I want to know about exam for saudi nurses.exam provider is prometric.authority is saudi commsssion for health specialities(www.scfhs.org). any one know about solved question paper for this exam(speciality-nursing technician).what is the curriculam for this exam.

The exam format is purely multiple choice and nothing else. It is done not by paper and pen but by a computer. Whatever you have learned while you were in college are the type of questions they typically ask. The questions are sorted out automatically by set, which means that set A do not contain the same questions as set B and the number of items may vary from 50 to 75. Passing mark is 40%.

I hope this helps.

I got 41 marks out of 75 in twice but I failed int the examination.also whoever taken the exam they said it is different from the past that means the questions are so hard for the last 6 months.Can you help me more?

I took my exam about 3 years ago. Newly arrived staff nurses from the hospital where I worked will take their exams a month from now. I will give you an update.

Good luck!
