NCSBN’s Reviews for the NCLEX-RN® & NCLEX-

PN®
15-Week Plan

NCSBN’s Reviews for the NCLEX-RN® & NCLEX-PN® allow you to study at your own pace, giving you unlimited 24-hour access to
student nursing content, exam practice questions, and many other NCLEX preparation resources. The recommended time required
to complete the review course at a slow and thorough pace is approximately 85 hours; however, you determine how much or how
little time you want to spend on the review.

The following schedule is for those individuals who want a more prescriptive plan for how to use our 15-week course. This plan
considers that you are working 5 days a week and can only study on the other two days of the week; the time is divided equally
among the 15 weeks. Of course, you can set up your study schedule in any way the best suits your learning needs.

Customize your NCLEX review using our free Medication Flashcards Mobile App. Test your knowledge of commonly prescribed
medications and therapeutic drug classifications while you learn interesting, fun and important facts.
