Question 1
,A practical nursing student is preparing to take the NCLEX-PN
examination. Which statement by the student indicates an
understanding of computer adaptive testing (CAT)?
A. “Each candidate receives the same set of examination
questions.”
B. “The examination adjusts the difficulty of questions based on
my responses.”
C. “The examination ends only after all questions are
answered.”
D. “Questions are grouped according to body systems.”
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Computer adaptive testing adjusts the difficulty level of
questions based on the candidate’s responses to previous
questions. This allows the examination to determine
competency efficiently. Choice A is incorrect because
candidates do not receive identical questions. Choice C is
incorrect because the test can end when competency is
determined. Choice D is incorrect because questions are not
organized by body systems.

is more important than memorization alone. Choice D is
incorrect because regular practice questions are essential for
preparation.
