so does all the ppl who pass get a bin envelope ( like a paper size) and the ppl who fail get a small one? some body plz let me knwo, so i know what to expect when i receive mine.

Thanks.

I assume that this is because of the enclosed A4 sized CRNE Completion Certificate which cannot be folded to fit inside a regular business envelope.

Oh I see. Thanks a lot for sharing that information, lilmisswongy.

everybody gets an A4 sized- envelope, be it pass or fail. i noticed though, that if you pass, the envelope is kinda lighter in weight, because there's only 2-4 pages of paper inside it, whereas, if you fail there's a bunch of paper works to do, so you'll get a "thicker" envelope. :) that's why when i got my results, i had to kinda weigh it. haha. i just got the confirmation letter and the certificate so that makes just 2 pages altogether. :)

Ayel,

I am so sorry to hear that. I can't imagine how you are feeling, but I'll share with you something my mom, also a nurse, has often shared with me when I am down, especially when I was studying in nursing school..."It gets worst before it gets better." This may not be comforting right now, but when you are on the floor as an RN, you'll get it! Hold on, yours is coming! Delayed, not denied (don't know who said that but I believe this for you.) Stay strong. Study hard.

As has been stated many times before, the pass mark doesn't matter. You aren't told what your mark was, only whether you've passed or failed. The first link will take you to a bulletin explaining how the CRNE is scored. The second link refers to obtaining your result.

I think the reason that the person may want to know the pass score for the exam is because it can help to gauge the difficulty of the exam that we wrote in comparison to past exams. Ie/ in the past the pass score has been 146; if the pass score for this exam was say 162 it may indicate that the exam we wrote was easier than past exams and the marks have been "bell curved" to reflect this

Pediatric Critical Care Columnist · Mar 16, 2009

Since the questions are formatted for the skills and knowledge base of the beginning nurse and all exams are weighted in such a way that a pass is a pass, the mark doesn't matter. It's meaningless and knowing the number isn't going to give any indication of a individual's strengths ore weaknesses. If you've read the bulletins and understand how the questions are scored, you will know that a person who gets a 1 or a 2 (partial marks) on the majority of the questions is going to pass, but there is absolutely NO way to know which questions a person got correct and which they didn't. It might matter if there was an opportunity to review the exam, but there isn't so the actual mark is meaningless.
