Hello,

I got 137 for the naplex so I took the sample cpje on BOP website to gauge myself. I barely got 73 straight percentage. Is that good enough to pass if the score is scaled? Thanks.

73% is a decent score but remember, the CPJE is curved so it depends on how other students do. Also the CPJE is a different beast than the naplex. CPJE is much more clinical and detail oriented.

is it usually curved in one's favor or against?? I figure a 73% straight percentage is pretty close to a 75 scaled.

I think if you got 75% correct then your score is probably higher than 75.

Thanks for your help. I'm almost there then.

The practice test they give you is way easier then the exam I took. I got around a 75% on the practice exam and knowing it's scaled I was pretty confident and lost my sense of urgency where studying was concerned. When I took the actual test, it seems like I had to take an educated guess on near half the questions. I passed with points to spare, but I was sweating the results.

Assuming one has a good knowledge base, it's all about test-taking skills. A 137 on Naplex verifies that you have good test-taking skills. You could pass CPJE right now with points to spare.
