Cut Score Study of the CNL Certification Exam
To ensure that the Commission on Nurse Certification (CNC) offers a fair and quality-assured exam that meets national certification standards, a cut-score study will be conducted using an Angoff method for the new CNL Certification Exam. Subject matter experts in collaboration with the testing agency will participate in the study to determine a passing score that reflects the minimal competency of a CNL. Consequently, there will be a delay in all exam score results and pass/fail notices from the April 30th to May 18th CNL Certification Exams.
Those taking the exam from April 30th to May 18th will receive their pass/fail results via email during the week of May 21st. It is extremely important that all examinees included an accurate primary email address on their CNL Certification Application. Successful candidates will receive an email notification of passing only – a score and diagnostic score report will not be provided to the candidate. Unsuccessful candidates will receive an email notification of failing the exam along with the score and diagnostic score report.
