What's new in June 2026

Flashcards now show when you'll see each card again for every rating — Again, Hard, Good, and Easy — right on the buttons, so you can see how your choice changes the schedule before you tap.

Reviewing a finished session no longer skips your first question — every answer you gave is there to look back on.

Free members can now see their full personalized study plan, read-only — the whole day-by-day map from your start date to exam day. Upgrading unlocks checking tasks off and rebalancing.

New here? A quick 5-question warm-up now eases you in before your diagnostic exam and study plan, so you get a feel for how BoardPal works right away.

Setting up practice now lets you pick your pool — New questions, ones you got Wrong before, or All — each with a live count, so you always know how many are waiting.

Resuming a session more than a day old now continues right where you left off instead of jumping back to question 1.

Smoothed out scrolling on some Android phones and tablets where a page could feel stuck.

A new History page keeps every practice session and mock board you've taken. Open any finished one to review each question with the answer you chose, the correct answer, and the explanation — find it under Progress → History.

Pick up exactly where you left off, on any device. Start a practice set or a mock section on your phone and continue on your laptop later — your answers and your place are saved to your account, not just one device.

Your progress now matches everywhere — the home screen, the session screen, and where you resume all agree, and you're always dropped back on the first question you haven't answered yet.

The highlighter is easier to use: tap a word to mark it, or just press and drag across several to highlight a whole phrase at once — no more tapping word by word. Drag back over a highlight to clear it.

The highlighter and the cross-out (elimination) tool are now in mock boards and the diagnostic exam too — not just practice. Mark the words that change what's being asked, and rule out options as you narrow it down, just like the real PNLE.

Mock board situations now show on top of the question by default, which is what most people expect. On a larger screen you can still switch the situation to sit beside the question whenever you like.

Practice no longer restarts from question 1 if you refresh, switch apps, or get bumped off mid-session — your set, your answers, and your place are saved on your device and picked right back up.

Tap “Flag for review” on any question you're unsure about. Flagged questions get a gold dot in the numbered grid so you can jump straight back to them — in mock boards and in regular practice, just like the real PNLE.

In mock boards on a larger screen, you can now choose whether the situation sits beside the question (so you don't have to scroll up to re-read it) or stays stacked on top — whichever reads best for you. On phones it's always stacked above the question.

BoardPal is now in beta. Full access is available to the first 200 members and covers you through the August 2026 NLE — you can see exactly what's included under Plans & Pricing.

Practice sessions now have the same numbered question browser as the mock boards. Skip around, revisit earlier questions, and jump straight to any item from the grid — so you can pace yourself just like the real PNLE. In Exam mode your answers are held until you submit the whole set; in Practice mode you still see the rationale right after each answer.

Setting up a practice session is simpler: just choose how many questions and your mode (Practice or Exam). Every set now serves fresh questions you haven't answered yet, and reviewing past mistakes lives in your Review Vault.

Your free diagnostic exam is now yours to review anytime — your results and per-question rationales stay available for good. Premium members can also retake the diagnostic as often as they like to track their progress.

After a practice session, your review now shows the full answer choices — the correct answer and the one you picked — not just the letters.

Fixed a mock board section that could get stuck on “Submitting…”. If a submission is ever interrupted, you're now taken back to the board overview where your progress is safe and the next section is ready to continue.

Fixed Select-all-that-apply questions where the final question line could run into the last numbered statement. The statements and the question now sit cleanly on their own lines.

Corrected the mock board and diagnostic section labels: NP3, NP4, and NP5 now read as Medical-Surgical Parts 1, 2, and 3, matching how the real PNLE splits the exam.

Your Review Vault is now a simpler mistakes pile: questions you miss are added automatically, and they drop off once you answer them right again (or tap “I've got this”). Less bookkeeping, more focus on what you actually got wrong.

Your mock exam now pauses whenever you leave it — switch tabs, minimize, lose connection, or close the page — and credits that time back, so an interruption never costs you exam time.

Redesigned leaderboard: clearer boards, a top-10 podium, and an all-time top-notcher crowned for each mock board — and because a mock is taken once, mock rankings are all-time, so a standout score never drops off the board.

Mixed practice now pulls evenly across all five NP areas, so every set you get is balanced.

Free guides & lessons now live in Resources, and your study plan shows an estimated time for each day.

You'll get a heads-up when a problem you reported has been fixed.

The diagnostic now lets you review the rationale for every question after you finish, no longer lists the same subject as both a weak area and a strength, and asks you to confirm before submitting with unanswered questions.

Tightened the mock boards so the answer choices give less away — part of the ongoing question-quality review.

Polished the mobile header and fixed some flashcards that could accidentally reveal their own answer.

We've started a bank-wide review to retire questions that were too easy and to tighten up the answer choices, so every item better matches the real PNLE. The questions are drawn from the team's reliable, established PNLE review resources and prepared with an agentic workflow, then reviewed and verified by our team. This is ongoing — expect the bank to keep getting sharper over the coming weeks.

The study scheduler no longer forces Sunday as your rest day. Your plan now follows the rest days you actually choose.

In mock boards, the situation paragraph now appears above every question in its set, so you never lose the context.

A What's New page (this one). Tap the bell in the top bar anytime to catch up on the latest improvements — a dot appears whenever there's something you haven't seen.

See where you stand privately — your dashboard now shows your percentile (your top X%) even when you keep yourself off the public leaderboard.

Mixed flashcard review: a new session that pulls due cards from across all your subjects into one spaced-repetition run (Study → Flashcards → Review).

A dedicated Help & Support page gathers the common answers and the fastest ways to reach the team.

A Plans & Pricing page so you can see exactly what's included today and what's on the way (Account → Plans & Pricing).

Your readiness is now one clear Subject readiness view instead of two overlapping trackers.

Clearer study-plan options, including a toggle for whether your diagnostic result shapes the plan.

Tidied up the schedule grid and the cards on mobile for cleaner spacing and alignment.

Your mock board timer became more forgiving of interruptions, with a Resume card to pick up right where you left off.

You'll now get an email when support resolves your ticket or when a GCash payment needs your attention.

Clearer streak rule: any study counts toward your streak — practice questions, flashcards, or mock boards.

Clearer naming so the free mock board and the diagnostic exam are easy to tell apart, and the diagnostic is highlighted so you know to take it first.

Reviewed how your readiness and pass-probability numbers are calculated to make sure they stay honest and accurate.
