Questions about NCLEX-PN prep

What's included in full NCLEX-PN access?

All 1,092 NCLEX-PN practice questions with an explanation for every answer, 400 flashcards, practice across all 8 Client Needs areas, an 85-question timed mock exam, and your missed questions saved for another try. It works in any browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. App access isn't included.

What if I don't understand an explanation?

Ask AI Rescue, right under the explanation. It can put the idea in simpler terms, quiz you with a fresh practice question or give you a memory trick, and after a miss it explains why your choice was wrong. AI Rescue's answers are AI-generated; the written explanation stays the reference.

How do I know what to study next?

Passy tracks your accuracy in each Client Needs area and names the one to focus on next: the one with your lowest accuracy so far. The Weak Spot challenge then drills it, and every question you miss waits in Fix It until you get it right.

Can I buy access now?

Yes. Pick 30, 90 or 180 days and pay once on the checkout page. Your access starts as soon as your payment is confirmed: you sign in or set up your Passy account and start studying, with no manual approval.

How is the NCLEX-PN different from the NCLEX-RN?

It's a separate exam with its own 2026 PN Test Plan: Coordinated Care (18–24%) takes the place of the RN's Management of Care, and the passing standard is -0.18 logits rather than 0.00. Both are adaptive, with 85 to 150 items in up to five hours.

What score do I need to pass?

-0.18 logits, the standard NCSBN upheld through March 31, 2029. Results are pass or fail, not a percentage.

Does anything change in 2027?

The 2026 PN Test Plan runs through March 31, 2029, so the content stays the same. The U.S. registration fee rises from $200 to $350 on February 1, 2027.

How soon can I retake the NCLEX-PN?

NCSBN allows a retake 45 days after your exam, up to eight times a year. Your nursing regulatory body may require a longer wait or allow fewer attempts, and you need a new ATT.

Is this a subscription?

No. You pay once for 30, 90, or 180 days. It doesn't renew, and you're never charged again unless you buy more time.

How long do I have access?

For the period you pick: 30, 90 or 180 days. Every period includes the same full prep. Access then ends on its own and you aren't charged again; the free resources on this site stay free.

What does one purchase cover?

Full NCLEX-PN access: every NCLEX-PN question, flashcard and practice mode in full prep, for the period you choose. Each exam is its own purchase.

Where will I use it?

On the web, in any browser on a computer, tablet or phone. The NCLEX-PN app is separate, and a web purchase doesn't unlock it. The Android app is on Google Play; the iPhone app is in preparation.

What is the Pass Guarantee?

If you don't pass the NCLEX-PN, we'll refund your Passy purchase and keep your prep access free until your next scheduled attempt. You get both. Covers your first official attempt after you buy, taken while your access is active or up to 30 days after it ends. Claim within 60 days of your exam with your official result. It's separate from the 14-day refund, and it refunds your Passy purchase, not exam fees.

What is the 14-day risk-free guarantee?

If full NCLEX-PN prep isn't right for you, request a full refund within 14 days of purchase. The 14 days start on the day you buy, and the guarantee covers purchases made directly on passyprep.com. It's a refund, not a free trial.

What can I use for free?

20 NCLEX-PN practice questions with explanations, the study planner, the retake planner, and 25 guides. These are Passy web resources on this site: free, with no account, and they stay free whether or not you buy.

Is the NCLEX-PN bank up to date?

Yes, it's updated for 2027. It's built on the 2026 NCLEX-PN Test Plan. It's in effect for exams from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2029, and the bank includes its new Coordinated Care area.

Are these official NCLEX-PN questions?

No. They're exam-style Passy practice questions built around the official NCLEX-PN outline. They aren't official items, and no practice question is guaranteed to appear on your exam.
