  1. What score range does the PAX exam use for reporting results?

    Answer: Standard scores based on percentile rankings

    Answer: Passage-based questions testing understanding and inference

    PAX reading comprehension tests the ability to understand, analyze, and draw inferences from written passages.

  3. Which is true about PAX exam retake policies?

    Answer: Retake policies are set by each individual nursing school

    The NLN allows retakes but each nursing program sets its own policies regarding waiting periods and how many times a student may retake the PAX.

  4. How should you manage your time effectively during the PAX exam?

    Answer: Keep track of time, move on from difficult questions, and return if time allows

  5. What does a higher PAX percentile score indicate?
