The NCLEX exam, also known as the National Council Licensure Examination, is a standardized exam that each state board of nursing uses to determine whether or not a candidate is prepared for entry-level nursing practice. But your first step is to successfully complete an accredited nursing degree.
The harder the questions you‘re getting, the higher the logit score. According to a recent release from the NCSBN, the passing logit score for the NCLEX-RN (through 2019) is 0.00. Basically, this means that you need to be answering the medium difficulty questions correctly at least 50% of the time to pass.
The NCLEX exam costs $200 which is paid to Pearson Vue at the time you register. However, when you budget your money for this next step, you need to be aware of the additional costs you may face.
