Level 6
Level 6 · Retake diagnostic (mixed)
A timed mixed practice exam of 100 NCLEX-RN-style questions across all clinical subjects, with three case studies, select-all-that-apply items and full rationales, built to show which areas need review before a retake. It is a study aid, not a prediction of any exam result. NCLEX and NCLEX-RN are registered trademarks of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), which is not affiliated with HoneNURSE. For education only. Not clinical advice.

How the exam works
- One question per screen. Once you move on, you cannot go back to an earlier question.
- You have 140 minutes. The timer starts when the exam opens and keeps running, even if you leave the page. When time runs out, the exam is submitted with the answers you have saved.
- Your answer is saved after every question, so you can resume where you stopped if your connection drops.
- The exam opens in full screen. Leaving full screen is recorded and the timer keeps running.
- If focus leaves the exam, for example to another tab or window, you see a warning and it is recorded. Warnings do not end this exam.
- Copying, pasting, printing and right-click are turned off during the exam.
The exam needs a laptop or desktop computer with a window at least 1024 pixels wide.

The readiness band is a study aid based on this exam only. It does not predict your real result.
