Standard Setting
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 NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN exams reevaluate their respective passing standards triennially. During this breakout session, NCSBN staff will discuss the steps involved in setting NCLEX passing standards.
