Critical Care Register Nurse exam Dumps

CCRN exam Format | Course Contents | Course Outline | exam Syllabus | exam Objectives

A criterion-referenced standard setting process, known as the modified Angoff, is used to establish the passing point/cut score for the exam. Each candidates performance on the exam is measured against a predetermined standard.

The passing point/cut score for the exam is established using a panel of subject matter experts, an exam development committee (EDC), who carefully reviews each exam question to determine the basic level of knowledge or skill that is expected. The passing point/cut score is based on the panels established difficulty ratings for each exam question.

Under the guidance of a psychometrician, the panel develops and recommends the passing point/cut score, which is reviewed and approved by AACN Certification Corporation. The passing point/cut score for the exam is established to identify individuals with an acceptable level of knowledge and skill. All individuals who pass the exam, regardless of their score, have demonstrated an acceptable level of knowledge.

I achieved a score of 88% in my CCRN exam. A close friend suggested using killexams.com Braindumps as she had also passed her exam with their help. The study material provided was of excellent quality. However, getting registered for the exam was the easy part; the real challenge was yet to come. I had to make a choice between enrolling in traditional classes and giving up my part-time job or studying on my own while continuing to work.
