What makes the
NCLEX-PN® different.
The practical nurse exam is not a shorter RN exam. It has its own 2026 blueprint. Here is what StudyWithLily practices differently.
Coordinated Care leads the blueprint
The NCLEX-PN® puts more weight on Coordinated Care than the RN exam. You practice the LPN/LVN version of delegation, supervision, and care coordination, where you receive direction and reinforce the plan of care rather than lead it.
Built around the practical nurse scope
PN questions center on data collection, reinforcing teaching, and assisting with the care plan under RN or provider direction. Study With Lily frames scenarios the way the 2026 PN test plan does, not the RN way.
Same Next Gen question formats
The NCLEX-PN® uses the same Next Gen formats as the RN exam: SBA (single best answer), SATA (select all that apply), Matrix, Drop-Down Cloze, BowTie, and Unfolding Case Studies. You can practice each one before test day. BowTie and Unfolding Case Studies need Full Access.
NCLEX-PN® questions.
Yes. The NCLEX-PN® is a separate exam for practical and vocational nurses, built on its own 2026 test plan. It puts more weight on Coordinated Care and frames scenarios around the LPN/LVN scope of practice: data collection, reinforcing the care plan, and working under RN or provider direction rather than leading care. Both exams use the same Next Gen question formats: SBA, SATA, Matrix, Drop-Down Cloze, BowTie, and Unfolding Case Studies.
Yes. Practice is organized around the 2026 NCLEX-PN® test plan. You study the same Client Needs categories the exam uses, and Study With Lily includes every core Next Gen question format.
You can start free with no credit card. The free tier includes 50 total practice questions a month, including up to 15 Coursework questions, adaptive difficulty, instant rationales, and SBA, SATA, Matrix, and Drop-Down Cloze.

Yes. LVN (licensed vocational nurse) is the title used in California and Texas, and LVN students sit for the NCLEX-PN®. Choose the PN exam in Study With Lily to practice from the PN test plan.
The NCLEX-PN® uses the Next Gen formats: SBA (single best answer), SATA (select all that apply), Matrix, Drop-Down Cloze, BowTie, and Unfolding Case Studies. Study With Lily rotates all of them into your sessions based on your difficulty level and the topic you're studying.
Study With Lily's Full Access costs $15/month and combines adaptive NCLEX-PN® practice with Coursework Mode. Upload LPN or LVN program notes when you want questions matched to class material.
If you're sitting for the NCLEX-PN®, this is the right page. If you're in an LPN-to-RN bridge program and preparing for the NCLEX-RN®, head to our LPN-to-RN bridge page instead, which focuses on the RN-level clinical judgment the RN exam tests.
