How to read your Minnesota score report

Your report lists a total and a breakdown by area. The breakdown is the useful part, and it is the part most people skim. Upload it and we rank those areas by how many points each is worth on the real exam, which is almost never the same order as your lowest scores. If you want the reasoning first, read how to read your score report, or check what counts as passing in Minnesota. Otherwise, build your roadmap.

Exams available in every state

Beyond Minnesota’s own requirements, around 112 exams are the same test everywhere: the NCLEX, the ASVAB, the SAT and ACT, AP exams, the USMLE and the FINRA series. Those are listed above under “also available”, and you can analyze any of them from Minnesota.
