The numbers, drawn
The same rows the table below prints, drawn instead. Three views: the first try beside the state and national rates, what the second try looks like, and where one graduating class ends up. ASWB, 2025 report, checked .
1. The first try
First-time pass rate by exam. Metropolitan State University of Denver in plum, Colorado in gold, the national rate in teal.

3. 104 people sat the Clinical exam for the first time
Each dot is one first-time candidate at Metropolitan State University of Denver, filled if they passed. The repeat sittings below are mostly the same people, coming back.
