What is the change that is happening in NICETs testing system?
In the past, most NICET tests have been based on work elements (small testing modules selected by candidates). Work element tests have been administered in a paper-and-pencil format at NICET test centers four times each year. These tests are now being converted to Standard CBT exams. While we tend to refer to these as the new CBT tests, there are actually two parts to this change: • “The Standard Model” — This refers to the development process, format, and scoring of the exams. The development process is much more elaborate, rigorous, secure, and costly than in the past, with detailed procedures for the development and approval of every test question. As one progresses up through the Levels, there will be one test for each subsequent Level (or, possibly, 2 or 3, all of which must be passed). Each test will have a passing score that will be based on an analysis of beta test results. • Computer-Based Testing — These tests will be administered on a computer at a secure, proctored computer
