Find out how to read your score report.

The score report will indicate whether or not you passed the exam. If you pass, your results will also include information about the number of questions answered correctly and incorrectly and your total time to complete the test.

On the other hand, if you don’t pass on your first attempt, there are steps you can take to improve your chances in retesting:

• Review your performance on each question and determine what types of errors caused you to miss particular questions (e.g., calculation errors or wrong answer choices). You should also review how long it took for you to complete each section of the exam so that next time around, when taking another test from our pool of sample exams or actual content bank questions, we can know how well prepared for an NCLEX-RN® exam with regards to timing issues during a test.”
