+
+## Running the tests
+
+From the terminal, change to the base directory of the exercise then execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ mix test
+```
+
+This will execute the test file found in the `test` subfolder -- a file ending in `_test.exs`
+
+Documentation:
+
+* [`mix test` - Elixir's test execution tool](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Test.html)
+* [`ExUnit` - Elixir's unit test library](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUnit.html)
+
+## Pending tests
+
+In test suites of practice exercises, all but the first test have been tagged to be skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol.
+
+For example:
+
+```elixir
+# @tag :pending
+test "shouting" do
+  assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
+end
+```
+
+If you wish to run all tests at once, you can include all skipped test by using the `--include` flag on the `mix test` command:
+
+```bash
+$ mix test --include pending
+```
+
+Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the `ExUnit.configure` line in the file `test/test_helper.exs`.
+
+```elixir
+# ExUnit.configure(exclude: :pending, trace: true)
+```
+
+## Useful `mix test` options
+
+* `test/<FILE>.exs:LINENUM` - runs only a single test, the test from `<FILE>.exs` whose definition is on line `LINENUM`
+* `--failed` - runs only tests that failed the last time they ran
+* `--max-failures` - the suite stops evaluating tests when this number of test failures
+is reached
+* `--seed 0` - disables randomization so the tests in a single file will always be ran
+in the same order they were defined in
+
+## Submitting your solution
+
+You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit lib/prime.ex` command.
+This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
+
+- See how others have completed the exercise
+- Request help from a mentor
+
+## Need to get help?
+
+If you'd like help solving the exercise, check the following pages:
+
+- The [Elixir track's documentation](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/elixir)
+- The [Elixir track's programming category on the forum](https://forum.exercism.org/c/programming/elixir)
+- [Exercism's programming category on the forum](https://forum.exercism.org/c/programming/5)
+- The [Frequently Asked Questions](https://exercism.org/docs/using/faqs)
+
+Should those resources not suffice, you could submit your (incomplete) solution to request mentoring.
+
+If you're stuck on something, it may help to look at some of the [available resources](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/elixir/resources) out there where answers might be found.

+# Nth Prime
+
+Welcome to Nth Prime on Exercism's Elixir Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+
+## Instructions
+
+Given a number n, determine what the nth prime is.
+
+By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6th prime is 13.
+
+If your language provides methods in the standard library to deal with prime numbers, pretend they don't exist and implement them yourself.
+
+## Slow tests
+
+One or several of the tests of this exercise have been tagged as `:slow`, because they might take a long time to finish. For this reason, they will not be run on the platform by the automated test runner. If you are solving this exercise directly on the platform in the web editor, you might want to consider downloading this exercise to your machine instead. This will allow you to run all the tests and check the efficiency of your solution.
