Ultimate Test Prep-

To be a Certified Nursing Assistant, the students will need to take the state Examination which is divided into two sections, the Knowledge (written) examination and a clinical skills test. Students must successfully pass both sections to earn the CNA certification. In most areas the student must pass the Knowledge with a 75% or higher. In most areas the student also must pass the clinical skill portion with an 80% or better, and also demonstrate that s/he can follow each critical step with 100% accuracy.

The written examination will be given in a multiple-choice format similar to tests the students have taken in the class. The clinical skills portion is broken down into “checkpoints” or skills that are performed in front of a skills evaluator. The student’s demonstration of the skills does not have to be perfect, but they must show the portion of the step that is considered critical, which usually involves personal or patient safety or infection control. They will be allowed to correct themselves if they miss a step during a particular skill until they have proceeded to the next one.
