Format: 172-item, four-option, multiple-choice.
Administration: Can be administered in three hours. Schedule at the completion of the nursing program. The NLN DRT is nonsecure and therefore may be ordered by educators and nurse candidates.

Scoring: Performance reports for the DRT provide diagnostic information in the areas of client needs, the nursing process, clinical practice, and health alterations. The detailed, individual performance profile uses a graph to indicate strengths and weaknesses on 26 subscales related to those four areas. This report can be used to create an individualized study plan. A statement about the likelihood of success on NCLEX-RN® is included based on the total score earned. Class summary reports display numerical scores with indicators of overall student strengths and weaknesses. The report provides educators with the names of students who demonstrated relative weakness in each content area, and can help educators to devise an effective group study plan. Correct answer rationales to every item and a reference list are provided.
Online users receive immediate feedback of individual and class test results.
For those who purchase the paper version, two copies of each individual diagnostic profile are provided, one for the examinee and one for faculty analysis. A class summary report for the group is furnished when 10 or more students are tested.
