,Question 1
A practical nursing student is preparing to take the NCLEX-PN
examination. The student asks the instructor about the primary
purpose of computerized adaptive testing (CAT). Which
response by the instructor is correct?
A. “CAT allows every candidate to receive the same questions in
the same order.”
B. “CAT adjusts the difficulty of questions based on the
candidate’s responses.”
C. “CAT ensures that all candidates answer the maximum
number of questions.”
D. “CAT permits candidates to skip difficult questions and
return later.”
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Computerized adaptive testing adjusts question difficulty
according to the candidate’s performance, allowing the
examination to determine competency efficiently.
Option A is incorrect because candidates do not receive
identical questions.
Option C is incorrect because the number of questions varies
based on performance.
Option D is incorrect because NCLEX testing does not allow
skipping and returning to previous questions.
