 Welcome to nursing school explain in this video on next-generation NCLEX computer adaptive testing And one really determines whether you're going to pass or not pass the exam So computer adaptive testing means that the computer knows the item difficulty and takes the difficulty of that item of that question into consideration and You also get partial credit for answers that are incomplete So those select all that apply questions might give you partial credit although you don't have all that are correct correct on that item and When we talk about that it accounts for item difficulty So if you answer ten of the hardest questions, you might need three or four To answer correctly in order to pass but then of the easiest questions you might need all ten in order to pass And so there's a graph here that I've drawn out So we have this line that determines pass and not pass and then this red line here is the Inclix passing standard So it's been determined if you are getting enough points to be above that line you pass the Inclix if you are below You're not going to pass and then the item difficulty or this computer adaptive testing means That you have a standard four-point question. So this question is some Easier medium ability question. That's worth four points So you get all four points you score way over here And if you get three points, you're still in the passing section, but more towards that teetering line If you're going to get two points This is a not pass and if you get one point only on this four-point question Then you're definitely more on the not passing side But if the question now is harder so it is determined that this is a harder question You've been doing well and it's been giving you harder questions If you only get one point out of the four points, right then you're in the not passing section But you are really close to that standard line if you get two points You're passing if you get three points you even more on this continuum And if you get four points you are way over here So the item difficulty will determine what side of this pass and non pass side that you will be on and give you points depending on the difficulty of the question and that the so When you're over here in this passing side enough time and we go over this here in a moment Then it's determined that you actually pass the exact exam so for The next channel and collects you're going to get a minimum of 85 questions and a maximum of a hundred and fifty or Five-hour time frame so what determines passing and not passing so the computer adaptive testing stops When it is 95% sure that you above or below the standard So when you've been over here more than than below Then it then you're passing or if you are 95% sure that you're below the standard then you're not going to pass If you're right at the passing standard So you do well on some of the items and some not you kind of right teetering right above and below This the standard then you are not they're not a hundred percent or 95% sure you're going to pass or you're going to not pass then the 95% rule is disregarded and you're going to continue to get questions until the maximum time has reached and Then they are going to consider only your final ability Estimation if you're above in these final questions, you're going to pass if you're below you're not going to pass In case you run out of time, which means you meet that five-hour maximum here Before you're running out of time before you the maximum number of questions is reached. That's a one opportunity and Also one possibility and also if it's not determined with 95% certainty if you're passing or failing then you're going to run out of time So if you're teetering here and they are still not sure and now you're meeting that five-hour minimum Then they're going to use this alternate criteria So if you haven't answered the minimum questions of 85, you're not going to pass because that's the minimum that they've determined you need to To answer in order to pass and the other alternative question is if the minimum question The minimum number of questions has been answered Then the pass fail is determined by all the responses before the time expires and again That means have you been more on the passing or more on the non-passing side? And then at that time that the time runs out that will determine passing or not passing so in general this computer adaptive testing is actually really good because the better you do the harder questions you get and partial credit gives you more points for The harder questions than the standard or easier questions And so really don't fret over it. It's just a little bit of an explanation about how it works And they just want to determine that you're going to be a safe entry level nurse So if you do all your in-clicks practice questions, you prepare yourself for all the different questions that are out there Which is new in the case studies here in particular and I have a separate video that goes over these case studies Then you're going to pass this in-clicks exam. You've prepared yourself You've been going to school with all your prerequisites. You've been in school two three four years You know their stuff. Don't fret over the technicalities. Just go out take the exam Prepare yourself going confidently and you're going to pass. Thanks for watching nursing school explain. See you soon
