NCLEX-RN®

The National Council Licensure Examination for registered nurses
(NCLEX-RN®) measures the knowledge and abilities necessary for entrylevel
nurses.
  • It is administered by Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT), which individualizes tests to match the unique competencies of each test taker.
  • Each exam adheres to the NCLEX-RN® Test Plan, which describes the content and scope of RN competencies.
  • Practices basic to nursing (e.g., nursing process, caring, teaching, learning, communication, documentation) are integrated throughout, and most questions require application and analysis of information.

Taking the NCLEX-RN® Test on a Computer
  • First: You will receive general information about the exam and the testing center. Your time spent on this will not count.
  • Second: You will take a tutorial on how to use the computer to answer the questions on NCLEX-RN®. Your answers will not count toward your score, but the time you take will be subtracted from the total 6 hours you have for the exam.
  • Third: You will then be presented with real NCLEX-RN® items; there will be between 75 and 265 items. The test ends when it is 95% certain your ability is ↑ or ↓ the passing standard.
