Questions students ask about NCLEX® prep prices.

How much does NCLEX® prep cost in 2026?

Published RN packages run from $15 a month to $449 for two years of access. For about three months of NCLEX-RN® prep, the packages we checked cost: Study With Lily $45 to $50, NURSING.com $99, Archer $129, Bootcamp $129, SimpleNursing $139, UWorld $229, and Kaplan $349. These are example packages read from each provider's site on September 12, 2026; promotional prices change, so confirm the package and total before paying.

What is the cheapest way to practice NCLEX® questions?

Free. NCSBN publishes a free sample pack with RN and PN case studies at nclex.com, Nurseslabs offers 1,000+ free questions with rationales and no account, and Study With Lily's free plan includes 50 total practice questions a month, including up to 15 Coursework questions with no credit card, plus a free daily NCLEX® question and a free daily NCLEX-PN® question that need no account. Most paid providers also offer a short trial or demo access.

Why is Study With Lily cheaper than UWorld or Kaplan?

The packages include different things. UWorld and Kaplan bundle video instruction, and Kaplan teaches a named test-taking method through recorded lessons. Study With Lily is question practice: adaptive questions with answer and option rationales, topic results, timed simulation, and Coursework practice from your own class materials, with no video course or live classes. Pay for the tools you will use.

Do these prices cover NCLEX-PN® prep?

The competitor packages on this page are NCLEX-RN® examples. Most providers sell a separate PN product with its own price; check it if that is your exam. Study With Lily includes RN and PN practice in the same plans, so the prices in our row apply to both.

Which NCLEX® prep plans renew automatically?

Monthly plans from Study With Lily, NURSING.com, and SimpleNursing renew until canceled. Study With Lily's 4-month and Lifetime plans, SimpleNursing's 90-day pass, and NURSING.com's 3-month plan are one payment. UWorld, Archer, Bootcamp, and Kaplan sell fixed access periods that end on their own.
