Overview
Healthcare Examination Preparation is a set of separate review courses, one for each exam, for people who already have a test in front of them. That might be an entrance exam for a nursing or allied health programme, the NCLEX, the Florida CNA exam or a national phlebotomy exam. Each review works from the exam owner’s own published outline, so your time goes on what the test actually measures.
It is built for the stage just before an exam, when the content is familiar but the format, the pacing and the kind of reasoning the questions demand are not.
The limits matter as much as the content. A review course prepares you. It does not make you eligible to sit an exam, and it does not award anything: licences and certificates come from outside bodies. No provider can promise a pass, and we do not claim a pass rate.

The exams
The exams on this page do three different jobs. Entrance exams help a programme decide whether to admit you. Licensure exams feed a Board of Nursing’s decision to license you. Certification exams decide whether an independent body certifies you. Each has a different owner setting the rules.
Entrance exam scores are judged by the school, not the test maker. ATI says it plainly for the TEAS: there is no universal passing score, and each school sets its own minimum.
The NCLEX
The Next Generation NCLEX launched on 1 April 2023, built to better measure clinical judgement and decision-making. The NCLEX-RN and NCLEX-PN now follow test plans that took effect in April 2026. The three figures here come from those plans. The clock keeps running through the introductory screen and every break.
Each case study follows one client through six linked items that mirror NCSBN’s Clinical Judgment Measurement Model: recognise cues, analyse cues, prioritise hypotheses, generate solutions, take action and evaluate outcomes. Other items stand alone. Where an item has more than one correct answer, partial credit is possible. Fifteen items on every exam are unscored pretest questions, and you cannot tell which ones they are.
The exam is adaptive. After each answer the computer re-estimates your ability and chooses the next item to match. Most exams stop once it is 95 per cent certain you are clearly above or clearly below the passing standard. If you sit close to the line, it runs to the maximum. If time runs out first, it scores the items you answered, provided you reached the minimum.
Passing means your final ability estimate is at or above the standard. There is no fixed percentage of candidates who pass, and the length of your exam tells you nothing about your result.
Remediation
Florida law draws a hard line here. Under section 464.008(3) of the Florida Statutes, an applicant who fails the NCLEX three consecutive times, in any jurisdiction, must complete a Board-approved remedial course before the Board will approve them to sit it again. After remediation they may retake the exam up to three more times before remediation is required again, and they must apply for re-examination within six months of finishing it.
Board of Nursing rule 64B9-3.0025 sets what an approved remedial course must include: at least 80 hours of didactic education and 96 hours of clinical experience, with the non-simulated clinical hours completed in Florida. The Board publishes the list of approved providers, with separate RN and LPN sections.
This review course is not that course, and no hours spent with us count towards it. Exam preparation is a choice. Remediation is a legal condition of re-examination, and only an approved provider can meet it.
The CNA route works the same way. Section 464.203 says an applicant who fails the nursing assistant competency examination in three attempts cannot retest until they complete an approved training programme. Our CNA reviews are not approved training programmes.
Study method
The research on how people learn is clearer than most study advice. A 2013 review in Psychological Science in the Public Interest compared ten common techniques. Two came out as high utility: practice testing, and distributed practice, meaning study spread out over time. Underlining, rereading and mnemonic devices were of surprisingly low utility.
Treat each wrong answer as information. Most of the value of a practice question is in the explanation: why the right answer is right, and why each wrong option is wrong.
Use the exam owners’ material alongside ours. NCSBN publishes a candidate tutorial and sample case studies. Prometric offers an online practice exam for the Florida written test, and clinical skills readiness tests.
Medication maths
Medication maths turns up on more than one exam. NCSBN’s 2026 test plans list performing the calculations needed for medication administration for both RN and PN candidates, and the PN plan adds calculating and monitoring intravenous flow rates. The NCLEX puts a calculator on screen. So does the TEAS, which does not allow personal calculators at all.
The calculator is rarely where people go wrong. The errors come earlier: converting units, placing the decimal point, and not noticing that an answer is implausible. The FDA shows why precision matters. A dose written as “5.0 mg” can be misread as 50 mg, and “.5 mg” without its leading zero can be read as 5 mg. Either is a tenfold overdose.
Good preparation means choosing one set-up method and using it every time, estimating before you calculate, and checking each answer against common sense. Private tutoring suits people who need this one skill rebuilt, whatever the exam.
Getting registered
Every exam on this page has its own gatekeeper. Each route runs through its own organisation, with its own application, fee and deadline, none of which we control. The Florida NCLEX route, set out here, has the most moving parts.
Florida also offers Graduate Nurse status, which lets a new graduate practise under the direct supervision of a registered nurse before passing. You must apply within three months of graduating, and the status ends if your first attempt is unsuccessful. That is one more reason to prepare properly for the first sitting.
For the Florida CNA exam, you apply to Prometric, and the Department of Health deems you eligible after an FBI fingerprint background check. For the TEAS, ATI offers online proctoring as well as testing at your institution or a PSI test centre. For the HESI A2 or a phlebotomy exam, ask the programme or certifying body how to book.

Common questions
Straight answers to what students ask us most, including the ones other providers avoid.

(407) 606-7964Never us. A Florida nursing licence comes from the Florida Board of Nursing once you pass the NCLEX and meet its other requirements. The CNA certificate also comes from the Board, after you pass the Prometric exam. Phlebotomy certification comes from the certifying body whose exam you pass.
No. The NCLEX is a national exam developed by NCSBN, and the same test plans apply everywhere. What Florida controls is who is eligible to sit it, who is licensed afterwards, and the remediation rule for repeat candidates.
No. In Florida, three consecutive failures in any jurisdiction mean you must complete a Board-approved remedial course before the Board will approve you to retest. Our review does not meet that requirement. Choose a provider from the Board’s approved list first.
It can, if it targets what went wrong. The Board sends failing candidates a Candidate Performance Report showing relative strengths and weaknesses against the test plan. Florida will not let you schedule a retake until 45 days after your last attempt, so use that gap to study rather than just wait.
No, and nobody honestly can. The result is decided by the exam owner’s scoring, not by the provider who prepared you. What we can do is show you where you stand now and what to work on next.
Prometric offers the written test in English and Spanish, with an audio version you request on your application; Florida law also allows an oral exam in its place on request. The clinical skills test is in English only, and Haitian Creole is not listed as a test language. Our bilingual support, when available, helps you learn the material but cannot change the language you test in.
Assume not, unless we confirm in writing that a fee is included. Exam fees are paid to the exam owner. For reference, Pearson VUE’s NCLEX registration fee for US licensure is $200, and Prometric charges $155 for both parts of the Florida CNA exam. Fees change, so check the owner’s current figure before you budget.
Whichever your programme asks for. The choice is the school’s, and so is the minimum score. Tell us what yours requires and we will point you to the right review.
They are separate products. Each review here focuses on one part of the exam, either the written test or the clinical skills test. The CNA Exam Preparation course has its own page and prepares you for both. Ask us which fits where you are.
There is no single right answer, and we will not invent one. For the NCLEX, the Authorization to Test lasts about 90 days on average, so start preparing before it arrives rather than after.
