NCLEX Frequently Asked Questions

The NCLEX-PN is a standardized test that each state board of nursing uses to determine if it's safe for you to begin practice as an entry-level nurse. The NCLEX-PN is used for graduates of practical and vocational nursing programs.

It depends. The NCLEX-PN will serve up between 85 and 150 questions and will stop as soon as your competency level has been identified.

To pass the NCLEX-PN, 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. You will need to work your way up in difficulty so that the NCLEX-PN algorithm can identify your passing-level competency with 95% confidence.

Official results will be sent to you approximately six weeks after taking the NCLEX-PN. Some states offer a paid quick results service which allows you to access your "unofficial" results in two business days.

Ideally you'll only take the NCLEX-PN 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.

About the NCLEX-PN

The National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses (NCLEX-PN exam) is administered by individual State Boards of Nursing. The NCLEX-PN is often referred to as "The Boards" or "State Boards." The NCLEX-PN has only one purpose: To determine if it is safe for you to begin practice as an entry-level practical/vocational nurse.

The best guarantee is one you won’t need. But you get it anyway.
