What percent do you need to answer correctly to pass boards? Do you just need to get 51% correct? I've heard its just more right than wrong... if that's the case then I feel better since every practice test I take I make somewhere from 65% - 75%... :) Anyone heard for sure?

if I understand correctly, you have to get 50% correct at a certain level of difficulty. Since the Saunders/Kaplan/etc reviews are a mix of more and less difficult questions, I am not sure what percentage correct in the review books corresponds to a passing score on NCLEX. For what it's worth, I just found out I passed nclex and I was getting scores in the high 70s in Saunders, and in the mid to low 70s on Kaplan.
