After you switch
The app's FAQ describes the last step: "Confirm your selection, and you'll be taken to that exam's study materials." The Study, Stats and Review tabs show the exam you're preparing for at the top, for example NCLEX-RN®.
Your progress for each exam is kept separately, so you can switch back and pick up where you left off: see what happens to your progress when you switch.
