Why choose Exampractice
10,000+ exams under one plan
UWorld covers nursing, medical and academic admissions. Exampractice spans 1,000+ awarding bodies — Cisco and AWS next to NCLEX, the FAA knowledge tests, FINRA series exams, NFPA fire-safety credentials and ASE trade tests. One account covers a career, not one certification.
Ten free questions on every exam
No card, no account, no trial to remember to cancel. Open any of the 10,000+ exams and read real questions before you decide.
Answers checked, not crowd-voted
Every answer is verified by our team and corrected weekly. Where a question is genuinely contested we say so, rather than leaving you to work it out from an argument in the comments.
One exam without a subscription
$19.99 for 30 days or $49.99 for a year, paid once. Access ends by itself — there is nothing to cancel and nothing renews behind your back.
Switch exams whenever you like
Full access is $39.99 a month or $199.99 a year and opens the whole catalogue. Pass one certification, start the next the same afternoon at no extra cost.
Your progress is kept
Scores and study plans survive a lapse. Come back months later and pick up exactly where you stopped rather than starting the exam again.

What UWorld leaves out
UWorld sells nursing and academic question banks, priced per exam for a fixed window. Its NCLEX product starts at $149 for 30 days on that one exam, and it covers no IT, aviation, finance, safety or trade certifications at all.
- $149 for 30 days on a single exam — the most expensive entry point in this comparison.
- Nursing and academic admissions only.
- No IT, aviation, finance, fire safety or trade certifications.
- Access expires on a fixed window and must be bought again.
Exampractice instead
10,000+ exams across 1,000+ awarding bodies, ten free questions on every one of them, and the whole catalogue for $39.99 a month. One plan, every industry, nothing to cancel on the single-exam option.
Common questions
- How much cheaper is Exampractice than UWorld?
- Dramatically. UWorld charges $149 for 30 days on NCLEX alone. Exampractice charges $19.99 for 30 days on NCLEX, or $39.99 a month for NCLEX and every other exam in the catalogue — so one month of UWorld on one exam costs almost as much as a full year of Exampractice on all 10,000+.
- Does UWorld cover anything besides nursing?
- Not for certification. UWorld covers nursing and academic admissions, and carries no IT, aviation, finance, fire safety or trade exams. A nurse who later takes a management, safety or IT certification has to start again elsewhere; on Exampractice it is the same account.
- Does UWorld access expire?
- Yes. Every UWorld plan is a fixed window — 30, 90, 180 or 360 days — and lapses whether or not you have passed. Exampractice single-exam access also ends on its own, but at $19.99 rather than $149, and your progress and study plans are kept if you come back.
