Study Guides Online

• NCLEX tutorial from Pearson VUE

System requirements for downloading the tutorial:

The tutorial program requires a Windows-based PC with at least 64MB of RAM, a Pentium processor, 10 MB available hard disk space, and video resolution set to 800 x 600 or higher. Computers at Pearson Professional Centers are Windows-based PCs.

Some Virus Scan software will disable the auto launch capability. Therefore, you will need to launch the demo manually by navigating to the saved location of the folder (NCLEX_Tutorial) and then double clicking on the file “DemoTest.exe” within that folder. This file is the tutorial application.

Instructions for Downloading the Tutorial:

When you click Play Tutorial, a “File Download” box will appear. Click Open and the windows application will download to your PC. Once the installation completes, the guided tour and tutorial will open automatically and you may begin.
