CPNRE - January 11th, 2012

World Canada CRNE

Published

Without talking about specific material from the exam of course, discuss how you found the exam? Difficulty level? Did the CPNRE prep manual/predictor test compare to the exam itself?

Also, feel free to post results here, when they arrive of course!

This is also the first writing of the "new" CPNRE. Prior to yesterdays writing, the exam was 8 hours long, divided into 2 booklets, rather than 4 hours and 1 booklet. As far as the content and difficulty level of this exam compared to those prior, I'm not sure if that changed as well.

I personally found the exam to be a bit more difficult than the practice exam in the CPNRE prep guide, as well as the online predictor test. I scored %95-%100 on the predictor tests, which means it concluded I have a 95-100 % chance of passing the CPNRE. I found the answers in the prep guide and the predictor test to be fairly obvious, where as on the actual CPNRE, I read a lot of questions, thought I knew the answer before looking at the available choices, but once seeing the options I wasn't so sure anymore.

Through my PN course I averaged a mixture of high 70s and low 80s during finals but I must say, I have no idea how I did on this exam. It's really one of those exams where I either did extremely well, or failed miserably. At least that's how it feels!

I wish everyone the best of luck and I hope we all get that PASS letter in the mail!

Keep us posted & share your thoughts here! :)

Hi spygurl2012, I wonder if I can know where your hometown is, cause these days I am being told that it's hard to find a full-time job in toronto city now. I also took the Jan 2012 Exam, and it's really different from Prep Guide and predict tests.

During the time I am waiting for the exam result, I am thinking maybe I have to find a job in GTA instead of toronto city, although I live in scarborough now.

Thanks and good luck!

Hi thanks so much for your reply. It's really the good news for me. I will think about it after I get the license. I am hesitant to move, cause I settled down three years ago in Toronto, but moving to another city is not as hard as immigrating to Canada from China.

Thanks again and good luck!

Hey spygurl2012, the exam I just wrote was harder than I expected. Before writing the exam, I was reading Prep Guide (3rd, 4th edition), also predict test, but I noticed the real exam was totally different from those questions, also some medical terms I never saw them before, out of our textbook. It seemed that I learned this way in the two-year program, but CNO tested me in a totally different way. I checked mailbox, still no envelop from CNO.

Good luck!

Results in Ontario haven't been mailed out yet. I just got off the phone with the CNO. Other parts of Canada are beginning to receive their results in the mail though!

I've made it a habit to call the CNO daily, so I'll keep those of you waiting for results in Ontario posted!

good luck to everyone!
