     Flashcard buttons show when you will see the card again for each rating. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   • Fixed
     Session reviews no longer skip your first question. more ▾less ▴

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

   A study plan for everyone, plus a practice pool picker

   NewImprovedFixed

     Free members can see their full study plan, read-only. more ▾less ▴

     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
     A 5-question warm-up eases you in before the diagnostic. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   • 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.

   • Fixed
     An older session now resumes where you left off, not at question 1. more ▾less ▴

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

   Your study history, and pick up on any device

   NewImprovedFixed

   • New
     New History page — reopen any finished session or mock to review every answer. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   • 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.

   • Fixed
     Your progress count now lines up across the home screen, sessions, and resume. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   Highlighter and cross-out, now everywhere

   ImprovedNew

   • 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.

   • New
     Highlighter and cross-out tools are now in mock boards and the diagnostic exam. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   • 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.

   Your place is saved, plus flag-for-review

   FixedNewImproved

   • Fixed
     Practice keeps your place after a refresh — no more starting over. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   • New
     Flag questions you're unsure of and jump back to them, PNLE-style. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   • 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.

   BoardPal beta, plus a practice question browser

   NewImproved

   • New
     BoardPal beta is here — full access for the first 200 members. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   • New
     Practice now has a mock-style question browser — skip, revisit, and jump around. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   • 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.

   Smoother mock boards & clearer labels

   FixedImproved

   • Fixed
     Mock sections no longer get stuck on “Submitting…”. more ▾less ▴

     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 now read cleanly. more ▾less ▴

     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.

   • 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.

   Smarter review, fairer rankings & a smoother exam

   ImprovedNewFixed

   • 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.

   • New
     Free guides moved to Resources, and plan days show an estimated time. more ▾less ▴

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

   • New
     You get a heads-up when a problem you reported is fixed. more ▾less ▴

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

   • 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.

   • Fixed
     A tidier mobile header, and flashcards no longer reveal their own answer. more ▾less ▴

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

   Sharper questions & a smarter schedule

   ImprovedFixedNew

   • 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.

   • Fixed
     Your plan now follows the rest days you actually choose. more ▾less ▴

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

   • 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.

   • New
     This What's New page, with a bell and an unread dot. more ▾less ▴

     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.
