Assistant Nurse Prometric Exam Preparation Online 2026: The ARN5061 Question Bank, Blueprint, Timed Mocks, a 5-Week Plan and Costs in INR, PKR and PHP, Plus the Midwife Banks
How assistant nurses and nurse technicians prepare online for the Prometric exam in 2026: the ARN5061 paper's format, pass mark and blueprint, the 2,500-question chaptered bank, three timed mocks, a five-week plan, who sits the assistant paper versus the registered nurse paper, the registered and assistant midwife banks, and the cost in INR, PKR and PHP.
Diploma nurses, GNM holders with fewer years of experience and nurse technicians are usually licensed in the Gulf as Assistant Nurses, and they sit a different Prometric paper from registered nurses: ARN5061. It is a more practical paper, and the pass mark is lower, but the candidates who fail it are the ones who prepared with registered-nurse material and never saw the assistant-level blueprint. This guide covers the right paper, the right bank and a plan.
Which paper will you sit?
| Title | Typical qualification | Exam code | Bank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registered Nurse | BSc Nursing, or GNM with the experience the authority requires | RNT0312 | Registered Nurse, about 2,750 questions |
| Assistant Nurse / Nurse Technician | Diploma, ANM, or GNM classified at assistant level | ARN5061 | Assistant Nurse, about 2,500 questions |
| Registered Midwife | Midwifery degree or diploma with registration | MID5104 | Registered Midwife, about 7,500 questions |
| Assistant Midwife | Auxiliary or assistant midwifery qualification | MID5101 | Assistant Midwife, about 2,300 questions |
Your title is decided by the authority at evaluation, not by you. Run the eligibility check before buying a bank, and read GNM and diploma nurses in the Gulf and the midwives and assistant nurses guide.
The ARN5061 paper
- Format: usually 100 to 150 single-best-answer MCQs in 2 to 3 hours.
- Pass mark: lower than the registered nurse paper, typically around 45 to 50% depending on the authority; your eligibility notice states it.
- Blueprint: fundamentals of nursing and basic care, vital signs and observations, infection control, medication administration and simple calculations, patient safety, first aid and emergencies, maternal and child care basics, documentation and communication, ethics.
