Aug 15, 200520 yr I was wondering if everyone's school was the same as mine. We have to get a 92% or better to get an A (75% = C). They base this on how the NCLEX exams are graded.How does it work for you?~J
Aug 15, 200520 yr A = 94 - 100B = 87 - 93C = 80 - 86Anything lower than an 80 got you kicked out of the nursing program.
Aug 15, 200520 yr A 94-100A- 91-93B+ 88-90B 85-87B- 82 - 84C+ 80 - 81C 78 - 79C- 75 - 77D 66- 74F This is the first school I've been to that had a plus and minus system. My ADN program wasn't so generous 93 to 100 was an A. My undergrad at another university was a 10 point scale 90 - 100 equals an A, and I liked that one.
Aug 15, 200520 yr If only my college would have had a grading sytem that was a point lower...such as giving an A for a total score of 93%.....I would have made more As! One point cost me several A's, and one point cost me a B in one subject. My final total score in Pharmacology was 93%........an "A" at some schools....NOT my school...oh noooooooo...."B at" my school.
Aug 15, 200520 yr I won't know until I attend orientation, but I've "heard" that you have to make a 78 to pass, so I would guess a 78 is a C to them. It sucks that I have to wait until orientation to know all this stuff. I want to know NOW!:chuckle
Aug 16, 200520 yr A 96-100A- 93-95B+ 89-92B 86-88B- 83-85C+ 80-82 All required lab modules and test must be at 80% or higher to recieve a passing grade. Beyond this it doesn't matter, because if you get anything lower your out.
Aug 16, 200520 yr 94-100 =A87-93 = B82-86 = Cbelow 82 is failing and you are kicked out of the program. You must maintain an 82% on all test too, so it is feasible to have a "C" in the class because your class average is 83 or so % but if your test average is below 82, you fail the class regardless of your class average - we lost 3 students this last semester for that exact reasonAlso have to maintain 95% on all med tests your 1st year, 100% your 2nd year. We also have no make up tests, if you miss a test, it's a 0 regardless of the reason you missed the test (yes, even a death in the family). Clinical is pass/fail and if you miss more than 1 clinical you fail.
Aug 16, 200520 yr Ours is 93-100 A84-92 B75-83 CBelow 75 - failYou can fail one class and repeat, but if you fail two you are out of the program.And how is it that there is a 8 pt difference in Bs and Cs, but only 7 in As. Not fair! I seriously got a 92.3 one time and got a B! Bleh! It's not what regular colleges give, but I guess the grades are raised b/c of the NCLEX?? But it is weird to see so many different variations.

How does it work for you?
