What Our
Students
Are Saying
“I hadn't been successful in passing my first attempt at NCLEX-RN using Archer & Uworld. I believe that maybe I hadn't been able to sharpen my critical thinking skills as needed for this exam. Nclex is COMPLETELY different than any nursing exam i've taken and I tried to study for it the same way I would in school. Kaplan's Study Plan gave me a step-by-step path to success. I was able to also participate in their LIVE classes on The Channel and ask whatever questions I needed to their knowledgeable and friendly instructors. I was also able to watch past recorded lectures on over 100 topics covered on the exam. Thank you Kaplan for helping me prepare in a more efficient way! I PASSED my exam in 85 questions this past July 2023 after having used Kaplan's self-paced 6 month program.”

Learn From Your Mistakes
Start your NCLEX test prep preparing 3 months before the NCLEX exam and do about 75 practice questions per day. This way, you can evaluate your performance and learn from your mistakes so you don’t repeat them on test day.
Are You Ready to Face the New NCLEX?
The NCLEX-RN exam is a standardized test that each state's board of nursing uses to determine if it's safe for a graduate of a registered nursing (RN) program to begin practicing as an entry-level nurse.
NCLEX Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN)?
The Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) is an updated version of the NCLEX that further assesses nursing candidates' abilities to apply clinical judgment skills and make safe, effective decisions. It includes new question types and case sets that are mapped to the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Clinical Judgement Measurement Model. NGN has been administered since April 2023.
How many questions are on the NCLEX-RN?
It depends. The new NCLEX serves up between 85 to 150 questions and will stop as soon as your competency level has been identified.
How do you pass the NCLEX-RN?
To pass the NCLEX-RN, you have to demonstrate that your level of competency is above the minimum standard. As you answer questions correctly, you'll be given increasingly difficult questions, and you will need to work your way up in difficulty so the NCLEX-RN algorithm can identify your passing-level competency with 95% confidence. Answering questions correctly will require both nursing content knowledge and critical thinking skills; at Kaplan, we recommend you study with a mix of content, strategy, and practice.
How long does it take to get NCLEX-RN results?
Official results will be sent to you approximately 6 weeks after taking the NCLEX-RN. Some states offer a paid quick results service which allows you to access your "unofficial" results in 2 business days.
How many times can you take the NCLEX-RN?
Ideally you'll only take the NCLEX-RN one time. However, if necessary you are allowed to retest 45 days after the administration of your previous exam. Candidates are permitted to take the exam 8 times in a calendar year, depending on the state.
The best guarantee is one you won’t need. But you get it anyway.
