What is the UK NMC CBT exam for nurses?

The UK NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) Computer-Based Test (CBT) is a knowledge and theory assessment required for internationally educated nurses (IENs) applying for NMC registration. It is a 120-question MCQ test covering nursing theory, professional values, communication, law, ethics, and clinical nursing knowledge aligned to UK practice standards.

What is the format of the NMC CBT exam?

NMC CBT: 120 multiple-choice questions, 3 hours, computer-based at a Pearson VUE testing centre. Questions are set at the level of a newly qualified nurse entering UK practice. Question domains: Professional values (20%), Communication (20%), Nursing practice (30%), Leadership (15%), Professional development (15%). Minimum pass mark: approximately 60%.

Is the CBT compulsory for all nurses joining the UK?

Yes. All internationally educated nurses (IENs), including Indian nurses, must pass the NMC CBT before being invited to complete the OSCE — the second part of the NMC test of competence. Both CBT and OSCE must be passed for UK NMC registration. NCA Academy coaches both CBT theory and OSCE clinical skills.
