What is your passing percentile?

Published

Right now 76% is passing. I guess next semester they are bumping it up to 80%. Scary- eek!

At my school passing is 75%. 75-79 is a C, 80-89 us a B, and 90 to 100 is an A. Our NCLEX pass rate is over 90%.

Passing grade is 80% at my school. They tell us that is why the school's nclex pass rate is higher than other surrounding schools with lower grading scales. I can see where that makes sense, but it sure makes for a lot of failing students.

our pass rate is 77% and our NCLEX has been 100% for the past two years. So their "theory" is not substantiated by fact.

75 to pass. Last class NCLEX was 100%.

Our school requires and 80% to pass. Extra credit is offered but you are not allowed to use extra credit to pass. It only can be used if you are at or above 80%. An A or 4.0 is 96-100 so extra credit is vital to getting an A especially when the class is only out of 150-200 points. You cannot miss hardly any questions on exams.

Ours is 75% no rounding, but they just bumped it up to 80% for incoming freshman.

Than includes finals-it doesnt matter what grade you have going into finals, if you dont get a 75 or above ON THE FINAL then you have failed the class.

It's 76% in the program that I am in . So far we have one that may not be able to progress to the next semester. We did lose some in the LPN program last year.

We are also one of the schools that is 76%. My understanding is that they will round your grade up at the end of the semester. We will see though...

BTW... We have a pretty good pass rate... and this is also the first semester that they have done the NET so hopefully we hold more students!

ours is 83% in major subjects, 80% in minor, 81% qualifying GPA for next enrolment.

But the formula my school uses is Score / Total no of items x 50 + 50.

Any opinions on this?

78% is passing at my school. All our exams are 50 questions and you can't miss more than 3 to get an A (94-100 is an A).
