TNAI’s Recruitment Alert – New NMC Rules for CBT Exam

TNAI’s Recruitment Alert – New NMC Rules for CBT Exam

From 5 April 2019, the decision as to whether a candidate passes or fails the CBT is governed by an overall pass mark.

This means that candidates must achieve the overall pass mark for their exam to pass the CBT. Each CBT exam has its own overall pass mark, which is set in advance by a panel of nursing and midwifery experts to reflect the combined average pass mark of all questions in the exam.

The differences between the overall pass marks for the separate CBT exams reflect the difference in difficulty of individual questions within the exam. No exam is easier or harder to pass and all exams are benchmarked against the same expected performance of nurses and midwives at the point of entry to the UK register who can demonstrate safe and effective practice. We will review the passing standard on a regular basis to check it meets this criteria, taking into account the performance of previous candidates.
