Percentage of Students who Pass First Time

[tconlgirl]

I am sure this has already been asked and answered, but I am going to ask again, cause... I'm just like that

What percentage of students who take the NCLEX (RN) pass the first time. I recently took a standardized test (ATI) that gave me a 95% probability that I would pass first time. Does anyone know the statistics?

Thanks for indulging my curiosity

Yep has been asked several times.

If trained in the US then pass rate is 88% according to new figures but you can also see last years figures

NCSBN is great on information regarding the exam

Thank You Silver,

88% is a pretty high percentage, but thats a positive for prospective test takers

Thanks Again
