Does the Board/Pearson Vue send out a break down of results with passing?

Published

I know people who have to take it again get a breakdown of their strengths and weaknesses; but do people who pass get that? I am not 100% sure I passed, I am just going by the PVT. I want to know what I missed and what I need to improve on. I guess I looked at it as more than a test that doesn't matter once I am issued the license. I really want to work on my weak areas.

If you have passed NCLEX, you will not receive a breakdown of your strengths and weaknesses because the CAT (computerized adaptive testing) has determined that you have displayed a competent level of knowledge in all of the areas that the exam covers.

Oh...I know there's like 60 "real" questions and 15 "screen" questions (going with the minimum of 75), or so I was told. When that happens, how many is the person actually getting correct? Is it like at least 70%; what's the "cut off" percentage?

I just wanted to work on weaknesses and be the best little nurse I can be. :D

Suggest you check out the NSCBN website on there it gives all information relevant to NCLEX. It isn't a case of how many you get right but the level of question you get right
