Alberta Nursing Exam Prep: Mock Exam Access

Alberta Nursing Licensing Exam Prep: Mock Exam Access

100% online, self-paced access to mock exams for the nursing licensing exams used in Alberta: the NCLEX-RN (registered nurses), the CPNRE (licensed practical nurses) and the RPNCE (registered psychiatric nurses). Each exam has a diagnostic test, area quizzes with an explanation for every answer, and four full-length timed mock exams that follow the exam's published test plan or blueprint. No lectures and no scheduled sessions: you register, your eligibility is assessed, and you take the mock exams online before your exam.

Not sure yet? Start with the Free Diagnostic Access (one week, no fee) and come back for the quizzes and mock exams.

Who can register

To register you need:

• To be preparing for the NCLEX-RN, CPNRE or RPNCE as a candidate for registration with the Alberta regulator for your profession (CRNA, CLHA or CRPNA)
• A valid government photo ID and proof of your exam booking or exam eligibility showing your exam date or writing window (uploaded with the Mock exam document upload form within 3 days of registering; the link is in your registration confirmation email)

Eligibility to write is decided by your regulator: CRNA for registered nurses, CLHA for licensed practical nurses and CRPNA for registered psychiatric nurses. Registration requirements (for example education, language and practice requirements) are set by the regulator, not by CCEC.

How registration works

• Choose your exam and access type and complete the registration form, including the eligibility declaration. Then upload a copy of your government photo ID and proof of your exam booking or exam eligibility using the Mock exam document upload form (the link is in your registration confirmation email), with the same email address you registered with, within 3 days.
• Pay online by credit card at the end of the form. An unpaid registration is cancelled automatically after 15 minutes, and you can register again at any time.
• Assessment. Your details and documents are checked against the eligibility requirements, usually within a few hours if everything is in order. If our Admissions team needs anything else, you are told exactly what to send and by when. If your documents have not arrived, you receive reminders, the first about 2 hours after registering.
• Access. If approved, you receive your access email with the link, your access code and your access end date. If not approved, you are told why, and your fee is refunded in full by the same payment method within 2 to 3 business days.
