How much of the content on the NCS is related to knowing the statistical methods of the studies?(i.e. type of analysis used to derive the results etc.)
Hi Christina,
I’m so sorry for the delay! This post was directed to our spam folder for some reason and I am just finding it. The take-aways/conclusions of articles are much more important for the NCS exam than memorizing study design or statistical methods. There may be questions asking you to analyze a given statistic to assess your knowledge of statistical terms, but it is less important to memorize results of specific studies. Hope this helps!
