Just wondering what your passing rate is for your RN schools? This year our school increased theirs from 77% to 80%. The first med surg test I got a 78% and I am completely freaking out! In our final grade, even though we do all kinds of extra assignments, they only base our grade on tests. Is anyone else's school similar?

75% for this year but they said they have raised it and will continue to raise it each year until it is 80%. Glad I got in now...

We are required to maintain 75% on exams. Each semester a calc test is given and the first three semesters the required score is 90%. In 4th semester the required score on the calc test is 97%. All paperwork / careplans are required for clinical and is on a pass/fail basis.

Ours is 84% on final grades each term - if you don't have 84% you are dropped from the nursing program...
Our classroom grades are based on tests, homework assignments, papers, etc. Clinical grades are 50% instructor eval and 50% assignments.

Ours is 80% on tests, and finals are cumulative. And every semester you have to get 100% on the calc tests. Clinicals are pass/fail, and clinical assignments don't go toward your overall grade. You have to pass the tests!

ours is 74%, the final grade is based on all 5 test and they all have to average out to 74%. there are other components that are added into our final grade, but if our test average is not 74% we automatically fail.
we have to get 90% on the med math test up until our final clinical and then that has to be an 100%

Our's is 80% on each exam and 80% on class work. They don't care if you get 100% in class work if one of your exams is 79 and the others are 80%, you'll be repeating. You may repeat 1 course. If your not successful, your out of the program. Talk about stress

For our lecture class, you have to have a 78% cumulative grade to pass. This is calculated based only on tests. Other assignments are not used to calculate your final grade.
For clinical, it is a pass/fail situation. The only test that we have is a medication calculations test. You have to score 100% on this before you are allowed to come to clinicals. We are required to retake it each semester.

At my school we have four tests and a final and have to have 77% to pass. We also have projects and checklists and clinicals and stuff like that, but we don't get a grade for any of it. It only hurts us if don't do it. ahhh... what a semester this is gonna be!
