,Question 1
A practical nursing student is preparing to take the NCLEX-PN
examination. Which statement by the student indicates correct
understanding of computer adaptive testing (CAT)?
A. “Every candidate receives the same number of questions.”
B. “The examination becomes easier if I answer questions
incorrectly.”
C. “The computer selects questions based on my previous
responses.”
D. “Questions may be skipped and answered later in the
examination.”
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Computer adaptive testing selects each question based on the
candidate’s response to the previous item. The difficulty level
adjusts according to performance. Candidates do not all receive
the same number of questions, and questions cannot be
skipped or returned to later. The exam does not intentionally
become easier; it adapts to determine competence.
