I was looking through theExcelsior AS/ RN program and noted that Excelsior mentions the pass rate for this exam( CPNE ) is 61% in 04-05. That does not seem too good. I am wondering if you are expected to need to take it twice ? Is it too hard? or are the prep materials they sell not good enough. This number makes me very curious that there is a substantial reason for this low pass rate. Any info from prior takers? thank you
