PRC Confirms Leakage in Nursing Exam

The Professional Regulation Commission confirmed Thursday that test questions in the nursing board examination last month have been leaked, ABS-CBN News learned.

A PRC fact-finding committee tasked to probe the leakage also said that the leakage during the test from June 11-12 was traced to two members of the Board of Nursing. The committee recommended the filing of administrative charges against the two.

The committee, however, did not identify the board officials. They were earlier directed by the board to inhibit themselves from the processing and release of the results pending the investigation.
"This leakage irregularity shall be referred to the National Bureau of Investigation for its own investigation and determination of all persons and parties involved and their criminal prosecution under the law," the fact-finding body said.

The report was signed by Leonor Tripon-Rosero, chairwoman, and commissioners Avelina de la Rea and Renato Valdecantos.

Talk and news reports of the test leakage came out after an examinee, who declined to identify herself, said that a review center in Baguio City handed out test questions that would appear in the exam.

The PRC earlier denied the rumors, saying that the examination system has been improved to prevent leakages.
The exam results are expected to be released next week.

a classmate texted me yesterday telling me that a certain CI told her that the leakage is true because his friends, according to him, got 2 sets of the said exam. these people are from COTABATO, not baguio. now, if the results are coming out next week, pretty sure PRC has made adjustments in the results as of this time. they could've adjusted or excluded the scores of those who allegedly got the leakage, the gapuz reviewees. but how about those from cotabato? or from other places? do they know that the test was leaked to other students from other places as well? PRC shouldn't be hasty in releasing the results. yeah, i know we want our exam results very badly coz it's taken ages already but ultimately we will be the ones who will suffer if the results will come out before proper investigation has been conducted. God knows how many students even outside baguio got the leakage. you do the math.

my two cents.
