Equating Procedures:


The American Chiropractic Neurology Board does not utilize separate Forms for the written test.  Each year twenty percent (20%) of the questions are rotated out and replaced with new ones for current trends in practice and security purposes.

The American Chiropractic Neurology Board maintains four Forms of the Practical Examination.  In all four Forms, the history and physical examination are identical as this represents current practice.  The Special Tests that performed by the candidates and the video-clips viewed by the Candidates are different but similar in content for each Form.  The equating methodology is via Angoff cut score setting.  The Angoff Panel rates each Special Test and each video-clip question separately and the ratings obtained total for the cut score for each Form.  That is, an Angoff cut score is set for each Form of the Practical Examination according to the difficulty of the items on that Form.
