Weighted PNLE rating
70.00%
Below 75% weighted — more review needed
Weakest subtest: NP I — Foundations / Fundamentals (70%). That's the biggest lever for your next review cycle.
PNLE rating rules
- Weighted average ≥ 75% across NP I–V (each subtest weighted 20%).
- No individual subtest below 60% — the most common reason passers unexpectedly fail.
- 500 items total — 100 per Nursing Practice subtest.
- No negative marking. Always guess on items you can't solve.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PNLE passing rating?
PRC Board of Nursing sets the passing rating at a weighted average of 75% across the five Nursing Practice subtests, with no individual subtest below 60%. If either rule fails, the overall result is a fail.
How is PNLE scored?
The exam has 500 items split equally across NP I to NP V (100 each). Each subtest is weighted at 20% in the overall rating, so the weighted average is effectively the simple mean of your five percentage scores.
Is there negative marking in the NLE?
No. PRC doesn't deduct for wrong answers in the PNLE, so you should always guess rather than leave blanks. That said, careful elimination almost always beats random guessing, so spend 20 seconds per question and pick the best available option before moving on.
What do most NLE passers score?
The national passing average is usually around 82–85%. Target 85%+ on full-length mocks with every subtest above 70% to give yourself a buffer for the real exam. Super Tutor's NLE review tracks each subtest separately so you know immediately which one needs more work.
