Once you pass the NCLEX-PN: What’s next?
Frequently asked questions
What is the Next Generation NCLEX-PN?
The Next Gen NCLEX-PN is the latest version of the NCLEX-PN licensure exam, designed to better test a nurse’s ability to make safe, effective clinical decisions. Developed by the NCSBN, it focuses on clinical judgment – the critical thinking process nurses utilize to assess situations, prioritize patient care and respond accordingly. Using the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model (CJMM), the Next Gen NCLEX-PN tests how effectively candidates apply reasoning and judgment to real-life nursing situations.
How many questions are on the NCLEX-PN?
The NCLEX-PN includes 85 to 150 questions based on a computer-adaptive testing (CAT) format that evaluates your nursing competency. You’ll have up to 5 hours for completion, including two optional breaks. Pace yourself so you leave enough time to adequately respond to each question. The test ends when the system is 95% certain that your competence is above or below the passing standard. The Next Gen NCLEX-PN explores real-world nursing scenarios with new question types that include: Case Studies items: Matrix multiple-choice, Matrix multiple-response, Multiple-response, Drag-and-drop, Drop-down, Table, Highlight Standalone items: Bow-tie items, Trend items

How long does it take to get NCLEX-PN results?
You can receive unofficial results two (2) business days after the exam with a NCLEX Quick Results option (available in many states). While not official, they are typically reliable and provide faster peace of mind. Your state nursing regulatory boards (NRB) will issue your official licensure test results typically within six weeks of taking the exam. You’ll need your official results for your nursing licensing.
How many times can you take the NCLEX-PN? Is there a waiting period?
You can take the NCLEX-PN up to 8 times per year, with a 45-day waiting period between retakes (varies slightly per state). If you did not pass the NCLEX-PN, carefully review your NCLEX Candidate Performance Report (CPR), a detailed, two-page breakdown of your performance across subject areas. Use this CPR to target weak areas to improve for your next attempt. Target high-yield questions for key subjects to boost your next exam score.
