Take a real REC-format exam.
Same module structure, same question counts, same pass thresholds as the actual Regional Exam Center exam. Pick a module and the simulator samples from 1,500+ practice questions, shuffled to a fresh set every attempt.
Sampling tied to the 2017 NMC Exam Structure Sheet (current REC protocol). Each module is timed to the REC standard of 3.5 hours.

Single ~20-question REC module + 180-360 days of documented sail sea service (depends on parent license route).
