Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Examination (CPNRE) / Regulatory Exam Vocabulary Game

Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.

There are 4 games built on 44 CPNRE / REx-PN terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.

OpenExamPrep researched each term from the CPNRE administered for provincial LPN/RPN colleges (ASI/Yardstick); REx-PN administered by NCSBN for ON (CNO) and BC (BCCNM) content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.

Both are entry-to-practice exams for Canadian licensed/registered practical nurses. The CPNRE (developed with Yardstick) is used by most provinces and territories and is a fixed-form 160-170 question exam. The REx-PN (developed by NCSBN) is used only in Ontario and British Columbia and is a computerized adaptive test of 90-150 items.

The REx-PN delivers between 90 and 150 items (60-120 scored plus about 30 unscored pretest items), adapting in real time. The CPNRE has 160-170 questions, some of which are experimental and do not count toward the score.
