NMC CBT guides

The questions candidates ask that most sites answer with a guess. Where the NMC publishes an answer we give it and cite it. Where it does not, we say so rather than inventing one.

  • The NMC CBT pass markThe NMC does not publish a pass mark for the CBT. Here is what it does publish about how the test is marked, and why any site quoting a figure is guessing.
  • Failed the NMC CBT: resits, attempts and what happens nextWhat to do after failing the NMC CBT: how many attempts you get, how long you wait between them, and what happens if you use all three.
  • NMC registration for overseas nurses: the route inThe steps from an overseas nursing qualification to a UK NMC PIN: eligibility, English language, the CBT, the OSCE and registration.
