CBN practice questions - frequently asked questions

Plain answers about how CBN Exam Prep works: the exam, the questions, pricing, the free trial, and what you actually get.

No - and you should be wary of any site claiming otherwise. Every question here is original, written to mirror the style, difficulty, and judgment the real CBN exam tests. Each one comes with a plain-language explanation of why the right answer is right and the others aren't.

The CBN exam spans 5 domains: Clinical Management: Preoperative (Pre-hospital) (21.3% of the exam); Clinical Management: Perioperative (Hospital) (25.3% of the exam); Clinical Management: Follow-up (Post-discharge & longer term) (25.3% of the exam); Professional and Community Collaboration (14.7% of the exam); Program Quality (13.3% of the exam). Every practice question on this site is tagged to one of these domains.

The domains are not weighted equally on the exam. By share of the marks: Clinical Management: Perioperative (Hospital) 25.3%; Clinical Management: Follow-up (Post-discharge & longer term) 25.3%; Clinical Management: Preoperative (Pre-hospital) 21.3%; Professional and Community Collaboration 14.7%; Program Quality 13.3%.

The CBN exam has 175 questions and is completed in 3 hours. Our timed practice mirrors that length and pacing, so exam day feels familiar.
