  • • RN Percentile Rank Verbal – 40
    • RN Percentile Rank Math – 40

    • RN Percentile Rank Composite – 60
• Once the scores are posted, you will want to view the section entitled RN Program Applicants (example below) to interpret your performance. 

In this example score report, the student received a Composite score of 46, a Verbal score of 49, a Math score of 31, and Science score of 51. The student with the score report in this example is not eligible to apply to a Limited Enrollment program with these NLN exam results due to fact that both the Math and Composite Percentile Ranks are each below the minimum required scores.
