  1. What is a 'passing score' also commonly called in credentialing CBT programs?

    Answer: Cut score

    The cut score is the minimum scaled score a candidate must achieve to be considered competent and pass the exam.

  2. Which of the following best describes a 'testlet' format used in some CBT exams?

    Answer: A cluster of related questions based on a shared case or scenario

    A testlet groups multiple questions around a common stimulus such as a patient case, legal scenario, or data set, testing integrated knowledge.

  3. Why do CBT testing centers use video surveillance during exams?

    Answer: To monitor for unauthorized aids or suspicious behavior that could indicate cheating

    Cameras deter and detect cheating behaviors such as accessing prohibited materials or communicating with others during the exam.

  4. What is 'score reporting' in a CBT context?

    Answer: The official delivery of exam results to the candidate and relevant organizations

    Score reporting is the formal process by which the testing organization transmits official results to candidates, credentialing bodies, or employers.

  5. In a CBT exam, what does 'answer review' functionality allow a candidate to do?

    Answer: Go back and modify responses to previously answered questions before final submission

    Answer review lets candidates revisit and change responses within the same section or exam before clicking the final submit button.

  6. What is the primary reason some CBT exams use 'alternate item types' such as drag-and-drop or hot spots?

    Answer: To assess higher-order thinking skills that simple multiple-choice cannot easily measure

    Alternate item types can evaluate application, analysis, and synthesis—cognitive levels that straightforward recall questions may not effectively test.

  7. Which of the following behaviors could result in immediate dismissal from a CBT testing center?

    Answer: Attempting to copy exam questions using a personal device

    Attempting to capture or reproduce exam content is a serious violation that results in immediate removal and may lead to score cancellation and a permanent ban.
