Your percentile rank (p-rank) will allow you to compare your QBank progress against the performance of others. This provides a relative assessment of where you stand compared to other nursing students studying for the NGN.

On the NCLEX, the computer calculates your ability level based on your cumulative performance and the difficulty level of the questions you have answered. The computer then selects questions it estimates you have a 50% probability of answering correctly. This means you have a 50/50 chance of answering each NCLEX question correctly.

Each practice test contains 100 unique practice questions that are not available in our NCLEX QBank. Upon completing an assessment, you will be able to review your performance by subject, system, and topic, or Client Needs category.

For the best results, we encourage you to take multiple assessments. This will build your test-taking endurance, show your improvement over time, get you acclimated to the NCLEX testing environment, and make the real exam feel like practice.

Yes! Over a million nurses have trusted us for their licensing exam preparation, and you can too.
Whether you are looking for videos, adaptive practice, predictor exams, or the best NCLEX-style practice questions on the market, we have everything you need to pass the first time.

It is a computer-based exam and a highly complex one. Each section of the exam is four hours long and candidates get a fifteen minute standardized break after the first Task-based Simulation (TBS) testlet. The goal for CPA candidates is to pass all four sections of the CPA Exam within 18 months.

CPA Exam scores are evaluated on a scale of 0 to 99 and to pass you must get a minimum of 75 points in every exam section. The CPA Exam is not scored based on percentages. For instance answering 75% of the questions on the exam correctly does not translate into a score of 75. Also, the score is not based on a curve either. Instead, your score reflects a weighted combination of scaled scores from multiple-choice and task-based simulations across the section. Scaled scores consider both correctness and question difficulty, with MCQ/TBS weighting varying slightly between sections.

The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) follows the Item Response Theory (IRT) for scoring. IRT is a known psychometric way for scoring used by many licensing and certification exams. If you fail any particular section of the exam, you will receive a candidate performance report to evaluate what went wrong in your performance. The report will help you improve and score better in your next attempt.

In order to get a passing score, you must perform well in all types of questions because of the pretesting questions and varying points assigned to each question based on difficulty, the exam will not let you get a passing score from one particular segment.

The CPA Exam presents two different types of questions - multiple choice questions (MCQs) and task-based simulations (TBSs), from which scoring is done. The scores from each of these segments are combined to get your overall score. Written Communication is no longer a part of the CPA Exam in 2024.

The CPA Exam includes pretested questions that do not count towards your overall CPA Exam score. Pretested questions are placed by the AICPA to evaluate if the questions should be used in future exams. The sole purpose of putting pretested questions in the exam is to collect data. Pretested questions are in each section of the CPA Exam. These questions are identical to the questions that are being graded, and they are not marked as pretested, so it is advised to answer every question as if it will be counted in the overall exam score.

CPA exam scoring is determined based on the difficulty level of the questions. This means that not every question has the same scoring weight. Each question is assigned a value depending on how difficult it is to answer. The difficulty level of the question is determined by the statistical analysis of candidate responses and then every question is assigned a numerical value. Therefore, the more difficult the question, the higher the numerical value.

The AICPA uses scaled scoring to evaluate candidate performance on the CPA Exam. A scaled score is only used when there is a chance of differences in difficulty in various segments of the exam. Scaled scoring is a little different from the regular scoring process. For example, if you scored 80 in a CPA Exam section, it does not necessarily mean that you have answered 80 questions correctly. Each question has a different numerical value based on the difficulty level. A simple question will have less value than a more difficult one. The purpose of calculating scores this way is to compare the results of different types of questions.

Furthermore, the multi-stage testing allows a performance adjustment through the MCQs in testlet 1 and 2 of each part. Once you are done with all the testlets, the scaled scoring system will evaluate the total number of correct answers and convert it into a new number that can be standardized.

The CPA Exam is one of the most difficult professional accreditation exams. It requires many hours of study and dedication to pass. While there is no magic formula to score well on the exam, a few factors can improve your exam score.

The North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) is a standardized, computer-based exam developed by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) to assist state Boards of Pharmacy in evaluating a candidate's pharmacy skills and knowledge for licensure as an entry-level pharmacist in the United States. Passing the NAPLEX is one of the many challenging steps required to become a licensed pharmacist.

As of January 2021, exam results are reported as "Pass" or "Fail," with no numerical score provided. The "pass" threshold is based on the exam's long-standing, validated scaled score cut point of 75, which indicates that the minimum competency to practice pharmacy independently has been met.

The NAPLEX Competency Statements outline the general practice areas that will be covered on the 225-item exam. They provide crucial information about the knowledge, judgment, and skills that an entry-level pharmacist is expected to demonstrate. A solid understanding of the competency statements and their distribution on the exam will help you prepare. The following table gives you a broad overview of the six competency areas tested and the proportion of questions to expect in each area.

By submitting an application for the NAPLEX, you authorize NABP to release your exam results to your state's pharmacy board. Unless NABP has withheld or invalidated your exam results, NABP will forward them to the board from which you are seeking licensure, as well as any jurisdiction to which you have requested NAPLEX score transfer.

Candidates attempting to obtain a license in California, Guam, Illinois, Minnesota, Montana, Puerto Rico, Wisconsin, and the Virgin Islands will receive their results directly from the board of pharmacy or governing body of that state or territory (typically by mail).

The majority of candidates will receive NAPLEX results around 14 business days after taking their exam. Exam results are available in your NABP e-Profile for the majority of states. Waiting times may differ for candidates from states that do not participate in the NABP's online exam results interface.

Individuals who fail the NAPLEX may retake the exam up to five times, contingent upon eligibility determination by the state board of pharmacy. That is, some states may allow fewer attempts, but no state allows more than five. Candidates are allowed a maximum of three attempts per 12-month period, which will require reapplying and paying the appropriate application fees again.

The NAPLEX score transfer program expedites the transfer of exam results to multiple states where candidates wish to obtain a pharmacy license. If you participate in the score transfer program, your exam result will be applicable to the licensure requirements of the selected states. The state boards of pharmacy have sole discretion over licensing decisions.

The NAPLEX score transfer program allows quick score transferrals to multiple boards of pharmacy in states where candidates wish to obtain pharmacy licensure. Candidates can purchase NAPLEX score transfers at the time the exam is purchased or at any time up to 89 days after taking the exam. Each score transfer request costs $75.

Today I took the Kaplan Readiness test (I haven't taken the 2 UWorld Self Assessments yet) and I scored in the 50s. I found that I'm scoring higher in my UWorld QBank than in Kaplan. With 13 days left, how should I move forward to ensure that I'm preparing the best for this exam? Would dropping Kaplan or focusing solely on Kaplan be good?

I'm in the same boat! To me, UWorld's questions are much more clearly written, even though they require the same level of knowledge and critical thinking. My UWorld scores are pretty good, my Kaplan scores are making me feel discouraged. :-/ I'll be following.

Personally, out of the two I believe Kaplan is by far the more superior of the two. Because of Kaplan, I was able to pass flying colors - 75 questions within an hour. Kaplan is great for the critical thinking questions, uworld has a lot of knowledge questions? Which to be honest, is useless in nclex. Kaplan is harder yes, especially their practice questions, but because of it I sailed through the nclex. I felt the nclex was one of the easiest tests of my life all because of Kaplan.

Hey! Quick update -- so I think I found out what *my* problem was. I took UWorld's Self Assessment 1 today and got a really low score. It got me down especially since my test date is sooner than soon! After remediating I noticed that 9 of the questions I got wrong, I changed my answer. With my Kaplan Readiness test, I changed 11 from right to wrong. That's a huge jump in score.
