Lily Daily: One Free NCLEX Question, Every Day
Lily Daily delivers one free NCLEX®-style question every day, with streaks, leaderboards, and rationales. Students who self-test retain 61% vs. 40% with re-reading.
Lily Daily: One Free NCLEX® Question, Every Day
You don't need another giant question bank sitting unopened in your bookmarks. You need one question today.
Lily Daily is one free NCLEX®-style practice question, new every day (the day rolls over at 5 p.m. Eastern), at studywithlily.com/daily. No account, no credit card. Show up and answer.
Short version: Lily Daily is a free daily NCLEX® practice question with streaks, leaderboards, and full rationales. Questions rotate across the Client Needs categories in the 2026 NCLEX-RN® Test Plan. You don't need to sign up to play.
How Does It Work?
Every day a new NCLEX®-style question goes live. Read the stem, pick your answer, lock it in. After you submit, you get:
- A detailed rationale on why the correct answer is right and why every other option isn't
- Community stats showing what percentage of students got it right and how long they took
- A countdown to tomorrow's question
Questions are pulled from Study With Lily's question bank and rotate across the Client Needs categories in the 2026 NCLEX-RN® Test Plan, in Single Best Answer and Select All That Apply formats, and they follow the 2026 NCLEX-RN® Test Plan.
Expect cardiac one day, pharmacology the next, then pediatrics.
Streaks: Show Up Every Day, Build Momentum
Lily Daily tracks your streak, the number of consecutive days you've answered.
Your streak counts every day you attempt the question, right or wrong. It rewards showing up, not being perfect.
Milestones hit at 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, and 90 days. Miss a day and your streak resets, so build the habit around something you already do, like your morning coffee or the ride to clinical. Your longest streak is always saved.
Leaderboards: See Where You Stand
Two leaderboards run alongside each day's question:
Speed Leaderboard: The 20 fastest correct answers for today's question. Get it right quickly and you're on the board.
Streak Leaderboard: The 20 longest active streaks across signed-in Lily Daily users. This one rewards consistency. Get today's question wrong and it doesn't matter. Someone who showed up 45 days straight outranks someone who got 10 right in a row but skipped last Tuesday.
You need a free Study With Lily account to appear on leaderboards. But you can play every day without one.
No Account Required
You can start answering right now. Lily Daily tracks your streak locally in your browser, so there's no email or password. If you create a free account later, your browser streak can carry over to it, and a free account saves your streak across devices.
We made it this easy on purpose. The hard part of studying for NCLEX® is showing up, and a signup form shouldn't stand between you and today's question.
Why One Question a Day Works
It comes down to how memory works. Students who tested themselves recalled 61% of material after one week, versus 40% for students who only re-read their notes (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006).
One question won't replace a full study plan. It does two things a big question bank often doesn't:
- It builds the habit. You can't cram consistency. Ninety seconds a day makes daily NCLEX® practice normal, and that carries over to your longer sessions.
- It fights the forgetting curve. Every time you pull clinical knowledge out of memory, even for one question, you slow the decay. That's how spaced repetition works, and Lily Daily is the lowest-effort version.
