Why Educators Trust UWorld Nursing
Quality isn't just a buzzword at UWorld. It's the cornerstone of our approach. Our biannual student surveys ensure our content remains best-in-class. Every question, video, and rationale is continuously refined based on student feedback — so you can trust their effectiveness.
“A lot of people I know really have [it] in their heart that UWorld is for students, but we have a different approach. We think it's for [educators]. And it was a game changer.” - Lori Boyd, Vocational Nursing Director, Weatherford College in Weatherford, Texas
Former National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) item writers, practicing nurses, and seasoned nursing educators ensure our NCLEX review content meets the highest standards of nursing instruction.
UWorld by the Numbers — Who Uses Our NCLEX Review?
In our April 2025 survey, 62% of respondents were in the United States, 17% were from Canada, and 21% were in other countries. With over 10,000 responses, these insights provide a powerful snapshot of our diverse learning community.
We surveyed UWorld students and received 10,000 completed survey responses.
90% of respondents were RN test-takers, and the other 10% were PN test-takers.
71% of NCLEX-RN respondents and 68% of NCLEX-PN respondents were first-time test-takers.
The Link Between Practice and NCLEX Success
Educators using our NCLEX Learning Platform gain access to a grade book and reporting dashboard that provides deeper insights into student performance.
Students receive reporting on:
- Scored / Max: Total points earned versus maximum possible
- Correct: Number of correctly answered questions
- Incorrect: Number of incorrectly answered questions
- Omitted: Skipped questions for review
- Average Time per Question: Measures pacing and test-taking efficiency
These insights allow you to monitor student engagement, identify knowledge gaps, and assess preparedness for the NCLEX. With real-time data, faculty can provide targeted support and intervention strategies to improve student outcomes.
For students who purchase a UWorld NCLEX subscription independently, a good UWorld QBank score is determined by their percentile rank (p-rank) compared to other test-takers. Students should aim for a p-rank at or above the 50th percentile across all subject areas to maximize their chances of passing the NCLEX.
Student Self-Assessments — Results They Can Trust
Our self-assessments provide a reliable way for students to evaluate their NCLEX preparedness and identify areas needing improvement. Designed to mimic the NCLEX format, these assessments offer a realistic testing experience while giving students a clear indication of their performance.
- Performance Predictions: Students who score “high” or “very high” on self-assessments are more likely to pass the NCLEX on their first attempt.
- Detailed Score Reports: Identifies strengths and weaknesses across key content areas.
- Timed Testing Mode: Helps students build confidence and improve pacing for exam day.
You can leverage self-assessment results to track student progress and provide targeted interventions for improved outcomes.
Faculty Assessments — A Smarter Way to Evaluate NCLEX Readiness
Our faculty assessments offer you a powerful tool to measure student readiness and identify areas for improvement before they take the NCLEX. These assessments provide actionable insights to help you track student performance and support targeted remediation.
- Unique Questions: Includes exclusive items not found in the student QBank or student assessments to ensure a fresh evaluation of knowledge.
- Comprehensive Reporting: Delivers in-depth performance analytics to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses at individual and cohort levels.
- NGN-Aligned: Reflects the latest NCLEX-RN Test Plan, preparing students for exam-like conditions.
