- 中文摘要: The purposes of this study were: (1) to investigate the problem items on the RN licensure exam, and (2) to determine the consistency of classification of item difficulty between the items' writers and test examinees' responses. Data was sampled from 13,277 examinees' responses to items on the RN licensure exam held in July, 1996. Research findings revealed that problem items found in basic nursing numbered four items (5%), seven problem items (8.75%) in medical-surgical nursing, nine items (11.25%) in comprehensive nursing and the highest number, 17 items (21.25%), in basic medical science. In determining the consistency of item difficulty classification between the items' writers and test examinees' responses, 30 items (37.97%) in basic nursing, 43 items (53.75%) in medical-surgical nursing, 34 items (42.50%) in comprehensive nursing, and 38 items (46.50%) in basic medical science were consistent, but not statistically significant (ps > .05). Study findings recommend pre-test reliability and validity analysis for newly developed items before every formal exam administration to eradicate problem items.
