Is there a big percentage of people that pass there nclex on the first time?

Re: The percentage of fail and pass?

85% pass the first time. Thats good odds.

Re: The percentage of fail and pass?

Sats can be found on the NCSBN website and usually in the 80's for first time takes trained in the US and 45% ish for foreign trained first time takers.

Yep it was so devestating but what can we do other than study like there is nothing else to do. I start an lvn seminar course on the 6th so well see how that goes. Did u get a next test date yet?

Re: The percentage of fail and pass?

yes i have scheduled exactly 45 days of my first exam date.. which is the minimum i have to wait..my theory behind that is if i wait too long, i dont want to forget the base knowledge i already have from nursing school.. our school teachers had encouraged us to test as soon as possible because as time delays, we will forget more things.. therefore; forty five days is enough for me.. i am studying every day, and making sure i address my weaknesses.. i also am going to start kaplan .. and my next exam is going to be in mid august..

Re: The percentage of fail and pass?

The percentage doesn't matter, except to make someone who didn't pass feel worse. If you are the one person whose vehicle gets T-boned in an intersection by someone traveling at 70 miles/hr, it doesn't help you feel any better to know that you are in the 0.001% of people this happens to. If you didn't pass, start preparing to pass it the next time around. Good luck.
