Live counts for the transition-to-practice pathway — scoped inventory, not the full NCLEX-RN marketing corpus.

Content inventory

Live question counts are temporarily unavailable. The in-app bank and CAT still use the same pathway filters (US region, plan tier for this track, exam codes: NCLEX-RN, NCLEX_RN).
