mg in the fasted state (equivalent respectively to 10, 20, and 60 mg/kg in a 75 kg adult) produced responses on positive subjective measures such as Drug Liking and Take Drug Again that were within the acceptable placebo range. In contrast, 10 and 30 mg of dronabinol (synthetic THC, Schedule III) and 2 mg alprazolam (Schedule IV) produced large increases on positive subjective measures compared to placebo that were statistically significantly greater than those produced by cannabidiol.
