Please I need to clarify this. Is 50% correct minimal competence? Does it mean that if you get half of the answers right you pass?

I guess I am just trying to calm myself down, I am taking Nclex in 2 weeks.

Thanks

Re: 50% of answers correct means pass?

No matter what-you will get 50% of your answers wrong on the NCLEX (and right!)

The test will get easier or harder depending on how you are answering the questions. Start getting too many right, and they make the questions harder. Start getting too many wrong, and they get easier.

When you find that magic area where you conisistantly achieve 50%, then the test shuts off.

What matters is at what level were you at when you got the 50%. If you are in a passing level, then you pass.


The number correct, the number answered, etc. Those don't mean anything.

What matters is what level you got 50% right in.

Make sense?


Good luck in 2 weeks!
