How the practice tests work

Questions are written from short excerpts of the official sources. Each one is kept only if its quote appears word for word in the source and two independent checks agree that the quote proves the answer and that no other option is also correct. Pick an answer to see the rule and a link to it.

The real CNA exam has a written (or oral) part and a skills test, and the format depends on your state and its test vendor. Use these questions together with your training program's materials and your state's candidate handbook.
