NCLEX prep is built into our curriculum.
Our goal is always for 100% pass rates with our students taking the NCLEX-RN exam. In 2021, we had a 91.42% NCLEX Exam Pass Rate across our campuses, substantially higher than the national NCLEX pass rate of 82%*.
Our BSN program includes a variety of resources and training to help prepare you for the NCLEX-RN. Using systematic testing software, personalized study plans, virtual case studies, and integration of clinical judgement in our classes; our system is designed to maximize your chance of success on the NCLEX exam.
Students take multiple practice exams with NCLEX-style questions using ATI, our comprehensive learning resource. These virtual exams are designed to prepare learners for the NCLEX exam and get students comfortable with the test format.
Utilizing the ATI learning system, our students have access to assignments, study plans, case studies, and activities throughout the nursing program. In the final semester, students take an NCLEX prep class that provides weekly study plans and assignments in preparation for the exam. These study plans focus on the areas where students scored lowest during their practice tests. Our instructors work with students on these weaker areas and support them to ensure they fully understand the concepts.
Our instructors have helped hundreds of students pass the NCLEX-RN exam. In preparation, our instructors will introduce strategies that help you answer different types of NCLEX questions and manage your time efficiently.
As a nursing-only school, our general education classes are uniquely tailored to the nursing field. Once you enter your core nursing courses, NCLEX-style questions are used often during lessons and quizzes to get students thinking like a real-world nurse. All this preparation helps you get comfortable with the NCLEX format, and feel ready for it.

In the final year of our nursing core program, all students will take our Professional Seminar course. In this class, our expert instructors along with ATI educators offer you clear strategies and guidance for passing the NCLEX-RN exam.
These assignments are individualized based on student performance of weekly assessments. The custom assignments are designed by ATI, our comprehensive learning system.
During the NCLEX preparation class, our instructors work with each student individually to answer questions as they study. For the areas where a student needs extra help, teachers will walk them through example case studies and give personalized feedback.
Even after graduating, our students will continue to have access to the ATI learning products for 1 year. Using the ATI learning resources, students can go through NCLEX practice questions and get feedback on areas they need to improve.
Arizona College was incredibly helpful in preparing us for NCLEX. Throughout our nursing program, we had to answer NCLEX-style questions that prompted us to use clinical judgment. ATI’s 3-day workshop was also beneficial. Happy to say that all of the students in my nursing cohort passed the NCLEX! Aryn, Tucson BSN Graduate, Class of 2021

From the first day of general education classes in our program, students are introduced to critical-thinking processes and concepts that will prepare them for the NCLEX-RN. The core of the NCLEX is clinical judgment, which combines critical-thinking skills, data analysis, active listening, and patient observation to provide quality medical care.
Arizona College has designed our nursing curriculum to include clinical judgment training in every class that students take. Our instructors help students to utilize their critical-thinking skills as they work through patient scenarios and case studies.
Our extensive clinical judgment training gives students the skills necessary to pass the NCLEX exam and succeed in the nursing field.
