The PNCB CPNP-PC exam has 175 multiple-choice questions, of which 150 are scored and 25 are unscored pretest questions, in three hours. The 2023 CPNP-PC exam content outline (effective October 2023) has four domains: Health Maintenance and Promotion (30%), Assessment and Diagnosis (35%), Management (30%) and Leadership, Ethics, and Practice Management (5%). PNCB reports a scaled score and does not publish a percentage of correct answers needed to pass. PNCB reports a scaled score and does not publish a percentage needed to pass, so the percent score in the portal mock is only a self-check. PNCB sets the exam fee and different PNCB pages have shown different amounts over time, so no figure is quoted here. Confirm the current first-attempt and retake fees with PNCB before you apply. The content outline spreads questions across 4 areas; the largest are Assessment and Diagnosis (35.0%); Health Maintenance and Promotion (30.0%); Management (30.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. PNCB sets the education, licensure and clinical requirements for the CPNP-PC exam; confirm them on the PNCB site before you apply. The portal is a practice aid built on the published content outline: it is not a copy of the exam and it does not predict your score.
