does numeric score matter?

Published

i'm a little confused about this, if someone could please clear it up for me.....does your *actual* score on the nclex matter, or just whether or not you pass or fail it??

there's no numeric score given... just pass or fail.

NCLEX exams are not designed to give a numeric score and you will never see one. Only pass or not pass.

In fact, both passers and failers tend to get around 50% right. What determines pass/fail is the difficulty level of those questions where you're getting 50%. So that's why it's not really even possible to come up with different numeric scores for each person.
