<\/span>Test Day<\/h2>\nOn test day, you should arrive at the testing center about 30 minutes before the exam is scheduled to begin.

<\/span>How the Exam is Scored<\/h2>\nThe scores for the ANCC Pain Management Nursing exam are calculated using a criterion-based scoring system.

Your score is reported on a scale of 1 to 500, and you must get a score of at least 350 to pass the exam.<\/p>\n
You will be able to see your preliminary scores as soon as you complete the exam, and your final score report will be made available via your ANCC account.<\/p>\n

The cost of the examination is $395, with a discount available for ANA members.<\/p>\n
Once you have registered, you will receive information on how to schedule your examination appointment.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Test Day<\/h2>\nOn test day, you should arrive at the testing center about 30 minutes before the exam is scheduled to begin. Once you arrive, you will be asked to provide two forms of identification, one of which must contain your photo and signature. If your ID is invalid, you will not be permitted to take the examination.<\/p>\n
Personal items are not allowed in the testing area, so you will be asked to leave them in a secured locker before the exam begins.<\/p>\n
Once the check-in process is complete, you will be led to your testing station and given a short tutorial on the testing system before beginning your exam.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How the Exam is Scored<\/h2>\nThe scores for the ANCC Pain Management Nursing exam are calculated using a criterion-based scoring system. This means that a panel of ANCC subject-matter experts has evaluated the questions and determined a passing score. The passing score is set using the modified-Angoff method, which means that your score is based solely on your performance, without any input from the performance of other test-takers.<\/p>\n
Your score is reported on a scale of 1 to 500, and you must get a score of at least 350 to pass the exam.<\/p>\n
You will be able to see your preliminary scores as soon as you complete the exam, and your final score report will be made available via your ANCC account.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Retaking the Exam<\/h2>\nIf you fail the exam, you may retake it after a 60-day waiting period. After the waiting period, you must resubmit an application and the retest fee of $270.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t
