Prometric is one of the two national nurse aide testing providers in the US. If your state contracts with Prometric, your exam day looks like this: a written multiple-choice portion covering the national nurse aide topic set, and a clinical skills portion where an evaluator watches you perform a small set of skills against a checklist. The written portion's question count and the passing score are set by your state — Prometric's own practice exams use 50-question versions, which is a fair sense of the length and style.
How to use this page: answer each question, then read the explanation whether you got it right or not. The topics here — handwashing and indirect care, vital signs, transfers, feeding, safety — are exactly the domains Prometric lists in its official skills readiness options, so they carry over to the written exam as well.
Pair this page with the official Prometric practice exams if you want the closest possible rehearsal: the official sets cost $15 per 50-question version, while this page stays free and unlimited. Many applicants use free sets first to build baseline knowledge, then buy one official set close to test day.
Remember that half of your exam is physical. The skills portion is performed live for an evaluator, so once you are passing written sets comfortably, spend real time practising the skills — handwashing, transfers, vital signs, feeding — with a study partner before your exam date.
If your state uses the other national provider, see the Credentia CNA practice test page — the written topics are the same national set, so either page prepares you for the written portion.

Prometric runs nurse aide testing programs in many states, but each state chooses its own approved provider (Prometric or Credentia). Check your state's nurse aide registry to confirm.

The official count is set by your state. Prometric's own written practice exams use 50-question versions — a useful reference for the length and style.

Yes — Prometric sells written practice exams (3 versions of 50 questions, or one 150-question version) plus clinical skills readiness tests, created from federal regulations and applicable to all states.

You perform skills live for an evaluator. Prometric's readiness options cover handwashing, indirect care, vital signs, feeding, mouth care, dressing, bedbaths, occupied beds, foot/perineal care, ROM, ambulation, transfers and positioning.
