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?

83.9% = failed
84% = passed
I thought maintaining my 3.98 would be fairly easy while in NS; I was so wrong--but I'm passing.

ADN program with BSN completion option. When I started, fail rate was anything below 74%. I just learned that it has recently changed to 80% for the classes that have come after us, but this only affects new students and not those who started before they changed. A is 95%+ with A- being 92% and up. Last semester's NCLEX pass rate was 94%.

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

100-93=A
86-92=B
85-79=C
Below that you fail. LPN/BSN bridge

85% or better is passing, 84% is failing. Our grading scale is pretty high as well--96%+ is an A, 93-95% is an A-, 90-92% is a B+, etc.

At my school we have to have a 77% TEST average to pass without any other grades added in.

80% in academics (includes all graded materials), pass/fail in clinicals, have to pass both to continue
