PRC Board Exam Passing Rates Compared - Every Profession We Track (2026 Data Hub)

This page is the single reference we wished existed: recent national passing rates for the professions we track, side by side, from official PRC releases — updated every time a new cycle's results drop.

The Master Table (Most Recent Verified Cycles)

|------|----------------------|--------------|-----------------|

Five Patterns the Table Hides

1. 2026 is a record year across the board. The CLE (66%), LET (67.17%), and the Nov 2025 PNLE (90.04%) all set modern highs — whether from curriculum reforms, better review culture, or cohort effects, the trend is real and worth watching.

2. Cycle timing is destiny. November/main cycles (fresh graduates) crush February/off cycles (retaker-heavy) in every profession. The same exam can swing 45 points between cycles.

3. First-timers vs retakers is the hidden split. Where PRC publishes it, the gap is stark — 87.12% vs 35.87% in the May 2025 PNLE. If you fail once, your strategy must change, not just repeat.

4. School gaps dwarf national averages. Top schools post 99-100% against national rates as low as 34% — our school rankings quantify this per profession.

5. Hard ≠ bad career, easy ≠ good career. Passing rates measure the gate, not what's behind it — pair this table with our salary guides.
