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.
