Took the pre-NLN test, now trying to figure out what it all means

Published

Hey everyone, first post!

Anyway, I took the pre-NLN test and got my scores back, but I don't know what they all mean, I mean I kind of have it all figured out but the person supervising the exam wasn't a nurse and couldn't explain it very well.

Basically, what do I need to be looking at, the composite percentile score?

Hi and congrats on making it through the test! :up:

It just depends on what your nursing school wants. Mine wants the composite to be above 100 (out of the 200 possible). Remember that those scores aren't based on the number you scored right, but rather on how well the others who took the test scored.

oh okay, yeah it said 100 was average, but i figured that's like saying the average for SATs is 1000 and even then some colleges want the 1100-1200 range, so i just wanted to know where I was as far as that goes (our school is incredibly vague about what it looks for)

Only your school will be able to tell you what scores they are looking for. I would send them an email, call or maybe talk with your advisor.
