| The New NCLEX-RN Test Plan - Effective April 2010 Posted: 27 Feb 2010 03:04 AM PST Effective April 2010, there will be a new Test Plan for NCLEX-RN Exam
The NCLEX-RN Test Plan provides a concise summary of the content and scope of the licensing examination. It serves as a guide for examination development as well as candidate preparation. Each NCLEX-RN examination is based on the test plan.
The detailed test plan serves a variety of purposes. It is used to guide candidates preparing for the examination, to direct item writers in the development of items and to facilitate the classification of examination items. Two versions of the detailed test plan have been created: Item Writer/Item Reviewer/Nurse Educator version and Candidate version.
The Candidate version offers a more thorough and comprehensive listing of content for each client needs category and subcategory outlined in the test plan. Sample items are provided at the end of each category, which are specific to the client needs category being reviewed in that section.
The Item Writer/Item Reviewer/Nurse Educator version of the detailed test plan provides the same comprehensive listing of content and sample items for each client needs category and subcategory outlined in the test plan. In addition, the Item Writer/Item Reviewer/Nurse Educator version also provides an item writing tutorial with sample case scenarios to provide nurse educators with hands-on experience in writing NCLEX style test questions.
