Diagnostic
A calibrated baseline test, taken solo, that maps exactly where you stand across coordinated care, safety and infection prevention, and pharmacology before you study anything.
About the NCLEX-PN exam
The NCLEX-PN is NCSBN's licensure exam for graduates of practical and vocational nursing programs who want to work as LPNs or LVNs. It checks safe, entry-level practical-nurse judgment across eight areas, the largest being Coordinated Care at 18-24% of items, followed by Safety and Infection Prevention and Control and Pharmacological Therapies at 10-16% each. Testing is computer adaptive, with 85–150 items (15 of them unscored pretest items, plus clinical judgment case studies) and a five-hour maximum including breaks. You receive a pass/fail result decided against the NCSBN passing standard; no numeric score is reported. The 2026 NCLEX-PN Test Plan has applied since April 1, 2026, keeping the 2023 structure and percentages while adding new activity statements and renaming the safety area. Edureify's plan budgets roughly 90–125 hours of study.
The Edureify Readiness System
Edureify runs on one loop: a Diagnostic maps exactly where you stand across coordinated care, safety and infection prevention, and pharmacology before you study anything, an adaptive Roadmap turns that into a day-by-day plan weighted toward your actual gaps, a self-paced Practice Loop of questions, mock exams, and spaced review builds mastery topic by topic, and an Intervention layer steps in the moment your progress stalls. Every session feeds back into a live Readiness Score that predicts when you'll be exam-ready and names the specific topics still holding you back — not a completion percentage frozen at the end of a course.
Adaptive roadmap
A day-by-day plan built from your diagnostic and rebuilt automatically as you progress — weighted toward your actual gaps, not a generic syllabus.
Practice loop
Practice questions, mock exams, and spaced-repetition review, self-paced, with mastery tracked across coordinated care, safety and infection prevention, and pharmacology.
Readiness prediction
A live score with a predicted ready-by date and the specific topics still dragging it down, recalculated after every session.
Certifying a team for NCLEX-PN, not just yourself?
Edureify also runs as a team platform for L&D leaders: every team member gets the same self-paced diagnostic-to-readiness loop, and managers get a live dashboard showing each person's Readiness Score, predicted ready-by date, and what's specifically holding them back — plus a portfolio view for reporting on NCLEX-PN readiness across the whole team.
How Kaplan Nursing approaches NCLEX-PN prep
Kaplan Nursing is a long-established NCLEX brand. For the NCLEX-PN it sells PassTrack in Self-Paced and Live Online versions (the live course runs 14 hours over two days with Kaplan teachers), a 1,500+ question QBank, its Decision Tree test-taking strategy, and a money-back guarantee with clear conditions.
Kaplan includes diagnostic and readiness tests in the course, and the guarantee requires you to take its readiness test. Its product pages don't advertise a score prediction, an adaptive day-by-day plan or a projected test date, and the AI Tutor Kaplan promotes on its RN QBank isn't mentioned on the PN page.
Edureify takes a different route: a diagnostic across coordinated care, safety and infection prevention, and pharmacology sets your baseline, the roadmap adapts every day, and your Readiness Score and ready-by date update after each session.
Edureify and Kaplan Nursing, feature by feature
Kaplan's NCLEX-PN PassTrack combines faculty-led live sessions, a sizable QBank and a money-back guarantee with clearly stated conditions.
