85% for a passing grade!!

I am not really sure who mandates it but I do feel your pain. My school has set the passing grade at 81%. Now this normally would be a B in most school's but at mine its the lowest C possible. Most of our tests are 25 or less questions so it does not leave much room for error. We are only graded on tests and occasionally if we did our homework which is only an extra 2 points.

There is no make up work or extra credit work. The only thing we do have the option of is taking our worst test score and retaking that test, but then it will be graded between the two test scores, not taking the highest score.

We also need an 85% with anything to do with pharm

Therory

Labs

Math

The school I go to has a very high pass rate for the NCLEX 100% for the last 2 years

So I am not sure who makes the rules I am just happy we ony have 3 more Pharm tests for now the the NLN Pharm in March

Good luck

Our lowest passing grade is %77, the lowest C you can get. But at the start of each level we have to take a math/ nursing calc test, which you have to pass w/ a 85%- fail it twice and you're out. One girl who was on honor roll 1st level came back for 2nd and ended up failing both tests by 1 point. When we approached our director about how messed up that was, she told us she didn't have any control over that, our accreditors do.

Hi sorry to hear about your having to retake your test & take remedials . I was just wondering what school are you attending?

Thanks... I hope this will work for my advantage...but there's more we need to take 3 test before the school release us. Have to pass ATI w/ 85%, comprehensive and NCSBN exam w/c are all prep. for NCLEX...so my study pace are based on this test schedules.

I'm sorry but I don't think it's right to mention the school name here...let's practice our HIPAA

Out of curiosity, what does HIPAA have to do with school name's? A lot of people come here for advice on which schools they would like to go to and which they would rather stay away from.

If it wasn't for these boards I would have gone to a school I know I wouldn't have been happy at, but due to some peoples posts here about a certain school I was able to choose a school that was more suited to my needs and wants.

So just curious.. :nuke:

I just used that term for privacy...you see I'm still in school and most of my schoolmates and classmates are members here...I don't want to discredit my school also.I would gladly tell you if you send me personal message.

I don't blame you then for wanting to keep it private. :) You through me off with the HIPPA .

85% at my school, too.

our school uses 77% for passing the nursing program, it used to be lowere but they changed it this year.

But thank you also Strabismuse for the clarification as I do understand your wanting to keep that withheld. Hope all is going well for you & don't stress too much...
