The format of the NCE can vary, but it is commonly delivered as a computer-based test. For example, the NCLEX-RN uses a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) format, where the difficulty of questions adjusts based on the test-taker's performance. The exam typically consists of multiple-choice questions, but other question formats such as fill-in-the-blank, hot spots, and drag-and-drop may also be included.
