didn't get nln score yet

szeles23 · Jul 26, 2011

They get posted online now? My score came to me via usps. It took about 3 weeks for me to get it. When did you take the test? Are you applying for spring? Sometimes the school will get the score before you.

okay. amazingly, i finally got my score back this morning. does anyone know how to interpret this? there is correct percentage and relative performance section. seems like I did bad for science. a 51% correct and 40 relative performance. what does that mean?

The way I believe UH interprets it is from the "ALL" category. They also look at the composite score but maybe not the percentile. Their minimums is that you pass more than 50% of each section. The NLN is pretty confusing, frankly I didn't really understand it at first. I'm going to go dig out my score sheet to see if I can help you interpret it.

https://allnurses.com/hi-nursing-programs/uhm-current-nursing-490564.html is a thread that kind of explains how UHM uses it for evaluation. Are you applying for spring?

Here is a quick screenshot of my nln score report. Which column should I be looking at?

I think it goes off the % Correct Score. UH needs at least 50% in each category and you meet that so that is good. I'm a bit puzzled by the "relative performance" category. I have no idea what that means. I took my nln last august but they didn't have the online scores available at that time. They sent me two pages with my score and then explanation of how to interpret it. I'm hoping they are sending you a hard copy too.

UH looks at the PERCENTILE

KCC looks at the COMPOSITE

call the school for more specifics
