Grading
Percentile rank, not percent correct, is used for grading. The percentile rank will show you where
students are performing compared to all
... [Show More] students across the country. This information will help
determine how well-prepared students are at the end of a course. Kaplan likes all students to be at or
above the 50th percentile rank - “Half the students performed better than you and half did not”.
Students at the 50th percentile are on the right path to NCLEX success.
Student exam grades are based on the percentile rank received (not percent correct) and a
conversion chart is used to determine the final exam grade. If students do not remediate by
the deadline assigned in the course, the student will receive the percentile rank grade only.
Example: Student places in the 50th percentile rank for Kaplan Integrated Exam. This converts to an
82% exam grade. Remediation handed in late or not done: student receives a 50 for the exam grade.

learning, promotes critical thinking, and supports student success. Remediation should include
