| Cert | Vendor | Live items / time | Pass notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NCLEX-RN | Pearson VUE (after your board of nursing issues an Authorization to Test) | Computer adaptive (CAT). You may see about 85–150 items; the exam stops when the logit passing standard is met, maxed, or time runs out. · Up to 5 hours, including breaks | NCSBN uses a logit passing standard, not a fixed percent. This module is 20 original items for pacing — not a predictor of CAT stop. |
| CompTIA A+ | Pearson VUE (CompTIA) | Core 1 (220-1101) and Core 2 (220-1102): up to 90 items each, multiple choice plus performance-based (PBQ) labs. · 90 minutes per core | CompTIA publishes scaled passing scores per core. This module mixes hardware, networking, OS and security stems similar in style — not exam dumps. |
| AWS Cloud Practitioner | Pearson VUE / PSI (AWS Certification) | 65 questions (CLF-C02), multiple choice / multiple response. · 90 minutes | AWS uses a scaled score (100–1000; 700 passing). This set drills shared responsibility, IAM, S3, billing and VPC vocabulary. |
| SIE | Prometric (FINRA) | 75 scored + 10 unscored. · 1 hour 45 minutes | FINRA passing score is 70. This module covers markets, products, regs and AML — not FINRA’s retired items. |
| Series 7 | Prometric (FINRA) | 125 scored items. · 3 hours 45 minutes | FINRA passing score is 72. Stems here hit options, munis, suitability and accounts. |
| Real Estate (salesperson) | Your state vendor (PSI, Pearson or the commission’s contractor) | National + state portions. Counts and time vary. · Set by the state commission (often 3–4 hours combined) | Passing scores are set by each state (often ~70–75%). This module covers agency, contracts, finance and fair housing that show up on national outlines. |

Why practice before you sit the real cert
Licensing exams are computer-based and timed. A short original set trains pacing and vocabulary without stealing retired items from NCSBN, CompTIA, AWS or FINRA.
After you submit, jump to entry-level listings that mention the credential. Run the resume ATS checker so the PDF actually contains the cert name.
How these practice modules work
Pick a card, start timed or untimed, submit, then read explanations. Timed mode is a pacing drill — it is not the live CAT clock (NCLEX) or a Core 1/Core 2 voucher (A+).
None of these are live exam dumps. If a stem looks familiar from a pirate bank, we did not copy it; ours are original.
Which cert maps to which first job
NCLEX-RN is the nurse license exam — residencies want it passed or scheduled. CompTIA A+ and AWS Cloud Practitioner are help-desk / junior-cloud screens. SIE is the brokerage co-requisite; Series 7 needs a sponsoring broker-dealer. Real-estate salesperson exams are state commissions, not NAR.
Put the credential name in a text PDF (ATS checker) before you apply. Listings on each module are WhatJobs matches, not school placements.
Frequently asked questions
Are these official exam questions?
No. Original Bodhixt items. NCSBN, CompTIA, AWS, FINRA and state commissions publish their own practice.
How many questions per module?
20 original MCQs with explanations after submit. Timed mode uses the minutes on the card.
Is NCLEX a percentage score?
No. NCLEX-RN is computer adaptive with a logit passing standard. This 20-item set is pacing only.
Is CompTIA A+ one exam?
No. Core 1 (220-1101) and Core 2 (220-1102). You need both. This module mixes topics from each.
Can I sit Series 7 without a firm?
No. SIE can be taken without a sponsor. Series 7 needs a broker-dealer U4.
Will passing this module get me hired?
It is practice. Put the credential on a text PDF (ATS checker) and apply on the employer site.
