NNAAP stands for National Nurse Aide Assessment Program. In the states that use it, the "CNA exam" and the "NNAAP" are the same test: a written multiple-choice portion plus a clinical skills portion where an evaluator watches you perform skills. Because the program is national, the written portion tests the same core topic areas everywhere — the state differences come down to question counts, passing scores and which approved company administers the test.
How to use this page: answer each question, then read the explanation whether you got it right or not. The topics here — privacy and dignity, vital signs, infection control, documentation, communication — are the ones the written exam returns to again and again.
Most applicants prepare for the written portion with practice questions, then switch to skills practice once they pass. The CNA skills test page covers the second half, so you can prepare both portions with the same free, local approach.
A practical goal: score above your state's passing mark on three consecutive sets before booking the exam. The questions you miss are the most useful study material you have — each wrong answer points at a topic area worth one more focused review session.
One note on sources: this site writes original practice questions based on public nurse-aide training knowledge. They mirror the topics and style of the NNAAP but are not the official questions, and they are never copied from other quiz sites. Your state's nurse aide registry is the authoritative source for your exact exam rules.
