What to Expect

Congratulations on completing FirstAidWebโ€™s ACLS Provider Certification Course! Youโ€™ve invested the time, effort, and commitmentโ€”now itโ€™s time to secure your certification.

This exam isnโ€™t meant to trick you. Itโ€™s designed to confirm your understanding of the material. Take a breath, get focused, and review the key details below before you begin.

Exam Overview

  • 65 questions covering all key ACLS topics, including multiple-choice and true/false. Questions are randomized for each attempt.
  • Exam must be completed within 90 minutes.
  • You must answer every question before submitting.
  • Detailed feedback is provided for every answerโ€”correct or incorrect.
  • Passing score: 75%.
  • You have three consecutive attempts. After that, a review break will be required before trying again.

What to Keep in Mind

  • This is an individual examโ€”no notes, no outside help.
  • Plan for one sittingโ€”you cannot save and return later.
  • Ensure a stable internet connection, a charged device, and a distraction-free environment.
  • You can review and change answers before submitting, but stay mindfulโ€”speed and accuracy matter in real-life situations.
  • Give your responses one final review, then submit with confidence.

What Happens Next

  • Results are displayed immediately upon submission.
  • Pass? Youโ€™ll receive your official ACLS Certification Card instantly.
  • Didnโ€™t pass? No stressโ€”youโ€™ll have up to three consecutive attempts before a review break is enforced. After that, you can retake the exam.

You're readyโ€”best of luck on your exam!

The initial treatment for unstable bradycardia is atropine.

Which of the following is part of the "H's" for reversible cardiac arrest causes?

The correct dose of epinephrine for pediatric cardiac arrest is 1 mg/kg IV/IO.

ROSC should be followed by immediate reassessment of the patientโ€™s rhythm and ventilation.
