The study specifically sought to address the void in empirical research in the area of programmatic variables predictive of NCLEX-RN performance. The study also investigated whether the changes made in NCLEX-RN from a paper-and-pencil test to computer adaptive testing (CAT), which was initiated in 1994, could help explain variations experience in program pass rate between 1990 and 1996. The population was composed of 360 May and June graduates from one baccalaureate nursing program. The research method used in this study was an archival survey. Analysis of t-tests and z-tests showed that the two outcome groups (pass group and fail group) differed significantly (p {dollar}
