The Regulatory Exam – Practical Nurse (REx-PN™) is an entry-to-practice exam for those applying to become a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN) in Ontario or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in British Columbia. Implemented on January 4, 2022, it tests for the knowledge, skill and judgment Practical Nurses need at the beginning of their careers to practice safely. The REx-PN exam is a Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) instead of a traditional multiple-choice exam. The number of questions exam writers receive ranges from a minimum of 90 to a maximum of 150. The actual number of questions the writer must answer depends on how long it takes the exam’s algorithm to determine whether the writer is consistently performing above or below passing level of all the questions the writer receives, 60 to 120 questions count in the exam writer’s score. The remaining 30 are being pre-tested for possible inclusion on future exams and do not count in the score.
