I am at the last semester of nursing school...I calculated 79.99999% on my avearge grade..The final is going to be very hard since, some of the instructors, say that it is going to test on anything that we learned since the first semester...The worst thing about it is that, I think I am the person who has the lowest score out of the whole class or the second to the lowest..I am scared..Just one more week of school..Wish me luck.. 0 Likes
Boe 91 Posts May 16, 2006 How much is your final worth? If it's worth 20% of your total grade you will only need a 56 on the final to get a passing grade of 75%. Break it down and figure out what you actually need to pass. Maybe if you are able to see what you need it will help ease your fears. Good Luck. 0 Likes

It sounds like you'd have to get a pretty low grade to flunk out. I don't know how your tests are made up but I found my Saunder's NClex Review book to be an excellent review resource for my finals. The best of luck to you! How much is your final worth? If it's worth 20% of your total grade you will only need a 56 on the final to get a passing grade of 75%.
