Passing rate for your school?

Published

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?

80% at my school.

We need 78%, based on 5 exams and one research paper,plus the pass on clinicals. last semester we had to have a 78 at midterm or they dropped us. This semester it is at the final. We need 90% on the math exams and get three trys.

At my school you need 80% in all your classes to pass or you're dropped from the program.

Hey,

My school requires a 73% to pass a lecture class and an overall GPA of 3.0 (need B's, an 80%) to continue.

Specializes in CCU.

At my school, the minimum passing for theory is a 77%. There are opportunities for some bonus points through the course, but they are not added until we achieve at least a 76.5% on exams/theory , which they will round up to a 77%.

Specializes in General adult inpatient psychiatry.

73% average on all exams and then projects, group presentations and the like are factored in once that minimum is reached. I'm pleased that I got an 80% on my first exam because there's at least a little room for error and it's definitely not a bad score for the first exam of the quarter.

Specializes in Anesthesia.

Ours is 75%, but my main instructor was a member of the committee that writes the NCLEX, so since our tests are ridiculously hard (she even admits it), she kind of curves our grades. It definitely helps though, seeing as how the school's pass rate on the nclex is like 98%

Our school is 75% class average. Our first 5 week fundamentals class consisted of 3 exams. They averaged the grades. Several classmates bombed the first two tests but surprisingly did a turn-around on the 3rd one to make it to the 75% mark.
