NCSBN ensures the fair and secure delivery of the REx-PN by administering the exam under strict supervision and security measures. The first part of this session will highlight the security measures NCSBN has in place for the REx-PN, including incidents that occur at testing centers as well as our confidentiality agreement with students. During the second part of this session, you will learn about the testing accommodation process, including the roles of the candidate, NCSBN, Pearson Vue and nursing regulatory bodies.

The REx-PN uses CAT and psychometric theory coupled with computer-driven administration to produce a psychometrically sound, standardized exam for measuring the minimal competency required to practice safe, entry-level nursing. 

Ever wonder how REx-PN items are developed? This session will explain the processes and steps every REx-PN item goes through before it can be used on the REx-PN. Opportunities for educator involvement will also be highlighted. 

Standard setting is a process used by testing professionals to determine the passing score on a test. It is an important step in establishing the validity and legal defensibility of an exam program. The REx-PN exam will evaluate the passing standard every five years. During this session, NCSBN staff will discuss steps involved in setting the REx-PN standard.

Practice analysis studies assist in evaluating the validity of the test plan, which guides the content distribution of the REx-PN. This presentation will provide an overview of the evidence-based methodology NCSBN uses to determine what content should appear on the REx-PN exam.

We will explore the candidate registration process as well as the online resources NCSBN has available to educators and students. This session will highlight what candidates should expect before, during and after the exam.

Are you wondering how NCSBN ensures fairness for all groups taking the REx-PN examination? Will candidates with comparable nursing knowledge perform similarly on exam items, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, or other factors irrelevant to nursing practice? This session will describe how Sensitivity and Differential Item Functioning (DIF) panels contribute to the fairness and legal defensibility of an exam.
