CAT is used for the NCLEX because it: Reduces the number of "easy" items that high-ability candidates receive; "easy" items tell little about a high performing candidate's ability Reduces the number of "difficult" items low-ability candidates receive; candidates tend to guess on items that are too difficult which can skew results Reduces item exposure and subsequent security risks Improves precision of measurement of the NCLEX candidate's ability related to nursing and Provides a valid and reliable measurement of nursing competence.
Therefore, an alternate rule must be used: If the candidate has not answered the minimum number of items, the result will be a failing exam. As a candidate takes the examination, items are selected based on the candidate's response to previous items. The NCLEX is designed as a screening tool used to identify candidates that can demonstrate that their nursing ability is sufficient to be competent in practice.
Providing more detailed feedback for candidates who fail is done in an attempt to help the candidate direct their remediation strategies. Providing feedback to people who do not need remediation serves no purpose and could be misused by candidates or employers in making employment decisions.
