Paper Test Policy

The NLN Test Policy was developed to ensure the security of our tests and to protect their integrity. NLN's policy requires that customers return test booklets by a traceable shipping method within 60 days of the test date provided at the time of order placement.

Reminder notices will be sent for any test booklets not received. Sixty days after the test date, accounts will be suspended until all test booklets are returned.

Test booklets cannot be reused after administration. It is a violation of NLN's Test Policy to copy or reuse tests for multiple administrations.

NEW ADDRESS

Test booklets must be returned to:

National League for Nursing
148 East Pleasant Hill Road
Suite 109
Carbondale, Il 62903-6160

* Excludes Continuing Education (CE) Program/Post-Test and the Diagnostic Readiness Test (DRT).  


Online Test Policy

Online administrations expire 180 days* from the date the order is placed. If the same test title is placed within a 180-day period, all unused test administrations for that particular test title will be renewed. (Note: Users have 30 days to score the Alternate-Item RN Practice Exam once this exam is launched.)

Test reports and continuing education certificates are available online for two weeks from the date the test was scored.

The Alternate-Item RN Practice Exam (only) expires after 30 days from the the date the test is launched.

* Certain tests do not have expiration dates. Always review your order confirmation e-mail to verify your test expirations.
