Study for the NCLEX from the material your program assigned

Alma is an AI study platform for nurses and nursing students. Upload your course readings and lecture slides. You get practice questions in NCLEX style, with an explanation for every option, and flashcards that come back as you start to forget.

  • NCLEX-RN
  • NCLEX-PN
  • HESI
  • ATI

Where to start

Your first week, if you're a nursing student

Quizzes follow the style of the NCLEX-RN or NCLEX-PN, the HESI exit exam or ATI exams, whichever is on your profile. NCLEX-RN questions ask what the nurse should do, with a reason for every option.

  1. Upload the chapter your instructor assigned

    A reading or a set of slides is enough. Set the NCLEX-RN (or PN, HESI or ATI) on your profile first.

  2. Take a quiz and read the explanations

    Every option has its own explanation, the wrong ones included. That's where most of the learning is.

  3. Put your NCLEX date in the Schedule

    Your exam and date come from your profile, or pick the six-week NCLEX-RN Quick start if you haven't set a date. Say how many hours you have each day and press Build my plan. Later, Quiz me on my misses turns cards you keep getting wrong into practice questions.

Learning Hub

Upload what you were taught. Practise on it.

Your program assigns the reading, and the NCLEX tests judgment. Upload a chapter on diabetic ketoacidosis or pressure injuries and the quiz asks what the nurse should do, with a reason for every wrong option. The questions are in NCLEX-RN style and come from the chapter your instructor assigned.

          Ask a question. Get an answer with its sources.

          Before a practical exam, ask what your weak areas are. She answers from your quiz results and card reviews, not from a guess. When a card confuses you, ask her to explain what it's asking without giving the answer away.

                      How does Alma work?

                      You bring the material your program actually assigned: lecture slides, course readings, your own notes. Alma turns it into practice questions, flashcards on a spaced-repetition schedule, mind maps, a knowledge graph and simulated patients. Every question comes from your own material.

                      Where do the questions come from?

                      From whatever you upload: a lecture PDF, a set of slides, a guideline or your own notes. The questions follow the style of the exam on your profile, and each one explains the correct option and every wrong one.

                      Which exams does Alma cover?

                      Exams covered for nurses and nursing students: NCLEX-RN, NCLEX-PN, HESI, ATI. Every audience gets the same tools. The exam on your profile decides how the questions are written.

                      Is there a free trial?

                      Yes. Every individual plan starts with a one-week free trial. You are not charged if you cancel before it ends.

                      Is my material used to train AI models?

                      No. Your notes, uploads, questions and queries are not used to train, fine-tune or improve any AI model, ours or a third party's.
