Hi, took the NLN PAX PN. Do I have to wait for the results in the mail or the report that followed is all i need? Read several threads and just wanted to know how I read this thing. I've been out of school for 22 yrs so I did the best I could.

I'm getting ready to take my PAX-RN on the 17th. I'm presuming it's the same. Your score your reading on there from my understanding won't really matter. It's the percentile you placed in with the program your applying to. Say you got a 138 and the school you are applying for has that as the highest, you would be in the 99th percentile. But if that was the highest and you only got a 114, there's a chance you could still fall in the, say 98th percentile. It's completely dependent on how everyone else tested on what percentile you are in. That's my understanding. My gf took the TEAS and said she was able to log in and pay 48 hours later for her score. I'm assuming the percentiles are in closer to the deadline of applications? I still find it a little xonfusing

Also if I recall there was a site from the testing company that told you exactly what each score meant. Try googling it and NLN or something.... Maybe how to read PAX score?
