Updates
New Item Types
• Multiple correct answers, extended matching, and ordering are coming to National Board Examinations in 2012.
• These new item types will be scored objectively with a well defined scoring rubric.
• Responses on these new item types must match the scoring rubric exactly in order to get a score of "1" for the item. If there is no exact match, the score for the item will be "0". There is no partial credit.

Updates
• For example, for an item with multiple
correct answers and four options: A, B, C,
and D, if the correct answers are B
and D, both B and D and no other options
must be selected to get a score of "1".
Otherwise, the score for this item will be
"0."

Don’t Forget
• The implementation of Pass/Fail reporting
for candidate performance on National
Boards will take effect on January 1, 2012.
After that date, passing candidates will
receive the status of Pass, “P”, while
failing candidates will receive raw score
information for each discipline with the
status of Fail, “F”.

Don’t Forget
• The dental school profiles will be

score reporting on the National Board
examinations becomes Pass/Fail.
The Joint Commission is developing a
model for providing feedback to dental
schools for evaluation purposes.
