NCLEX Prep by PayneBrain

Pass the NCLEX with a coach in your pocket. NCLEX Prep turns a mountain of material into small, guided steps, with a friendly study guide named Pulse cheering you on.

Every day the app picks three short steps for you: learn something new, practice it, then review what's starting to fade. No planning, no overwhelm. Just open the app and tap Start.

1,000+ NCLEX-STYLE QUESTIONS
Practice across all 8 client-need sections of the NCLEX test plan, with single-answer and select-all-that-apply questions. Every question has a rationale, and a Hint button coaches you on test strategy (prioritization, delegation, therapeutic communication) without giving the answer away.

NEXT GENERATION NCLEX (NGN)
Work through 24 unfolding case studies with a client record that updates as the case unfolds, following all six steps of clinical judgment. Practice every NGN item type: bow-tie, matrix, drop-down, highlight, multiple response and trend, scored with partial credit like the real exam.

AM I READY?
Take an adaptive exam that gets harder or easier with your answers, like the real NCLEX, and stops once it's confident. You get an estimated pass likelihood and a section-by-section breakdown.

LEARN EVERY SECTION, STEP BY STEP
Each section is a colorful guided path:
• Read: 40 bite-size lessons with key points, exam traps and clinical pearls
• Memorize: 32 memory tricks you learn letter by letter, plus 150+ flashcards on a spaced-repetition schedule
• Recall: fill-in-the-blank drills
• Play: a learning game for every section
• Prove: exam-style section quizzes

11 LEARNING GAMES
Delegation Dash, PPE Gear Up, Lab Range Rush, ABG Decoder, Suffix Sleuth, Therapeutic Talk, Position Pro, Milestone Match, Med Match, Priority Sort and Vital Check turn high-yield facts into quick, fun reps.

SMART REVIEW
Every answer is tracked. Review Missed brings back the questions you got wrong, and Weak Spot Drills aim straight at your lowest sections.

A PLAN THAT FITS YOUR EXAM DATE
Set your NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN date and get a daily goal, a countdown and gentle reminders. Add the Question of the Day widget to your Home Screen, and your progress syncs across your devices with iCloud.

100% FREE
Every section, question, case study, game and adaptive exam is free for everyone. NCLEX Prep is supported by ads: you'll see a banner between some cards and a short ad before quiz and exam results, never in the middle of a question. Want a break? Watch one short video and study with no ads for 30 minutes.
