  • NCSBN NCLEX Examination Candidate Bulletin

    Site: nclex.com

    There will be three methods for scoring items for partial credit: plus/minus, zero/one, and rationale scoring. The NCLEX is designed to test knowledge, skills, and abilities essential to the safe and effective practice of nursing at the entry level. Both the NCLEX-RN® and the NCLEX-PN®* are variable-length, computerized, adaptive tests. The NCLEX is not offered in paper-and-pencil or oral examination formats. The NCLEX-RN and the NCLEX-PN can be anywhere from 85 to 150 items. Regardless of the number of items administered, the time limit for this examination is five hours.
