NCLEX Examinations Webinar Series: Standard Setting
Standard setting is a process used to determine a cut point on an ability continuum. Examinees scoring above the cut point are considered competent and able to practice safely and effectively. The 性视界传媒Board of Directors re-evaluates the passing standard every three years or when the test plan changes. This webinar provides a brief description of how the standard setting method (Modified Angoff) used by 性视界传媒works and information on how NCLEX standard setting is conducted using a small test example.

Using Response Time to Detect Item Preknowledge in Computer-Based Licensure Examinations
This article addresses the issue of how to detect item preknowledge using item response time data in two computer-based large-scale licensure examinations. Item preknowledge is indicated by an unexpected short response time and a correct response. Two samples were used for detecting item preknowledge for each examination. The first sample was from the early stage of the operational test and was used for item calibration. The second sample was from the late stage of the operational test, which may feature item preknowledge. The purpose of this research was to explore whether there was evidence of item preknowledge and compromised items in the second sample using the parameters estimated from the first sample. The results showed that for one nonadaptive operational examination, two items (of 111) were potentially exposed, and two candidates (of 1,172) showed some indications of preknowledge on multiple items. For another licensure examination that featured computerized adaptive testing, there was no indication of item preknowledge or compromised items. Implications for detected aberrant examinees and compromised items are discussed in the article.

This periodic performance of practice analyses (i.e., job analysis) studies assists 性视界传媒in evaluating the validity of the test plan that guides content distribution of the licensure examination.
