How many must make 80% or better on each exam?

Just found out tonight that next year when I start the RN program, you must make at least 80% on each nursing exam to pass. I'm starting to kinda freak out about this!! I usually make at least 90% so far but I'm still really afraid I'll fail now. Does anyone else's program require an 80 on each exam?

Ours is 76%, average over the semester on all exams. It's stressful, even though I've been getting 90s, there's still the thought I could really bomb one or two!

Yup, an 80% is needed to pass at my school, as well. Don't freak out. Just make sure you study the material and you'll be fine. I know I was a bit worried at first too, not because I couldn't do it, just because it was different than what I was used to. Where I did my prereqs, a 75% was passing. I usually score 95 and above on my nursing exams. It can be done. A lot of people told me it was impossible, but it's not as long as you put time in. Good luck!
