NPLEX STATEMENT REGARDING EXAMINATION INTEGRITY AND SCORING
In accordance with testing industry best practices, the passing/cut score for NPLEX examinations is established using a criterion-referenced standard setting methodology. Criterion-referenced scoring means that each candidate is evaluated on their own knowledge and performance, as opposed to in comparison to any other candidate. The approach determines the passing/cut score based on the level of knowledge, skills, and abilities required for safe and effective practice.
While it is preferable to administer each examination (or examination part) on a single day during the testing window, it is possible to maintain a fair and valid assessment process while accommodating a second administration window. Examination administration and security procedures will be identical across both administrations. As in every NPLEX administration, statistical analyses will be conducted to identify any anomalies in the examination data, including potential evidence of prior exposure to examination content (pre-knowledge). These measures are designed to ensure a fair, valid, and equitable assessment process for all candidates, regardless of administration date.
REPORTING OF JULY/AUGUST 2026 NPLEX RESULTS
Your NPLEX results will be distributed to you electronically via Prometric approximately seven (7) weeks after the NPLEX administration. You will be sent an email from Prometric with instructions for securely accessing your results using the password provided on your Candidate Pre-Registration Letter.
- If you took the Part II – Clinical Science Examinations and did not complete all graduation requirements before the exam date, your NPLEX results will not be released until NABNE has received, no later than October 31st, written verification from your ANMP that you have completed graduation requirements. If NABNE does not receive this letter by the deadline, your NPLEX results will be withheld or invalidated, and all fees will be forfeited. If NABNE receives written verification of graduation from your ANMP, Prometric will notify you when your NPLEX results become available.
If you took the Part II – Clinical Science Examinations, NABNE will also send, to the single regulatory authority you indicated on your Part II Application, a transcript of your Part I (or previous NPLEX results) and the official report of your NPLEX Part II – Clinical Science results (including the Core Clinical Science and any Elective Examinations you took).
Your NPLEX results will be released only to the regulatory authority you have designated on your NPLEX Part II application or transcript request. NPLEX results will not be reported to you by phone, fax, or email.
