Overview

The CPNRE Prep Guide, 4th Edition, will help you prepare to write the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination. The Prep Guide is designed to familiarize you with the format of the actual examination and to provide you with information on the content of the examination.

The guide contains a full-length Practice Exam developed by the same people who create and score the examination. The Practice Exam is a simulation of an actual examination. Completing the Practice Exam will help you review and integrate the concepts you have learned in your practical nursing program; it will also help you assess your skill in applying that knowledge. After completing the Practice Exam, you can create your Performance Profile to identify your strengths and weaknesses. The test instructions, test-taking strategies, question rationales and sample answer sheets can be used to enhance your readiness to write the CPNRE.

The Prep Guide was developed by Canada’s Testing Company, the testing company responsible for the development and administration of the CPNRE. The guide provides suggestions on how you can best use it, depending on the amount of time you have available before you write the CPNRE. You can benefit from the Prep Guide whether you have several months or only two weeks to prepare for the examination.
