Vol. 01 · Origin Story

Built because someone
saw the problem.

Study With Lily exists so you can study once, not twice. Your coursework and your boards prep should be one continuous path, not two separate, expensive commitments.

Vol. 02 · The Story

Harrison built this
for his wife’s cohort.

Harrison is a software engineer. His wife is a nursing student. He watched her and her classmates deal with expensive, outdated NCLEX® prep. UWorld runs around $59 a month. Kaplan starts at $249. Students were sharing logins, using free resources they couldn't trust, or going without prep entirely.

The clearest problem was this: she was studying the same material twice. Once for her class exams, then again for boards. Every tool she tried had no awareness of what her professors were actually covering. They were generic question banks with no connection to her coursework.

So students started using ChatGPT and NotebookLM to build their own practice questions. But the output was unreliable. Wrong drug doses. Fabricated lab values. Questions that looked right but tested the wrong concept entirely. Harrison saw them studying from material they couldn’t trust. He knew he could build something better.

He started as a side project for his wife's study group. It became Study With Lily: a study partner that takes your uploaded syllabus and lecture notes, builds practice sessions around your actual content, and bridges the gap between your coursework and the NCLEX®. All for $9.99/month.

Study With Lily LLC is based in Arizona. Harrison builds and maintains every part of the platform. If you email harrison@studywithlily.com, he's the one who reads it.

Vol. 03 · What We Stand For

Three things
we don’t compromise on.

Privacy-first

Your data is never sold or shared for advertising. Delete your account and all study data at any time. Period.

Evidence-based

Every question is clinically validated and mapped to the current NCSBN test plan. We don't cut corners on accuracy.

Affordable for students

Nursing school is expensive enough. $9.99/month. No expiring access, no hidden fees, no locking you out the night before an exam.

Vol. 04 · The Methodology

We show our work.

Every question is aligned to the 2026 NCSBN RN Test Plan, built within strict clinical guardrails, and validated through 7 checksbefore you ever see it. Questions are original practice items, not derived from actual NCLEX® exam content.

Four learning science principles drive every session: retrieval practice, spaced review, interleaving, and desirable difficulty. The same methods your best professors use. Lily applies them consistently, every time you open the app.

Vol. 05 · Test Plan Alignment

Built for the
NCLEX® you’re actually taking.

Study With Lily is aligned to the 2026 NCLEX®-RN Test Plan from NCSBN. Every question maps to Client Needs categories and incorporates the Clinical Judgment Measurement Model.

As the test plan evolves, Study With Lily evolves with it. You practice SBA, SATA, BowTie, and unfolding case studies. All the Next Gen formats that show up on your actual exam.

Your feedback
shapes what we build.

Found a question that needs a better rationale? Have an idea for a feature? Just want to say hi? Harrison reads every email himself.

Vol. 09 · The End

your brain learns.

Retrieval at the depth you’ll actually be tested builds the strongest memory. Lily makes every class question boards-grade, so your semester work compounds into boards readiness. That’s the whole product.
