NCSBN Learning Extension’s
NCLEX RN & PN Review
3-Week Plan
NCSBN’s online NCLEX review course allows 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 3-week course. The time is divided equally among the
3 weeks, anticipating that you will be able to study about 6 hours a day for 5 days each week.
Stay ahead with our supplemental study tools!
Medication Flashcards Mobile App: study thousands of drugs grouped into manageable
categories, all with common actions and effects.
Question Dissection Podcast: understand which response option best answers a question
straight from our NCLEX review course.
