Research

• psychometrically defensible models and procedures are developed to detect aberrant responses for computer-based examinations.

UpdatesNew Item Types

• Multiple correct answers, extended matching, and ordering are coming to National Board Examinations in 2012.

• These new item types will be scored objectively with a well defined scoring rubric.

• Responses on these new item types must match the scoring rubric exactly in order to get a score of "1" for the item. If there is no exact match, the score for the item will be "0". There is no partial credit.

Updates

• For example, for an item with multiple correct answers and four options: A, B, C, and D, if the correct answers are B and D, both B and D and no other options must be selected to get a score of "1". Otherwise, the score for this item will be "0."

Ordering

Order the citric cycle as it occurs. Match each letter with its proper sequence number

Don’t Forget

• The implementation of Pass/Fail reporting for candidate performance on National Boards will take effect on January 1, 2012. After that date, passing candidates will receive the status of Pass, “P”, while failing candidates will receive raw score information for each discipline with the status of Fail, “F”.

Don’t Forget

• The dental school profiles will be discontinued on January 1, 2012 when score reporting on the National Board examinations becomes Pass/Fail.

The Joint Commission is developing a model for providing feedback to dental schools for evaluation purposes.

• Trends in candidate performance and failure rates on Part I and Part II based on reference groups are presented in Figures 1 to 4 below.

• A reference group is defined as candidates who took the examination for the first time and who enrolled in accredited dental schools in U.S and Canada.
