Difficulty Level

How will you determine the difficulty level of the test? Explain and justify the level of difficulty of the test.

Test Blueprint

Explain the process of creating a test blueprint. Why is it important to create a test blueprint? Create a template of a test blueprint showing quota of cognitive levels for each subject, test question type quotas (number of plain MC, select all that apply, and other alternative formats). Also consider quota of questions aligned with number of NCLEX test plan categories for each subject, segment of the nursing process included in each subject, and proposed structure of test.

Attached this blueprint as an Appendix to this paper. This unit exam covers 12 hours of class content. The blueprint contains other class content and the quota of each cognitive level questions acceptable. So along with your class content from Project One, there is also 8 hours of other content (example: 4 hours on oxygenation for the patient on the ventilator and on 4 hours of elimination content for the patient on dialysis and 4 hours on your content).

Create a summary of the information discussed in this essay. The summary should be one to two paragraphs.
