Report descriptions and examples

This section provides details on the Candidate Report that is available through the NCLEX administration website.

Candidate Performance Report

The Candidate Performance Report is a letter indicating whether or not a candidate passed an NCLEX exam. If the candidate failed, the report also includes information to help candidates interpret their performance and prepare for retaking the exam. Nursing Regulatory Bodies are responsible for sending these letters to candidates who take the exam. This report is delivered in PDF format.

This report can be generated in the following ways:

To select specific candidates for whom you want to print results reports, display the Result Available page or the On Hold for Results page. After you submit the request from one of those pages, your report request will appear on the Requests page like any other report.
On the Registration Details page, select the Generate Candidate Report link that appears for registrations with a Result Available status. You must be assigned the RegStatus (may edit registration status) permission.

Note

It is the Nursing Regulatory Body’s responsibility to send a Candidate Report to candidates. It is also the Nursing Regulatory Body’s responsibility to send the Candidate Performance Report to candidates who did not pass the exam.

The Candidate Report may or may not show a candidate’s photo. Whether the candidate’s photo is displayed depends on a setting in the jurisdiction’s profile called Use Candidate Photo on Reports.
