Frequently asked questions
Accounts, practice modes, scoring and your data.
Accounts
Do I need an account?
No account is needed to try the sample questions on the home page. Create a free account to save your progress, keep a streak, bookmark questions and see your weak topics.
Can I sign in with Google?
Yes, when Google sign-in is enabled you'll see "Continue with Google" on the sign-in page. You can also use email and password.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Profile → Delete account, or follow the steps on the account deletion page. Deletion permanently removes your account and all your study data.
Practice
What practice modes are there?
- Quiz: choose feedback after each question or at the end.
- Timed exam: a countdown and no feedback until you submit.
- Flashcards: flip and rate Again, Hard, Good or Easy; spaced repetition schedules reviews.
- Review mistakes: only the questions you got wrong last time.
Can I stop in the middle of a quiz?
Yes. Your answers are saved as you go, and the dashboard shows a Continue session button.
Scoring
How are select-all-that-apply questions scored?
Your headline score is all-or-nothing: you need every correct option and no incorrect ones. You also see partial credit, where each correct pick adds a point and each incorrect pick subtracts one (never below zero), as on the Next Generation NCLEX.
How are interview (open-ended) answers scored?
After you submit, you see a model answer and a checklist of key points. Tick the points your answer covered; 75% or more counts as correct.
What counts as a "weak" topic?
A topic where you've answered at least 3 questions and got fewer than 70% fully correct.
Content
Is the NCLEX content official?
No. Sharp is an independent study tool and isn't affiliated with NCSBN. Questions follow the published NCLEX-RN test plan and NGN item formats, but they're original practice items, not real exam questions.
I found a mistake. What should I do?
Please email info@tachara.online with the track, topic and a few words of the question.
