What's your school's cut-off for passing?

[cobee]

The Sac City grading scale thread got me wondering what the cut off percentages are for different schools. At my school your exam scores must average 72% or over. 71.9 is a failing grade. What about your program?

ADN/75% here.

82% is passing, the school is successful at weeding out the people who won't pass NCLEX. We have 100% pass rate. Unfortunately we have lost people who would be very good nurses, and wouldn't have a problem passing NCLEX.

I'm in an ADN program, and we have to score 78% or higher to pass.

Same. 78% or bust!

[That Guy, BSN, RN, EMT-B]

BSN 70 or up to pass

[mspontiac]

ADN program ~ 75%.

In my BSN program, we have to average 70% on our tests (3-4 tests in each class) and then everything else we do is factored in.

74.5 since we round but clinical is pass/fail you can have all a's in classwork but can still fail.

Wow! That is the highest I've heard of. Mine is an 80% and at an 82% I would not have been this far in the program

75=C...74.9=F

We had to have 80% to pass tests, but you had to have a 3.0 GPA to graduate, so B-'s were very much frowned upon.

[Ciale]

Ours is 77% to pass with a C. Anything below is a fail.

We need 85% for a B and 93% for an A.

Ditto. Our school's NCLEX pass rate is 93% which from what I understand is pretty high compared to the National Average. I think it's a good thing we're held to a higher standard (however much stress and lack of sleep it results in)

We have to have an 84% to pass. Our NCLEX pass rate is I believe 97%.
