The NEA-BC exam is the official Nursing exam for Nursing ANCC - Nurse Executive Advanced Certification (NEA-BC). Passing it earns you the Nurse Executive Advanced Certification credential, which sits at the Advanced level. It is also connected to Nurse Executive Certification (NE-BC), so what you learn carries over if you plan to pursue those paths as well. Employers treat the certification as verified proof of skill, which is why structured preparation with 2Pass4sure's practice questions pays off.

The NEA-BC exam contains 150 (125 scored, 25 pretest) questions, and the time limit is 180 minutes. Translate that into a pacing plan before exam day: know roughly how long you can afford per item, flag anything that stalls you, and circle back at the end instead of burning minutes. Two or three full timed sessions in 2Pass4sure's test engine will teach you that rhythm far better than untimed reading ever will.

The passing score for the NEA-BC exam is 350 (scaled score 0–500), and the official registration fee is $295 (ANA members), $395 (non-members). Remember that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full for a retake, so treat self-assessment as part of the budget: run 2Pass4sure's practice questions under timed conditions and only book your seat once your scores sit comfortably above the passing bar.
