A study plan for everyone, plus a practice pool picker
Improved- Improved
Pick your practice pool — New, Wrong before, or All — with live counts. more ▾less ▴
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.

Your study history, and pick up on any device
Improved- Improved
Resume on any device — your answers and your place follow your account. more ▾less ▴
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.
Highlighter and cross-out, now everywhere
Improved- Improved
Highlighter now lets you press and drag to mark a whole phrase at once. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
Mock situations now sit on top by default. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved

Your place is saved, plus flag-for-review
Improved- Improved
Choose whether mock situations sit beside or above the question. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
26Jun · Fri
BoardPal beta, plus a practice question browser
Improved- Improved
Simpler practice setup that always serves fresh questions. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
Your free diagnostic stays reviewable anytime; premium adds unlimited retakes. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
Practice reviews show the full answer choices, not just the letters. more ▾less ▴
After a practice session, your review now shows the full answer choices — the correct answer and the one you picked — not just the letters.
- Improved

Smoother mock boards & clearer labels
Improved- Improved
NP3 to NP5 now read as Medical-Surgical Parts 1, 2, and 3. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
24Jun · Wed
Smarter review, fairer rankings & a smoother exam
Improved- Improved
Your Review Vault is now a simpler mistakes pile. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
Mock exams now pause whenever you leave — no lost time. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
Redesigned leaderboard with a top-10 podium and mock top-notchers. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
Mixed practice now pulls evenly across all five NP areas. more ▾less ▴
Mixed practice now pulls evenly across all five NP areas, so every set you get is balanced.
- Improved
Diagnostic rationales after you finish, and no more contradictory weak areas. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
Mock board answer choices give less away. more ▾less ▴
Tightened the mock boards so the answer choices give less away — part of the ongoing question-quality review.
- Improved

Sharper questions & a smarter schedule
Improved- Improved
A bank-wide review to retire easy questions and tighten answer choices. more ▾less ▴
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.
- Improved
Mock situations now appear above every question in their set. more ▾less ▴
In mock boards, the situation paragraph now appears above every question in its set, so you never lose the context.
