Why NMC Test Pass

Built for the CBT — and for you

Moving to the UK is a big step. Your revision should feel calm and clear, not stressful. Here’s how we help you walk into test day ready.

Grounded in the NMC Code

Every question is written around the Code and current standards — the professional judgement the CBT is really testing.

Explained, not just marked

Get the right answer and a plain-English reason for every question, so weak spots turn into things you actually understand.

Real test-day conditions

Full mock papers run to a 90-minute countdown with a 70% pass mark — so nothing on the day catches you off guard.

Know your weak spots

Topic analytics show exactly where to revise next, and “drill my weak spots” builds a focused practice set in one tap.

How it works

Three calm steps to ready

  1. Sit a mock

    Start a timed 40-question paper that mirrors the real Test of Competence, or practise untimed at your own pace.

  2. Learn from every answer

    Read the explanation and the topic behind each question, then see a clear breakdown of how you scored.

  3. Drill your weak spots

    Follow your analytics to the topics that need work, and watch your pass-readiness climb before test day.

CTell the patient they must take it or the doctor will be informed.
DWithhold all future medications until they comply.

The Code requires nurses to respect a person’s right to refuse treatment and to gain properly informed consent — listen to their concerns and record the decision.
