Over 15,000 Nursing Students Share Their Exam Results
An essential component in our continued pursuit of excellence is a bi-annual survey sent to all nursing students that use our question bank (QBank) for the NCLEX-RN® or NCLEX-PN® exam preparation.
Although we pride ourselves on producing only the highest quality educational content that is created by practicing clinicians and professional nursing instructors, we value the on-the-ground feedback from students who use our product.
This feedback is an important part of the ongoing quality process we employ to ensure our educational material is the industry standard for nursing instruction and high-stakes exam preparation.

What else do students tell us?
The best advice I can give to someone who is preparing for the NCLEX is to USE UWORLD! I cannot emphasize this enough. UWorld covers the most important content and is SO detailed. After taking my NCLEX, the 48 hours after my test were not agonizing because I felt confident that I had passed. Thanks, UWorld!"
The UWorld QBank accurately depicted the questions posed on my NCLEX exam. The difficulty level combined with the rationalizations fully prepared me for what I experienced. I believe that the utilization of UWorld...before the exam will give anyone an excellent, comprehensive review and a huge ‘leg up’ in passing the NCLEX on the first try.”
The UWorld QBank helped me gauge my learning, and the rationales were so in-depth, all while getting straight to the point. I couldn’t find that in an NCLEX review book, which goes over everything and anything. “
