Build Your NCLEX Review Around the Test Plan
The NCLEX-RN organizes nursing content into Client Needs categories. Use the sections below to review each category, strengthen important concepts, and connect what you study to NCLEX-style practice questions.
Understanding the NCLEX-RN
The NCLEX-RN is designed to evaluate whether a nursing graduate can apply the knowledge and clinical judgment needed to provide safe and effective entry-level nursing care.
Instead of studying nursing topics as isolated subjects, NCLEX preparation requires you to recognize client needs, identify priorities, make safe nursing decisions, and apply what you know to clinical situations.
MyScoreMetrics organizes NCLEX-RN review around these areas so you can study the content, practice related questions, identify weak topics, and return to the areas that need additional review.
