NLN scores high enough?

Hi. I took the NLN on January 7th and I got my results yesterday. It reads as follows:

Composite score: 123 Composite percentiles: DI (90) AD (84) ALL (85)

My percentiles for the ALL section is 64 (verbal), 92 (math), and 68 (science)

The school I am applying to requires 50 percentile or better. I am not sure if this is good enough though, I know nursing schools are very competitive! I am applying to a few, but hoping to get into Rivier College in Nashua NH. Please let me know how these scores are!

I can only say the school I applied to wants an overall composite score of 100.

I think you should be fine! You scored 14, 42, and 18 above the percentile that you needed. I'd say be worried if you scored 51-55 percentile but you scored above that. How is your GPA? Is it competitive?

I scored 78/89/68 with a 132 and needed a 100 just to be considered and I got in.
