An entry-level certification exam that verifies your CNA knowledge and hands-on skills for state nurse aide registration.
The CNA Credentia exam is a certification assessment used in many states to confirm you can safely perform essential nurse aide duties. It typically includes a written/knowledge test (often 70 multiple-choice questions in about 90 minutes) and a live skills evaluation where you complete a set of core tasks using a critical-step checklist.
Students finishing CNA training programs and professionals seeking nurse aide certification commonly take this exam. Testing is usually done in person at an approved site, with the written portion offered via computer-based testing (CBT) or paper, followed by the hands-on skills exam.
This exam matters because passing it is a key step toward becoming a listed or registered nurse aide in your state—often required to work in long-term care and other healthcare settings. Because scoring is typically pass/fail by component, you need to be ready for both the knowledge questions and the skills steps.
Preparation is important even though the exam is considered entry-level to moderate. Focused practice helps you build speed for timed multiple-choice questions, recognize common care scenarios, and reduce mistakes on critical steps during skills. The more you practice under realistic conditions, the more confident you’ll feel on test day.
Most candidates complete a short written/knowledge test plus a timed skills evaluation on the same exam day.
| Section | Questions | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Written/Knowledge Test | 70 | 90 minutes |
| Skills Evaluation | 5 skills (typically) (estimated) | About 30 minutes (estimated) |
Know what you’ll face on test day: a written/knowledge exam plus an in-person skills evaluation.
The CNA Credentia exam is typically completed in two parts: a Written/Knowledge Test and a Hands-On Skills Evaluation. The written portion is usually multiple-choice and may be delivered on a computer (CBT) or on paper, depending on your test site. The skills portion is performed in person and scored by an evaluator using a critical-step checklist, so accuracy and order of steps matter.
On the written/knowledge test, you’ll answer about 70 multiple-choice questions in around 90 minutes. The exam is generally pass/fail by component (written/knowledge and skills), with passing standards set by your state; many programs use a benchmark around 70% correct on the written portion (this can vary). Plan to manage your time carefully—move steadily, flag harder questions, and return if time allows.
Use a simple cycle: assess, practice, review, and simulate—so you’re ready for both the written test and skills day.
