How should you prepare for the 2027 exam?
Start with Section A, because it carries 66 of the 120 marks, and revise it from your GNM textbooks and class notes.
- Revise each Section A subject in turn, with extra time on midwifery and medical surgical nursing.
- Cover anatomy, physiology, microbiology and fundamentals of nursing for Section B.
- Do not skip Section C: its 18 marks decide ties after Sections A and B.
- Practise timed sets of 120 MCQs to finish within 140 minutes, since there is no penalty for guessing.
