NEBDN National Diploma in Dental Nursing
Walk into the Knowledge Test knowing the ground
602 practice questions across all 10 units of the Level 3 Diploma, each with an explanation and a source. Try 65 of them free, right here, no sign-up.
Built for the way the Diploma is actually assessed
Multiple-choice recall under time pressure rewards two things: knowing the material, and having practised retrieving it. This does both.
Every answer explains itself
All 602 questions carry an explanation that says why the right answer is right, why the others are wrong, and where it comes from. Getting one wrong teaches you something.
Structured by Diploma unit
The 10 units match the shape of the qualification, so you can revise the unit you are weakest on rather than shuffling the whole bank.
A mock test that matches the format
65 single-answer questions in 90 minutes, so you find out what that pace feels like before it counts.
Read aloud while you do something else
Built-in voice-over reads questions and explanations in a British English voice, which is useful on a commute or while your hands are busy.

Common questions
What is the NEBDN National Diploma in Dental Nursing?
It is a Level 3 qualification for trainee dental nurses in the UK. Passing it, alongside the other registration requirements, is the route most dental nurses take to registration with the General Dental Council. It is assessed by a written Knowledge Test and a Record of Experience.
How many questions can I try for free on this site?
65, spread across 5 of the 10 units. That is exactly the sample the free version of the app unlocks — no more and no less. The other 5 units are available in the app.
Is this an official practice test?
No. Med Revision is an independent revision resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or accredited by NEBDN, the General Dental Council, or any awarding organisation or training provider. Always work from your own provider's syllabus and current published guidance.
Do the questions cover the whole syllabus?
The bank is organised across all 10 units, from Professional Practice through to Risks and Medical Emergencies, and is written against standard dental nursing texts and current published guidance such as the GDC Standards for the Dental Team. It is revision practice, not a replacement for your course.
