ExamDragon is independent exam preparation. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or reviewed by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) or Pearson VUE. NCLEX, NCLEX-PN and NCSBN are registered trademarks of NCSBN, used only to name the examination. Every item and guide here is our own, written from NCSBN's published 2026 NCLEX-PN Test Plan. We never accept, use or discuss items from a real NCLEX: NCSBN's candidate rules forbid sharing them.
The rules, as on the day
- 85 to 150 items in five hours. The five hours include any break; optional breaks are offered after approximately two hours and three and one half hours, you may take a break at any other time, and the clock keeps running.
- Items you met in an earlier sitting in this browser are avoided while others remain, as NCSBN does for a repeat candidate.
- One item at a time. You must answer to move on, and once you press Next you cannot go back, as on the exam.
- Three clinical judgment case studies of six items appear within the first 85 items. Fifteen of the first 85 items are unscored pretest items you cannot tell apart.
- After each answer the model re-estimates your ability and picks the next item to match it and to keep the Test Plan's percentages. From item 85 it stops as soon as it is 95% confident your estimate is above or below the passing standard.
- A practice model with our authors' difficulty estimates, not NCSBN's algorithm or item pool. It cannot predict your NCLEX-PN result.
