NCSBN Learning Extension’s
NCLEX RN & PN Review
15-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 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.
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.
