The passing standard did not change for the NGN-RN or the NGN-PN Examination that started April 1, 2023, but the test design has been updated with the new case study format questions to test for safe clinical judgment. This current passing standard and test design remains in effect through March 31, 2026 for both exams.
What that means to you: The 2023 NGN Test Plan for both RN and PN students was launched April 1, 2023 with the new question formats but this did not do away with the traditional stand-alone formats that have always been on the exam - so that is good news! It is still a very hard test so you must study. Hurst students should not be worried, as they are fully prepared and provided everything they need to pass the first time with all the materials being up-to date with this new test design for all!
