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!

PETCO2 monitoring can help assess the effectiveness of chest compressions.

What is the recommended ventilation rate during CPR without an advanced airway?

A compression-to-ventilation ratio of 15:2 is recommended for two-rescuer pediatric CPR.

What is the recommended treatment for unstable tachycardia?

PETCO2 levels >10 mmHg during CPR suggest effective chest compressions.

What is the recommended initial dose of adenosine for adults?

Defibrillation should be attempted within 30 seconds for a witnessed VF arrest.

What is the treatment for severe hyperkalemia during ACLS?

What is the maximum dose of lidocaine in ACLS?

What is the initial treatment for pulseless electrical activity (PEA)?

What is the best indicator of effective ventilation during CPR?

Hypoxia is a common cause of pulseless electrical activity (PEA).

How many seconds should a pulse check take during cardiac arrest?

The target temperature for targeted temperature management (TTM) is 32-36ยฐC.

What is the proper dose of magnesium sulfate for torsades de pointes?

What is the recommended dose of adenosine for treating stable SVT in adults?

Which rhythm requires immediate defibrillation?

The recommended chest compression depth for infants is at least 2 inches.

How often should you switch chest compressors during CPR?

Synchronized cardioversion is indicated for unstable ventricular tachycardia with a pulse.

What is the appropriate action for PEA?

What is the primary treatment for VF or pulseless VT?

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

What should be done immediately after defibrillation?

What is the recommended maximum interval for chest compression interruptions?

The target PETCO2 during effective chest compressions is >10 mmHg.

Which rhythm is not shockable?

Amiodarone is the first-line drug for treating ventricular fibrillation.

What is the goal oxygen saturation during ACLS care?

Which rhythm is shockable in cardiac arrest?

How many chest compressions should be delivered per minute in high-quality CPR?

What is the initial treatment for symptomatic bradycardia?

What is the recommended oxygen saturation target during ROSC?

What is the recommended compression fraction for effective CPR?

Chest compressions should be paused for at least 15 seconds to deliver a shock.

What is the maximum interval between defibrillation attempts during CPR?

How long should a pulse check take during CPR?

Defibrillation is the treatment of choice for pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

What is the correct dose of epinephrine for pediatric cardiac arrest?

Ventricular fibrillation is a non-shockable rhythm.

The correct defibrillation dose for pediatric cardiac arrest starts at 4 J/kg.

High-quality CPR requires a compression fraction of >80%.

The recommended oxygen saturation goal during post-cardiac arrest care is 92-96%.

What is the compression rate for pediatric CPR?

The correct defibrillation dose for pediatric cardiac arrest starts at 2 J/kg.

The recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for single-rescuer infant CPR is 15:2.

How many breaths per minute should be delivered to an adult during advanced airway CPR?

ROSC should be followed by immediate optimization of oxygenation and ventilation.

What should you do if defibrillation is unsuccessful?

Hypovolemia is a reversible cause of pulseless electrical activity (PEA).

What is the correct joules dose for synchronized cardioversion in narrow, regular tachycardia?

Lidocaine is the first-line drug for ventricular fibrillation.

What is the recommended action for a patient in asystole?

A compression fraction of >60% is recommended for high-quality CPR.

Hypoglycemia is included in the reversible causes of cardiac arrest.

What is the next step after identifying a shockable rhythm?

The maximum dose of atropine for bradycardia is 5 mg.

What is the preferred treatment for unstable SVT?

Asystole is a shockable rhythm during cardiac arrest.

What is the compression fraction goal during CPR?

What is the primary treatment for VF during cardiac arrest?

How soon should defibrillation be attempted in a witnessed VF arrest?

Which rhythm is characterized by a sawtooth atrial pattern?

What is the recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio during CPR?

What is the correct dose of magnesium sulfate for torsades de pointes?
