Not another question bank. A complete adaptive testing platform engineered to mirror the real NCLEX experience.
CAT Exam Simulator
The Only NCLEX Prep with a Real CAT Engine.
Most platforms shuffle questions at random. We use an IRT 3-parameter logistic model that computes a maximum likelihood ability estimate (theta) after every answer — the exact approach used by NCSBN.
- 3 exam modes: Full CAT (85–150 q), Domain CAT (30–40 q), Practice Mode
- Theta-based ability tracking on a 1–5 scale updated after every response
- 95% confidence interval stopping rule (same as NCSBN for full CAT)
- Domain diversity balancing — 4-question streak cap per domain
- 5-hour session timer with idle detection
- Unfolding case study integration (6-question patient scenario blocks)
