, Exam Blueprint in Plain English
The official 2026 public exam information describes both RN and PN exams as variable-length computerized adaptive
tests. The public candidate bulletin states that the RN and PN exams can range from 85 to 150 items and have a
five-hour time limit. The same public material describes partial-credit scoring methods for items with more than one
key.
For study planning, do not chase a fixed percentage score. Adaptive exams select items to estimate ability near the
passing standard. Your goal in practice is to build safe reasoning, reduce repeat errors, and answer higher-level
clinical judgment questions consistently.
Core exam habits
- Read the stem first and identify the clinical problem before looking at options.
- Choose the action that protects safety and addresses the most urgent risk.
- Do not add facts that are not in the question.
- Expected findings are usually lower priority than new, acute, unstable, or life-threatening findings.
- When all options are possible, choose the one that should happen first.
