Preparing for the NCLEX-RN can feel overwhelming because it covers everything you learned across your entire program. The Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination, 5th Edition, is one of the most widely used all-in-one review books for exactly that reason. This study test bank is built to match it, giving you a large, organized bank of practice questions so you can turn passive reading into the active, repeated testing that actually predicts NCLEX readiness.
Why this test bank helps
The NCLEX does not reward memorized facts — it rewards clinical judgment and prioritization under uncertainty. Every question here includes a detailed rationale that walks you through why the correct answer is correct and why each distractor is wrong. Studying the rationale, not just the answer key, is what builds the test-taking strategy and reasoning the exam is designed to measure. Repeated, spaced practice with rationale review is one of the best-supported ways to prepare.

Who it’s for
This is for final-semester and new-graduate nurses preparing to sit the NCLEX-RN, as well as students who want a comprehensive question bank to review throughout the program. Because Saunders spans the whole curriculum, it also works well for consolidating content before end-of-program or exit exams.
How to use it (the right way)
Do timed blocks of questions to simulate exam conditions, then review every rationale carefully — especially for questions you guessed or got right by luck. Track the categories where you miss the most and return to those topics in your main review book. Consistent daily practice beats last-minute cramming. Use this purely as a self-assessment aid, and always follow your institution’s academic-integrity policy.
Sample question
(Shows the format — your download contains the full set.)
Q. A nurse is caring for four clients. Which client should the nurse assess first?
- A. A client scheduled for discharge who is waiting for prescriptions
- B. A client two days post-op requesting oral pain medication
- C. A client with new-onset shortness of breath and an oxygen saturation of 88%
- D. A client with a chronic wound due for a routine dressing change
Answer: C. Using the ABC (airway, breathing, circulation) framework, the client with new shortness of breath and hypoxemia has an unstable, potentially life-threatening problem and must be assessed first. A is a stable, non-urgent task. B is important for comfort but is not immediately life-threatening and can follow. D is a routine, scheduled intervention that can be delegated or delayed. Prioritization questions like this are central to the NCLEX-RN.
