Each runs on its real NMC length, with a checklist mapped to the Code and the standards of proficiency, a model walkthrough and the common mistakes.

How we wrote the stations.

From the official NMC materials. Station kinds and timings follow the NMC's OSCE pages, booklet and timing list; checklists map to the Code and the standards of proficiency. Every exam fact is checked word for word against a stored copy of its source.
Clinical numbers with a source. A number in a checklist, walkthrough or mistake must come from the patient's own data or from a stored NICE or RCP statement. The build refuses anything else, and recalculates every NEWS2 total from the RCP chart.
Original practice. We wrote every scenario, with AI. We do not copy NMC marking criteria or exam content, and please do not send us any.
At the right level. The OSCE is set at the level expected of a newly registered nurse [S3], so that is the level we wrote for.
Corrections welcome. If a point does not match current UK practice where you work, write to [email protected] and we will look at it. Your employer's policy and the official sources always come first.

Independent practice. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by the NMC, the test centres or any exam body. Original practice material, no real exam content. No guarantee of a pass. Our checklists are our own, not the NMC marking criteria. Written with AI from the official NMC materials, and checked word for word against them. Practice material, not advice for real patient care: follow your employer's policy and the NMC Code.
