pass/fail printouts

Published

Hi all

I should be taking the NCLEX soon. But after reading the forums here a somewhat random question popped into my head (nothing new there :chuckle)

I have read many people who failed the exam saying that their results showed X amount above standards and X below standards. Leading me to believe that some sort of paperwork or email is sent giving you the breakdown of your tests and your strengths and weaknesses (above/below standards).

My question is, if you pass, does it also send you paperwork/email giving you the same breakdown? I figure if/when I pass, there is probably going to be an area or two that I have a weakness in (or one that isn't as strong) and that maybe I should be looking over that info, even though I still passed.

Call me crazy, but I think I would like to know (when I pass) where my weakness is, so I can review it to try to strengthen my knowledge base on that area.

Any passers of the NCLEX care to chime in and let me know if the same paperwork/email is also sent to you?

Hello,

I think it really depends on what state board of nursing you chose when you applied for your exam. As for my case, I passed NCLEX in the state of CA, they only send you a letter notification that you passed. You don't even have a license yet unless you get to the states and apply for your SSN. I'm not sure how it goes with other states.

However, i've seen in an application form for reciprocity/ or endorsement under the section wherein the state board of nursing (BON) fills up a portion where they (forwarding) can actually send the receiving state BON your results. like all areas from psych, MS, foundations, OB etc. So I guess, even if CA BON does not send the actual performance rating to the test takers, they may have a record of your test performance.

Cheers,

You only get a print out when you fail. When you pass you get paperwork pertaining to your license etc but no printout

Thanks for responding.

It was just one of those things that made me curious.
