Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), United Kingdom; CBT delivered by Pearson Professional Assessments · Test of Competence 2021, introduced 2 August 2021 and still linked from the current NMC preparation page on 2026-10-11. Nursing Test Specification for Candidates V1.1; Adult nursing blueprint V1.0; Nursing CBT candidate information booklet marked V.3, updated April 2025. The workbook label names the regulator and its CBT component rather than one field-specific examination. The assigned slug is preserved. This category 2. Nursing preview covers common nursing platforms and annexes, using adult clinical examples; it does not claim coverage of the separate midwifery clinical outline or every nursing field's specialist content.
This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
