Percentiles, percentages & probability of passing

6/21/2018 3:47:24 PM
Hello everyone!

I'm waiting for my ATT, and will be taking the NCLEX sometime this Summer. I am feeling extra pressured because my program requires that I pass the NCLEX before I can start the Master's program in the Fall. I just started prepping with UWorld a couple of weeks ago, and am finding it really helpful (I've also been using ATI for a year, but don't like it as much). I wanted to do one of the self-assessment test at the beginning, and plan to do the second test right before I take the NCLEX. I'm a little confused what's percentile I should striving for, as well as percent averages. When I took the self-assessment I averaged 57.3% (yikes!), but was surprised to see that it put in the "high chance of passing." (the 54th percentile).

Can others shed light on this? Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Hello, I took the NCLEX on Tuesday 6/12/18.....I was sure I failed...I did the whole 265 questions....I did the Pearson Vue Trick and got the bad pop 4 separate times. <--- I might have been doing the PVT wrong. I subscribed to UWorld for three months and really only used it for about 4 weeks. I went through the 2093 question test bank. I ended up with an overall score from the 2093 questions of 48% in the 22nd percentile, but I went through every single rationale right or wrong... 6/14/18 I received my active RN license #....I wouldn't focus on what percent you're getting as long as you're learning from the rationales. I ordered two 75 question assessments that I didn't even use... Good luck to you.....
