,Question 1
A practical nursing student is preparing to take the NCLEX-PN

understanding of computer adaptive testing (CAT)?
A. “All candidates receive the same number of questions.”
B. “The examination adjusts question difficulty based on my
responses.”
C. “Questions become easier as the examination progresses.”
D. “Skipping difficult questions improves my final score.”
Correct Answer: B

while incorrect answers lead to easier questions.
Option A is incorrect because candidates may receive different
numbers of questions.
Option C is incorrect because question difficulty changes
according to performance, not time.
Option D is incorrect because questions cannot be skipped on
the NCLEX-PN examination.
