Why Choose Kaplan?
Know How to Answer Any NCLEX Question
Master the U.S. clinical judgment model through Kaplan’s proprietary Decision Tree method. Instead of trying to translate unfamiliar U.S. clinical standards on your own, our instructors show you how to prioritize care, analyze complex scenarios, and navigate questions with confidence.
Make Every Minute of Your Prep Count
Every hour you spend studying the wrong material is time you can’t get back. Our experienced U.S. nurse educators will help focus your study time around high-yield topics and areas where internationally educated nurses most often lose points.
Practice as Close to Test Day as Possible
The NCLEX-PN tests your decision-making under adaptive difficulty, which rewards a consistent strategy over memorization. By practicing at passing-level rigor with detailed answer explanations, you’ll make U.S. testing conditions feel familiar long before exam day.
Pass, or Get Your Money Back †
You’re investing in your career and your move to the U.S. Protect that investment with the prep program trusted by nurses. If you don't pass on your first attempt, we make it right with a full refund.

Facts About the NCLEX®—and Your NCLEX Prep
You’ve finished nursing school. Now it’s time to practice your profession. Here are a few things you should know about the NCLEX, the licensure exam you need to become a nurse, and your NCLEX prep.
1
The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), aka “The Boards,” is designed to determine that you’ll be a safe and effective nurse throughout your career.
2
When you are eligible to take the NCLEX, you will receive an Authorization to Test (ATT) from Pearson Vue.
3
The computer-based exam costs $200, and is offered throughout the year.
4
The NCLEX-RN exam is pass/fail based on your ability to answer passing-level questions correctly. On Test Day, you will see anywhere from 75 to 265 questions and have up to 6 hours to complete the exam.
5
The NCLEX-PN® exam is pass/fail based on your ability to answer passing-level questions correctly. On Test Day, you will see anywhere from 85 to 205 questions and have up to 5 hours to complete the exam.
6
On NCLEX Test Day, you'll have a maximum of 6 hours to complete the exam, which includes a tutorial in the beginning.
7
There is an optional break after 2 hours of testing, and another optional break after 3.5 hours of testing.
8
Multiple-choice questions on both the NCLEX-RN and the NCLEX-PN have 4 possible answer choices. Both exams also contain multiple-response, fill-in-the-blank, hot spots, chart/exhibit, and drag-and-drop question types.
9
When planning your NCLEX review, Kaplan Nursing suggests you start prepping three months before the exam.
10
During your NCLEX prep with Kaplan Nursing, we recommend you do up to approximately 75 practice questions per day. This will give you the opportunity to evaluate your performance and learn from your mistakes so you don’t repeat them on Test Day.
11
Your NCLEX review period with Kaplan Nursing will also give you time to scout your testing location beforehand, prepare for all possible variables, and eliminate any unwanted stressors that could arise on NCLEX Test Day.
