In other words, the difficulty of the test is tailored to a candidate’s level of knowledge. With each answer given, the computer re-estimates a candidate’s ability based on the answer given and the difficulty of the question asked. Conversely, when a candidate answers an item with an intermediate level of difficulty correctly, the computer will next present an item of increased difficulty - an item that the candidate should have a 50% chance of answering correctly. If the candidate answers incorrectly, an item of similar difficulty or lesser difficulty will be presented. This is because the computer has no knowledge of a candidate’s knowledge prior to the exam. The first item on the test will generally be one of intermediate difficulty. Items are not random items are selected in response to the candidate’s previous answers.
The item selection algorithm is designed for maximum efficiency. The NCLEX is a computer adaptive test (CAT) that presents items based on the candidate’s ability level.
