Taiwan Registered Nurse Licensing Examination exam-day guide
Taiwan Registered Nurse Licensing Examination · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Admission ticket / exam notice (准考證)
Print the admission ticket issued through the official registration system and keep a backup copy. Confirm the exact format and printing requirements with the official examination authority (needs_review).
Government-issued photo ID
Bring the original National ID card or other photo identification accepted by the examining body. Confirm which documents are accepted for your registration category with the provider (needs_review).
Blue or black ballpoint pens
Bring at least two working pens. Confirm the permitted ink color and whether pencil is allowed for any section with the provider (needs_review).
2B pencils and eraser
Needed if any section uses machine-readable answer sheets. Confirm with the provider whether answer cards are used and what stationery is permitted (needs_review).
Simple wristwatch (no smart features)
Exam rooms may not have visible clocks. Confirm whether watches are allowed and whether smartwatches are prohibited with the provider (needs_review).
Water in a clear container and a light snack
Stay hydrated and keep energy up across long sittings. Confirm whether drinks/snacks are allowed inside the exam room with the provider (needs_review).
Location and route plan
Verify the test center address on your admission ticket and plan the route and travel time in advance. Arrive early to allow for ID checks and seating.
Leave prohibited items at home or in storage
Phones, smart devices, and notes must not be brought to your desk. Confirm the provider's rules on device storage and prohibited items (needs_review).
Review the test-day schedule
Note the reporting time, session start times, and break lengths from your admission ticket. Confirm any schedule details with the provider (needs_review).
Rest and logistics the night before
Sleep adequately, set multiple alarms, and prepare clothes and documents the night before to reduce morning stress.
Plan the day
Stop learning new content; review high-yield summaries, drug classes, and your own error log. Confirm test center location, travel time, and reporting time. Prepare documents and stationery. Keep sleep and meals regular.
Do a light review only. Pack your bag with admission ticket, ID, pens, pencils, eraser, watch, water, and snacks. Lay out clothes. Confirm transport and set alarms. Avoid cramming late into the night.
Eat a normal breakfast, recheck documents and stationery, leave with buffer time, arrive early for ID verification and seating, and use the restroom before the session starts.
Read each question fully and watch for negation words (e.g., 'not', 'except'). Answer easy items first and flag hard ones to revisit. For calculation items, estimate before computing and check units. For scenario items, identify the priority problem and the safest nursing action. Keep an eye on time and transfer answers to the answer sheet as you go. Use breaks to rest and hydrate rather than to review intensely.
Rules to check
Bring and display the required photo ID and admission ticket; candidates without proper identification may not be admitted. Confirm accepted ID documents with the provider (needs_review).
Follow all instructions from invigilators. Do not start writing before the signal and stop immediately when time is called.
Electronic devices, smartwatches, and unauthorized notes must be powered off and stored as directed; using them during the exam may lead to disqualification. Confirm the device policy with the provider (needs_review).
Do not communicate with other candidates during the exam or attempt to view others' answers; any suspected cheating will be handled under the provider's disciplinary rules.
Leave and re-enter the room only during permitted break times and according to invigilator instructions. Confirm the break and restroom policy with the provider (needs_review).
Scoring and passing criteria are set by the official examining authority; confirm the current pass standard, scoring method, and any section requirements with the provider rather than relying on hearsay (needs_review).
If you believe there is a problem with a question or exam conditions, report it to the invigilator immediately and follow the provider's appeal or reporting procedure (needs_review).
