Kuwait Prometric exam pass mark for nurses
The published Prometric blueprint sets the Registered Nurse pass mark at 60%. On 150 questions that is 90 correct answers. Other professions differ: GP and Lab Technician are also 60%, while the Internal Medicine specialty exam is higher.
Kuwait publishes the pass mark as a percentage, unlike Saudi Arabia, which uses a scaled score. Blueprint content, percentages and the number of attempts can change, so check the Prometric page near your booking date.
What 150 questions in 170 minutes means
You have 170 minutes including a 10-minute break, so about a minute a question with time spare for review. Do not spend more than 90 seconds on any one item on your first pass. Mark it, move on and return.
Where to put your study time
The sections carry very different weight. Adult Nursing has 60 questions, which includes 15 medical, 15 surgical, 11 critical care, 12 community and 7 mental health. Maternal-Child Nursing has 45, with 17 on maternity and 12 on pediatric medical. Fundamentals has 30 and Management and Leadership 15, of which 6 are quality and safety.
If you work in one specialty, such as ICU or theatre, the blueprint tells you where you are likely to be weaker. A cardiac nurse often needs more time on maternity and paediatrics, for example.
If you need another attempt
Wait the full 6 weeks, and spend it on your lowest section. A free 20-question check shows where you stand, then adaptive practice targets those gaps with explanations in your language. Remember the pass is valid for 1 year and the number of attempts is limited to 3.
Not confirmed
