The NCLEX is scored using dichotomous scoring, so you can either pass or fail the exam. Currently, to pass the NCLEX-RN, the standard is 0.00 logits?or answer questions correctly at least 50% of the time

Passing and Failing The decision as to whether a candidate passes or fails the NCLEX is governed by three scenarios.

Scenario #1: The 95% Confidence Interval Rule This scenario is the most common for NCLEX candidates. The computer will stop administering items when it is 95% certain that the candidate?s ability is either clearly above or clearly below the passing standard.?

Scenario #2: Maximum-Length Exam Some candidates? ability levels will be very close to the passing standard. When this is the case, the computer continues to administer items until the maximum number of items is reached. At this point, the computer disregards the 95% confidence interval rule and considers only the final ability estimate. ? If the final ability estimate is at or above the passing standard, the candidate passes. ? If the final ability estimate is below the passing standard, the candidate fails.?

Scenario #3: Run-Out-of-Time Rule (R.O.O.T.) If a candidate runs out of time before reaching the maximum number of items and the computer has not determined with 95% certainty whether the candidate has passed or failed, alternate criteria are used. ? If the candidate has not answered the minimum number of required items, the candidate automatically fails. ? If at least the minimum number of required items were answered, then the final ability estimate will be based on all responses given before the exam time expired. If the score is at or above the passing standard, the candidate will pass; otherwise, the candidate will fail.
