What is DigiProctor?
DigiProctor is the computer-based testing (CBT) platform used by the Nursing Council of Kenya for the NCK licensure examination. It replaced paper-based exams to improve security, reduce marking errors, and enable faster results.
If you have never used DigiProctor before, the interface can feel unfamiliar on exam day — and unfamiliarity costs time and marks.
The DigiProctor Interface: What You Will See
The Exam Screen
The Question Navigator Grid
A 10×10 grid showing all 100 questions. Each cell is colour-coded:
Use this grid strategically: answer all questions you are confident about first, flag uncertain ones, then return to flagged questions in the remaining time.
Submission
You must manually click "Submit Exam" when done. The system will warn you if there are unanswered questions. If the timer reaches zero, the exam auto-submits with whatever answers you have entered.

How to Practice for DigiProctor
The only way to be comfortable with DigiProctor on exam day is to practice in a similar environment beforehand. NurseFiti's mock exam module replicates:
Take at least 3–4 full mock exams on NurseFiti before your exam date. By the time you sit the real exam, the interface will feel completely natural.
Exam Day Logistics
The exam itself is the same content you have been practising. The only variable is the interface — and now you know exactly what to expect.
