Exam Simulator: Just Like the Real Test
See if you're ready for the real thing with the CNA Exam Simulator. Same number of questions, presented the same way as the Nurse Aide exam.
What is a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) exam?
The CNA exam is a certification test for those who wish to become a certified nursing assistant. The CNA exam will consist of two parts: a written portion (also known as a knowledge exam) and a clinical skills test. The written test is intended to measure a candidate's mastery of nursing assistant knowledge and skills. The test consists of 60 multiple choice questions, with 90 minutes to complete them. The clinical skills test requires candidates to perform nursing tasks in front of an evaluator. You'll be asked to demonstrate five duties in 30 minutes.
Who administers the CNA exam?
Every state in the USA administers their own CNA certification exam. Usually it's a two-part exam consisting of a written knowledge test (a set of multiple-choice questions) and a skills evaluation. Depending on your state of residence, your CNA exam will likely be administered by one of the following third-party exam certification providers:
Pearson Vue's National NNAAP
The National Nurse Assistant Assessment Program (NNAAP) is the nation's largest CNA exam assessment program. Their written knowledge exam is 70 multiple-choice questions with four answer options.
You can take the NNAAP Nurse Aid exam in the following jurisdictions: Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, DC, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Virgin Islands, Virginia, Washington.
Prometric's CNA Exam (Nurse Aide exam)
You'll be given 90 minutes to complete a 60-question written examination, and 30-40 minutes - to complete the clinical skills exam.
If you live in one of the following states, your CNA exam will most likely be administered by Prometric: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma.
