"The CBT prep plan alone saved me three months. I booked my test in Abuja with confidence, passed first attempt, and the dashboard kept me calm through OSCE."
Key steps
- IELTS Academic 7.0 / 7.0 / 7.0 / 6.5 in Lagos
- NMC application + ID check completed online
- CBT Theory + Clinical at Abuja Pearson VUE — passed first attempt
- Trust offer + Certificate of Sponsorship for an NHS hospital in Greater Manchester
- OSCE at the Northampton test centre
- NMC PIN issued, started Band 5 RN role
How Pathway helped
- Built a 6-week CBT plan from the NMC test specification
- Walked me through which IELTS sub-test to retake (only writing failed first try)
- Trust-by-trust shortlisting tips for first-time international nurses
- OSCE station drill scripts that matched the real exam
