NCLEX Results for Last 5 Years
The following UCA NCLEX pass rates cover the last 5 years. The UCA data are reported by the number of BSN graduates per semester (Spring/May or Fall/December). The Arkansas State Board of Nursing reports its annual NCLEX pass rates by fiscal year statistics (July 1-June 30). Some May graduates do not take the exam prior to the June 30 cut-off date used by the Arkansas State Board of Nursing (ASBN) and are therefore not included in that year's data.
