Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) Item Types

These NGN question item types that may be used on the NCLEX exam can include,
but are not limited to, CLOZE, enhanced multiple selection, enhanced hot spots,
extended drag and drop, dynamic exhibits and constructed response, highlighting
items, and matrix items. Additionally, case studies may accompany some question
types. You are encouraged to access www.ncsbn.org for the most current
information on these test items, their description, and how they will be presented.
An enhanced multiple-response question is similar to a multiple-choice question
in that it usually allows more than one option to be chosen. The difference is that an
enhanced multiple-response question presents a long list of options. The NCLEX
examination committee has not yet provided specific information as to how these
question types will be presented. An example of one way they may be presented can
be located in Box 1-12.
