Does anyone have any insight into how the NAPLEX is graded? I know that it isn't based on pure %, but how manyquestions right do I need to actucally pass...I see all these scores above 100 and my friends as well getting these scores but I have no clue where I stand..especially with 35 questions not even coutning...can iget half the test wrong and still pass?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

During the Kaplan review, they told us that you need approximately 60% correct for a passing grade.

Thanks for the reply..I actually heard that as well...

What about those experimental questions...do they count for nothing?

No, they don't count at all. You can't tell which ones were experimental, either. I think we all feel like we did poorly because we are accustomed to getting a higher percentage of questions correct in school. The law exam is even worse, because 1/3 of the questions are experimental.

I think everyone I've talked to this year comes out feeling like they failed, then pass.

I came out almost in tears, almost certain I would I have to tell my work I failed (who was depending on me to be licensed)


I got a 124. Nuff said😀

Of the people who passed...did you get questions that were harder at the end?

The say that the adaptive test is like that...the reason I worry is because the questions I got towards the end were not terrible..so I feel I messed up the easy questions.

The question is what consider to be a diifficult question. If you know answer to the question because you have read it, is it hard or easy question?
