Frequently asked questions
The Next Generation NCLEX-RN (NGN) is an enhanced version of the NCLEX exam that will evaluate nursing candidates’ clinical judgement skills and ability to make safe and effective decisions. The NGN will feature new question types and case sets that align with the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Clinical Judgement Measurement Model. Starting in April 2023, nursing candidates will take the NGN as part of the licensure process. Lecturio’s NCLEX-RN Qbank contains all NGN question types.
The number of questions on the NCLEX-RN exam varies between 85 to 150, and it uses a Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) algorithm. The exam will end as soon as your competency level has been identified.
To pass the NCLEX-RN exam, you must demonstrate competency above the minimum standard. As you answer correctly, the difficulty level of the questions will increase, and you will need to work your way up in difficulty so that the NCLEX-RN algorithm can identify your passing-level competency with 95% confidence. Answering questions correctly requires nursing content knowledge and critical thinking skills. At Lecturio, we with a combination of content, strategy, and practice to increase your chances of success.
You can expect to receive official results of the NCLEX-RN exam approximately 6 weeks after taking it. However, some states offer a paid quick results service that allows you to access your unofficial results within 2 business days.
While it’s recommended to pass the NCLEX-RN exam on the first try, if needed, you are allowed to retest 45 days after your previous exam. Depending on the state you are testing in, candidates can take the exam up to 8 times in a calendar year.
Most students dedicate between 4 and 8 weeks to studying for the NCLEX. Whatever your pace looks like (and how much time you can spare), the most important thing is to plan out a schedule and stick to it!
