NCLEX-RN AND NCLEX-PN IN ONE APP
Pick your exam and everything follows it: the question mix across the Client Needs categories, the case studies, the adaptive mock and your readiness estimate. Switch anytime.

CLINICAL-JUDGMENT CASE STUDIES
Unfolding cases across medical-surgical, pediatric, obstetric, mental health, emergency and long-term care.
• Six linked items per client, one for each step of clinical judgment, from recognize cues to evaluate outcomes
• Chart notes, vitals and labs that unfold as the case progresses, in tabs like the exam
• Scored with partial credit, with a rationale for every choice you made

NEXT GEN ITEM TYPES
• Highlight the cues in a chart note
• Matrix tables, drop-down cloze sentences and select-N questions
• Drag-to-order actions, bow-tie and trend items
• Select-all and numeric entry, with plus/minus, zero/one and rationale scoring explained after every item

ADAPTIVE MOCK EXAM
• 85 to 150 questions over up to 5 hours, drawn in the test plan's proportions
• Difficulty adapts to your answers, and the exam stops as soon as it is confident whether you are above or below the passing standard
• Three case studies worked into the mock, the way the exam does it
• Your ability estimate as it settled, with a breakdown by Client Needs category; leave anytime and the timer pauses

STUDY MODES THAT BRING YOUR MISSES BACK
• Daily Review: spaced repetition brings questions back right before you would forget them
• Second tries and follow-ups: a miss returns at the end of the quiz, after a different question on the same idea
• Trouble Questions: everything you have missed three or more times, in one drill
• Final-week review: past misses return over the 7 days before your exam
• Question of the Day, Level Up, custom quizzes by category and difficulty, timed quizzes, Missed Questions and Weakest Category
• A daily goal tied to your exam date, or a set number a day

DETAILED RATIONALES WITH SOURCES
Every question explains why the correct choice is correct and why each wrong choice is wrong, and lists the references behind it.

RHYTHM STRIPS AND STUDY SHEETS
• Rhythm Strip Drill: timed rounds of ECG strips that sweep like a live monitor
• 30+ one-page summaries of high-yield topics, from sepsis, shock and ABGs to electrolytes, DKA, antidotes, burns, obstetric and pediatric emergencies, each with its sources
• Notebook: flashcards and your own notes in one place
