PasingGrades is a peer-to-peer student marketplace where learners buy and sell verified study resources across hundreds of subjects. Whether you are a nursing student preparing for the NCLEX, a business student revising for finals, or a high school learner looking for a head start, this platform has materials built for your level and your exam.
The platform hosts a growing library of study materials across a wide range of subjects, contributed daily by students and educators from universities and colleges across the United States and beyond. Below is a full breakdown of every resource type available.
Test Banks
A test bank is a curated collection of exam-style questions, answers, and rationales tied directly to a specific textbook or course. Unlike a single practice test, a test bank typically covers every chapter of a textbook and includes multiple question formats:
- multiple choice questions and answers,
- true/false questions
- short answer questions.
- essays.
- case studies.
- Rationales for the correct and wrong choices.
Test banks are widely used in nursing, business, psychology, and sciences. Instructors often draw exam questions directly from these banks, which is why students who study them tend to walk into exams already familiar with the question style and content.
PasingGrades hosts a large and constantly growing collection of test banks, with new titles added regularly. The most downloaded include titles from:
- Potter & Perry Fundamentals of Nursing
- Brunner & Suddarth Medical-Surgical Nursing
- Lewis Medical-Surgical Nursing
- Varcarolis Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing
- Bates Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking

HESI
Health Education Systems Incorporated (HESI) is a U.S.-based company that produces standardized nursing and allied health assessments. HESI exams are used by nursing schools to evaluate student readiness and predict success on the NCLEX-RN.
On PasingGrades, you will find HESI study guides, practice exams, exit exam prep materials, and specialty review notes covering areas such as Medical-Surgical, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, Mental Health, and Pharmacology. These materials are especially useful for students whose schools require passing a HESI exit exam before graduation.
New HESI materials are added to the platform regularly as students complete their programs and share their preparation resources.
ATI
Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) is an educational technology company that provides standardized testing, review modules, and proctored assessments used by nursing programs across the United States. Many accredited nursing schools require students to pass ATI assessments as part of their curriculum.
Please note: ATI materials on PasingGrades are independent study aids created for revision purposes only. They are not official ATI products or actual proctored exams.
Some of the resources you will find here include focused review guides, exam prep notes, and practice question sets covering all major ATI testing areas. These exam prep guides are particularly helpful for students looking to improve their scores before retakes or before sitting the NCLEX.
ATI resources on PasingGrades are uploaded continuously by nursing students across different programs and cohorts, covering both foundational and specialty areas.
NCLEX
The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) is the standardized licensing exam that all nursing graduates in the United States must pass to become a registered nurse (NCLEX-RN) or licensed practical nurse (NCLEX-PN). As of 2023, the exam uses the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN) format, which emphasizes clinical judgment.
NCLEX prep materials on PasingGrades include full practice question banks, clinical judgment scenario guides, rationale breakdowns, and topic-specific review notes. These resources are designed to help students pass on their first attempt by building both knowledge and exam technique.
NCLEX prep materials on PasingGrades are among the most frequently uploaded and downloaded resources on the platform, reflecting the high demand from graduating nursing students.
Summaries
Book and chapter summaries condense large volumes of material into focused, readable content. Rather than reading through an entire textbook, a well-written summary helps you identify and retain the key concepts, definitions, and frameworks that are most likely to appear in assessments.
Summaries on PasingGrades are created by students who have already completed the courses, giving them practical insight into which sections matter most. Subjects covered include nursing, psychology, business management, economics, history, and many others.
Class Notes
Class notes on PasingGrades are lecture and study notes written by students who have attended the actual classes. Unlike textbooks, which can be dense and unfocused, good class notes reflect what a lecturer actually emphasised — making them a highly targeted study tool.
Notes available on the platform cover a wide range of subjects and institutions. Whether you missed a lecture, need a different explanation of a concept, or simply want to compare your notes with those of a high-performing student, you will find resources to help.
Exams
Past and practice exams are among the most effective study tools available. Practicing under realistic exam conditions helps with time management, question recognition, and reducing test anxiety. On this platform, you can find past papers, practice exams with answer keys, and mock tests across a wide range of subjects and academic levels.
Exam materials on the platform include both instructor-designed practice tests and student-compiled question sets based on past assessments. Many come with full answer explanations and rationales, not just answer keys.
Essays
Essays on PasingGrades are student-written academic papers that serve as models and reference materials. These are intended to help students understand structure, argument, citation style, and tone for a given subject or assignment type — not to be submitted as one's own work.
Essay topics available on the platform cover a broad range of academic disciplines including nursing, business, psychology, history, political science, and communications. They are particularly useful for students who are new to academic writing and need a concrete example to follow.
