NLN test score

[rafiki121]

Hey guys i just took the test last night and got my result. It says my overall score is 126. At first i thought its out of 160 but on the site where my score is, it says "Overall scores range from 0 to 200. The average is around 100" so is this good? cause 126 out of 200 seems real bad. On the verbal i got 60% correct. the relative performance is 49 so meaning 49 ppl did worse then me. Math i got a 95%, relative performance is 98 and science i got 65% relative performance 77%. Thanks

Check with an admissions advisor at the schools your intend to apply at. An overall score of 126 is not bad, but most schools do not look at the overall score as much as they do the individual score. I took the NLN PAX in February. At my school I was told a score some where around an 80 for each section will usually get you in. My overall score was a 132 with an 87/76/88 in verbal/math/science. I'm pretty sure passing is a 50 in each section. If I were you I would retake it. Buy the study guide if you did not already. I think if you can bring up your verbal score a bit you'll be ok. I am pretty sure you can retake it in 6 months.
