How to Read an NCLEX Candidate Performance Report
Understand Above, Near, and Below the Passing Standard without turning broad classifications into fake percentages.
What the CPR can tell you
The Candidate Performance Report identifies broad areas where your performance was Above, Near, or Below the Passing Standard. It can help you decide where to investigate first.
What it cannot tell you
A CPR does not provide category percentages, reveal every missed concept, or explain precisely why an unsuccessful result occurred.
The responsible next step
Use the CPR as directional information, then verify the underlying concepts and reasoning patterns with fresh questions before allocating most of your study time.
