Exam Score and Data

The minimum passing score required to pass the CRNI® Examination is established by the Angoff method, a criterion-referenced methodology in which expert judges estimate the passing probability of each question on the examination. These ratings are averaged for a “base form” of the examination to determine the minimum passing score (i.e., the number of correctly answered questions required to pass the examination), to ensure that those who pass have demonstrated the expertise deserving of the credential. Since different forms of the examination will be developed, the level of expertise required to pass is preserved through pre-equating. This procedure involves evaluating the performance characteristics of items on a new form, specifically the difficulty and discrimination indexes to determine the passing point on the new form that best represents the same amount of knowledge as was required to pass the base form. Because the new forms can vary somewhat in difficulty, the passing point may be slightly higher or lower than that of the base form.
