TradeLicenseTests provides independent NHIE and state-law exam prep, flashcards, and a technical study curriculum. It is not state-approved pre-license credit (Ohio’s 80 hours, Indiana’s 60 hours, or Kentucky’s 64 in-person hours) and it is not continuing education. A simulator percentage is a practice readiness benchmark, with 75 percent as the target on this bank. It is not an official EBPHI scaled score of 200 to 800.
