Format
The NCLEX-RN is a computer-adaptive test (CAT), meaning the difficulty of the questions adjusts based on the test-taker’s ability. The exam consists of multiple-choice questions, as well as other formats such as fill-in-the-blank, hot spots, and drag-and-drop. The number of questions can range from 75 to 265, and candidates have up to six hours to complete the exam.

Scoring System
The NCLEX-RN uses a pass/fail scoring system. The test does not provide a numerical score but rather determines if the candidate has met the minimum competency required to practice nursing safely. The computer algorithm assesses whether the candidate’s performance is above or below the passing standard.
