Just curious as I will be taking it on June 2. I know the national passing average is around 96% (passing being 75 or higher). I took one of the pre-NAPLEXs offered by NABP on their web-site. My ranged score was 110-130 (without having studied for it yet )but I am not sure how well it will correlates with the real thing. My real qualm (sp) is should I bother studying for it or should I just go play golf?
 
Sounds to me like you're ready for it. I didn't take the prep test, so I can't tell you how well it correlates. But 110-130, while quite a broad range, is a couple of standard deviations above passing. So if all you care about is passing, you're probably fine. Go play golf.
 
it is easy as hell, you don't really have to study for it. Just study a little for the law part.:laugh:
 
More people fail the law portion than the actual NAPLEX. Be careful, I know that there have been some major changes to the law of some states in the last year. Studying notes from 2 years ago might not be a good idea.
