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!
