Sit CNA Practice Test 1 cold.

Before you study anything, take a full exam. The tally tells you where to spend your hours; guessing does not.

  1. 01Write your answers on a separate sheet before checking.
  2. 02Each question holds a 15-second countdown. Pause the video if you need longer.
  3. 03Choose the single best answer, and do not look ahead at the answer slide.
  4. 04Where your state or your facility's policy differs, follow it.
  5. 05The last slide scores you by exam area, so you know which areas to study again.

Every practice test follows Prometric's five exam areas at its weights: 12, 13, 12, 14 and 9 of the 60 questions. On the NNAAP the same knowledge sits under Physical Care Skills, Psychosocial Care Skills and the Role of the Nurse Aide. Score yourself by area rather than by total, so you know which area to study again.

Questions

Before you start.

Are these real CNA exam questions?

No. Every question is original, written to the two national nurse aide outlines, not copied from any real exam.

Which CNA exam will I take?

Your state decides. Prometric's Nurse Aide Written Test, sixty multiple-choice questions in ninety minutes, is used in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, New York, Oklahoma and Texas. Credentia's NNAAP Written Examination, seventy questions with ten unscored, in two hours, is used in Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Georgia, Guam, Iowa, Maryland, the Northern Mariana Islands, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, the US Virgin Islands, Virginia and Washington. Alabama lets you choose either. Other states use Headmaster (D&S) or their own test; the knowledge is the same. Your state's candidate handbook has the exact rules.

Do the practice tests fit the NNAAP too?

Yes. The sixty questions follow Prometric's five areas and weights, and on the NNAAP the same knowledge sits under Physical Care Skills, Psychosocial Care Skills and the Role of the Nurse Aide.

Why only 15 seconds per question?

The real exams allow about ninety seconds a question or more, so treat the tests as recall practice rather than pacing practice. Pause the video whenever you need longer.

Where should I start?

With the study guide: it teaches the whole written exam in five parts, with two self-checks at the end of each. Then sit Practice Test 1 and score yourself by area.
