Frequently asked questions

The NCLEX-RN is a licensure examination that assesses whether a candidate can practise safely as an entry-level registered nurse. NCSBN develops the examination; Pearson delivers it. Eligibility and licensing requirements are set by your nursing regulatory body.Read the official guidance

The exam has 85–150 items and allows up to five hours, including breaks. It uses Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) to estimate ability against a passing standard. It can stop under the confidence-interval, maximum-length or time-limit rule. Your result is pass or fail; it is not based on a fixed percentage correct.Read the official guidance

The 2026 NCLEX-RN Test Plan applies from April 2026 through March 2029. RN Clarity groups practice into the four broad Client Needs categories and their content areas. Use the NCLEX-RN Hub for the current blueprint and the official test plan for the complete category definitions.Read the official guidance

NGN questions assess clinical judgment. The exam includes three six-item case studies (18 items) plus standalone clinical-judgment items, approximately 10% depending on exam length. Cases follow six steps: recognize cues, analyze cues, prioritize hypotheses, generate solutions, take action and evaluate outcomes.Read the official guidance

The main Question Bank contains 3,333 questions. Separately, the NGN library contains 250 case studies with six items each (1,500 case-linked items) and 500 standalone NGN items. The NGN total is 2,000 items; these are not another 2,000 case studies. Every paid plan includes the full Question Bank and both NGN libraries, subject to its daily usage allowance.Open the related page

A weak-area label describes your practice evidence, not your ability to care for a real patient or your final exam result.Open the related page

No. These scores describe your performance on RN Clarity practice items. Use them alongside your topic coverage and recent mistakes to decide what to study next. They are not a validated probability of passing the NCLEX and do not guarantee an exam outcome.Open the related page

RN Clarity has 15 full-length and 50 snack-size fixed-form practice mocks. They do not adapt like the real NCLEX. A separate CAT-style Adaptive Exam Simulator is included in each paid plan; it uses RN Clarity practice difficulty and does not use the NCLEX's official calibration or predict a pass. Read each start screen for item count, timing and break rules.Open the related page

Open the Tutor beside a practice question to ask about its reasoning, or use AI Tutor from the dashboard for general study questions. Daily message limits depend on your plan.
