Questions, answered
What's inside the study portal?
The full Fast Track Study System — every practice question, every flashcard deck, full-length mock exams, narrated audio, Miles the AI tutor, and the entire study guide, every chapter readable and highlightable. The cheat sheet — the highest-yield facts as a PDF — is in the study portal on every pass, with instant access to download it. Every pass opens all of it, backed by the SurePass Guarantee.
How does the SurePass Guarantee work?
Score 80%+ on one full-length mock, sit the real exam, and if NCC's result is a fail we refund what you paid. On Lifetime, clear two mocks with your readiness meter at "Getting close" or above and we also pay your full $325 retake fee — one funded retake. You file in your study portal with your NCC result. NCC is not part of this guarantee; it is ours.
How many full-length mocks do I get?
Four scored full-length sittings, each a brand-new 175-question paper built to NCC's five categories in the shares NCC prints — 28% Pregnancy Complications, 17% Fetal Assessment, 36% Labor and Birth, 16% Recovery, Postpartum and Newborn Care, 3% Professional Practice — and timed to the real 3 hours. Practice questions and timed practice are unlimited and never use one. Worth knowing what you are comparing that to: NCC itself sells only a 30-question, one-attempt preview test and says it does not provide review courses or study materials.
Which pass should I buy?
Most people on this exam should buy Lifetime. It is the only tier that pays your retake fee, and on this credential a fail is expensive: NCC charges the full $325 again and makes you wait 45 days. It also outlasts NCC's own 90-day testing window, which a 30-Day pass covers a third of. The 30-Day suits a date that is close; the 7-Day is for a final-week check when your appointment is already booked.
What score do I need to pass?
NCC does not publish one as a percentage. Its exams are criterion-referenced, and in NCC's own words "There is no set percentage passing level"; your result is pass or fail with a descriptor for each content area, and "No percentages or standard scores are given." Of the 175 items, 150 count and 25 are unscored pretest questions. The 80% our mocks are marked against is ours, not NCC's — and it is the score that qualifies you for the guarantee.
What does the exam cost, and what does a retake cost?
NCC charges $325 — a $50 non-refundable application fee plus a $275 testing fee — the same at a test centre or by remote proctoring, with no member price. A retake is the full $325 again; NCC is blunt: "Retest candidates must pay full application and examination fees. There are no discounts." You wait 45 days from your exam date, reapply, and may test at most twice in a calendar year. Many hospitals buy NCC vouchers, so ask your educator before you pay. Our Lifetime guarantee pays your full $325 retake fee on the retake you pay for — nobody else in this field puts a dollar toward it.
How hard is the RNC-OB?
NCC publishes the number itself: in 2025, 65% of the 2,079 candidates who sat the Inpatient Obstetric Nursing exam passed, so more than one in three did not. That is a sharp change — between 86% and 93% passed every year from 2020 to 2024 — and NCC has not said why. We are not going to guess at the cause. What it means for you is simple: plan to be ready, not to be lucky.
Are the questions like the real exam?
Close, with one honest difference. Every item is written to NCC's five content categories and weighted the way NCC weights them, with a reason given for every option. NCC's own items have three options; ours have four — a fourth plausible distractor on every question — which makes our papers slightly harder to guess on, not easier. Our mocks run all 175 questions on the real 3-hour clock and score every one, where NCC scores 150.
What happens when my pass expires?
Your account stays and your work stays with it — notes, highlights and flashcard history are all there if you come back. The paid features stop. You can upgrade at any time and pick up exactly where you left off, and an upgrade always credits what you already paid.
My exam date moved. Does the plan adjust?
Yes. Change the date and the Game Plan rebuilds around the new one — it works backwards from your date, so a move forward compresses it and a move back spreads it out. Nothing is lost. Worth knowing NCC's shape: once approved you have a 90-day window, and you must schedule inside its first 30 days.
Can I use it on my phone, and does it work offline?
Yes to both. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app. Your due flashcards and a set of practice questions download automatically, and the whole study guide downloads too, narrated audio included — so a break room with no signal is still study time. Scored mocks and the tutor wait for a connection.
Do you offer refunds if I change my mind?
Yes, separately from the pass guarantee: 24 hours on the 7-Day Pass, 48 hours on the 30-Day Pass, or 72 hours on Lifetime, measured from your purchase (or from your upgrade, if you upgraded) — no questions asked, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet. EEA and UK buyers also keep their 14-day statutory right. The SurePass Guarantee is the other promise — that one is about your exam result, not about changing your mind.
Does this earn continuing-education hours?
No. We are not an accredited provider of nursing contact hours, and nothing here counts toward NCC's maintenance requirements. It is exam preparation, and Lifetime access means the course does not expire — not CE.
Why are SurePass guarantees limited?
Because we honor them. Every guarantee is a real financial commitment, and on this exam it is a large one, so a limited number opens for this exam each day. The allocation resets at midnight in your own time zone, and the counter shows how many of today's are still open.
Have questions or concerns?
A real person reads every message and replies by email.
