UWorld was my main study resource for the NCLEX-RN. I averaged in the 60s, got a “Very High” chance of passing on my first self assessment and a “High” chance of passing on my second. I passed the NCLEX last weekend in 75 questions. I highly recommend UWorld as a resource. I did not follow a study schedule like some do. I’m the mom of an 18-month-old and mostly would do spurts of 15-30 timed and tutored questions when I had the time. I took my first self assessment a month prior to when I thought the exam would be (mine was rescheduled for a month later due to a snowstorm) and I took the second self assessment two days before my exam. Though I got great results from UWorld, I only gave 4 stars because making flash cards was a selling point for me and I could never figure out how to do it right or how to do it in a way to benefit me. I wish I could have starred questions that I really wanted to come back to review what I wanted in an easier way. UWorld is way harder than the NCLEX but it helped me most with practicing those dreaded SATA questions and highlighting my weaknesses. The rationales are great. Using UWorld, memorizing labs, and brushing up on nurse education/nurse prioritization is the only thing I would tell my past, pre-NCLEX, super anxious self to focus on.

I used uworld in my last semester in advanced med surg/ critical care and through studying for NCLEX. I bought the $200 subscription that comes with the test bank & two practice test. I think this app is good at being a tool to make sure you get the “meat and potatoes” of what you need to know necessary to all the topics they have. It has good explanations and although it didn’t have that many questions for critical care I think it helped me understand better and is good to go over in a study group. As for the NCLEX I passed with 75 questions and I did the test bank and for both practice tests it said I had a high chance of passing. And don’t worry even if it doesn’t it gives a good overview on what you need to go back over!! I think this is a good tool for all nursing students but especially the ones that learn from doing a lot of questions like me. This also was a big help for my exit exam for my nursing school. So I recommend uworld even if you get it for the cheapest one just to read those explanations and have a decent amount of questions that you can take notes and write flash cards from. It’s much easier to retain since it is summed up precisely. Thank you Uworld!!!

By no means is UWorld going to do the work for you, but it is true that the questions are almost exactly like NCLEX questions and UWorld tests even look almost exactly like the NCLEX itself. I took my first assessment one week before my NCLEX and got a “high” chance of passing, after doing about 100 practice questions a week for 6 weeks. I then did 75 questions a day that week and took my second assessment the day before my NCLEX and got a “very high” chance of passing. On test day, the exam shut off at 75 questions and I knew I passed. UWorld was 100% worth the money. But DONT only prepare yourself to answer 75 questions, because then you won’t have the mental stamina to continue if you don’t pass in 75 (which means nothing). I recommend doing at least 100 questions in one sitting 3-4 times before you take the NCLEX. Also, tutor mode is helpful in the beginning but I would turn it off after 1-2 weeks of studying because it will better simulate the NCLEX experience without it on, but still read the rationales for every question (whether or not you answered it correctly).
