Frequently asked questions

NurseMasomo is an exam revision platform for nursing and health science students in Kenya. You upload your notes or past papers and it generates targeted multiple choice questions, shows which topics are most likely to appear, and uses spaced repetition to help you remember more.

It is built for the Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK) board exams for KRCHN and BScN, as well as KMTC, BSN and clinical placement exams. Content spans Pharmacology, Anatomy, Medical Surgical nursing, Community Health and more.

When you upload a PDF, Word document or text, NurseMasomo analyses the material and creates exam style multiple choice questions with answers and explanations drawn from your content. The questions are based on what you actually studied, not generic banks.

Yes, for the first 30 days. The free trial requires no card and no payment details. After the trial, full access is KES 250 per month, paid with M-Pesa.

You pay with M-Pesa through our secure partner, IntaSend. No bank card is required. You receive an STK push prompt on your phone and enter your M-Pesa PIN to confirm. We never see or store your PIN.

Yes. There is no app to download. NurseMasomo runs in any browser on Android or iPhone and is built to stay fast even on 3G connections common across Kenya.

Every question carries a revision-priority score from recurring past-paper trends, so you focus first on the highest-yield topics. It is a study guide to where to spend your time, not a prediction of exam content.

Spaced repetition shows you a question again at the right moment, just before you are likely to forget it. NurseMasomo schedules your weak topics to resurface so you study less of what you already know and more of what you do not.

Yes. Alongside questions from your own notes, NurseMasomo includes a built-in question bank informed by past-paper patterns and recurring nursing exam themes, each reviewed by a qualified nurse before it reaches students.

Every question in our NCK library is reviewed by a qualified nurse before it is published, and students only ever see approved questions — so you are not practising on unchecked, auto-generated content. Questions you create from your own uploaded notes come with worked answers and explanations you can check against your own material.

Your account and study data are stored securely, and payments are handled by IntaSend, a PCI-DSS compliant provider. We never store your M-Pesa PIN. You can request access to or deletion of your data at any time under the Kenya Data Protection Act, 2019.

There is nothing to cancel in the usual sense. There is no automatic recurring charge. Your access lasts for the period you paid for, and it simply ends unless you choose to pay again.

Most local apps offer a fixed bank of static questions. NurseMasomo lets you generate fresh questions from the material you upload, helps you focus on the highest-yield topics, and adapts to your weak areas. And its NCK library questions are reviewed by a qualified nurse before students see them, rather than left as unchecked AI output, all paid for with M-Pesa.

The Nursing Council of Kenya does not publish a single fixed pass mark. Results are set by the Board of Examiners and you must satisfy the board in each paper, so aim to pass every paper on its own merits.

You are allowed a maximum of four resit attempts at the NCK licensure exam, and you must satisfy the Board of Examiners in each paper. The NCK announces a resit window after each exam series.

Revise with real past-paper questions rather than notes alone, read the explanation behind every answer, use spaced repetition, and spend most of your time on your weak subjects. Knowing the exam format and practising MCQ technique also makes a big difference.

No. The KMTC Final Qualifying Exam is your college's internal exam at the end of your course. The NCK licensure exam is the separate national exam you sit afterwards to be registered and licensed to practise.
