I found it extremely discouraging when I first started using UWORLD. Also to make it worse, I took a break from school and I have not been in a lecture since 2018 summer. I was in the 20th percentile and I just kept doing small quizzes over time and kept reading the rationales. I gave myself 2 months before my exam date, I was increasing to the 46-48h percentile which was the average. I was even more discouraged when I got borderline on my first practice test but I just kept going this was on the 1st month. I was doing incorrect and new ones each day I was off my set. Then for 2-3 weeks I constantly did 75 questions and then I did my 2nd test I got likely chances of passing at 44th percentile. I kept scaring myself by looking at forums to lessen my anxiety but it has been said if you have a good average of "Learners with an average QBank score of 56% pass the NCLEX at a 92% rate. While your average UWorld QBank score gives you important information". THIS gave me hope. I also saw that 85% chance of passing the nclex.. so the test is on your side. There is no certain percentage to pass, it just tests your knowledge if you are able to competently work safely. I finished all my 2000 questions and reached up to the 72nd percentile. Wrote the test and took my sweet time, I turned off my timer. I passed with 75 questions
- I just wanted to put this up to give people hope when they write the test. I found NCLEX slightly difficult but it was easier than UWORLD in some ways. Trust UWORLD and keep reading the rationales.

Thank you for your testimony, this really encourages me… as I have the same scores and sit at the same percentile. I test in less than a week, and I am a complete nervous wreck! But seeing you passed with the scores that I have, makes me feel much less stressed. So again, thank you!
