The Relationship Between Subtest Scores of the National League for Nursing Achievement Tests and Subtest Scores of the Ohio State Board Examinations for Nursing Certification

Abstract

An investigation of the correlations between scores on subtests of the National League for Nursing (NLN) Achievement Tests and scores on the corresponding sections of the State Board Licensure examinations revealed significant relationships on all five of the content-similar subtests. The moderate but significant coefficients seem to document concurrent validity of the NLN subtests in relation to corresponding criterion measures afforded by the State Board examinations.
