The NCLEX® Program Reports are electronic reports that provide a wealth of statistics about the performance of the graduates from a particular nursing education program. The Reports are created using the responses provided by a program’s graduates during their NCLEX® administration and are the only source of information about the performance of a program’s graduates at the topic level which use actual NCLEX® data.
The NCLEX® Program Reports are designed to help nursing program administrators and educators understand how their graduates performed on the NCLEX® at the topic level. They are a vital source of information for program evaluation and program improvement. Educators use the Reports to identify strengths and opportunities, track program growth, reform curriculum, and modify instructional methodology.
Since each educational program graduates a different set of students, the NCLEX® Program Reports are specific to each educational program. The information provided in the NCLEX® Program Reports describes the performance of the group of students graduating from an educational program. They do not provide information about the performance of individual students.

PDF File
Each edition of the NCLEX® Program Reports is provided as a single PDF file which makes it easy to view, print or e-mail with Adobe Acrobat Reader. The PDF version of the Reports makes it easy to read, analyze and interpret the performance of a single program during the current and prior reporting periods. This format also allows educators to copy and paste the tables and charts from the NCLEX® Program Reports into reports or presentations, making it easy to provide information to key stakeholders about the strengths and opportunities of their nursing program.
Supplemental CSV Files
In addition to the PDF version of the Reports, educators can also purchase a set of Supplemental CSV Files which contain the exact same information as the PDF version but are formatted as structured data files which make it easy for educators to analyze their program's performance using many common spreadsheet, database and statistical software applications. As the name suggests, the Supplemental CSV Files supplement the PDF file and must be purchased along with their corresponding PDF file. Supplemental CSV Files do not need to be purchased at the same time as the PDF files.
