Percentages!

Columnist · Mar 13, 2008

Are you trying to figure out the grade for one test? If so......how many questions are on the test?

Or are you trying to figure out your grade based on several test scores? If so......how many tests are there? Are all the tests weighted the same, or so some tests count more toward your final grade?

You need to provide more information in order to get an appropriate answer.

Here's the definitive resource for how EC exams are scored.

It is likely more than you ever wanted to know, but there's an interesting part toward the end that breaks down the percentage of students who earned a given grade on each exam.

Thanks so much for the information, so EC exams are kinda of scored like the NCLEX. I feel as though I did not get a fair grade on my last exam, but at least I passed. I felt as though I got better percentages on some of my previous test, and I got a A. I don't know at least I am in the holding pattern for the CPNE.
