What to Expect

Congratulations on completing FirstAidWeb’s ACLS Provider Certification Course! You’ve invested the time, effort, and commitment—now it’s time to secure your certification.

This exam isn’t meant to trick you. It’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 answer—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 exam—no notes, no outside help.
  • Plan for one sitting—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 mindful—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? You’ll receive your official ACLS Certification Card instantly.
  • Didn’t pass? No stress—you’ll have up to three consecutive attempts before a review break is enforced. After that, you can retake the exam.

You're ready—best of luck on your exam!

Which rhythm requires transcutaneous pacing if symptomatic?

The initial dose of adenosine for treating stable SVT in adults is 12 mg IV.

What should you do if defibrillation is unsuccessful?

Ventricular fibrillation is a non-shockable rhythm.

What is the most common reversible cause of cardiac arrest?

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for two-rescuer pediatric CPR is 15:2.

How should you confirm the placement of an endotracheal tube?

Defibrillation should always be performed within 10 minutes of identifying VF.

What is the correct defibrillation dose for adults in VF?

The appropriate initial dose of amiodarone for pulseless VT is 150 mg IV/IO.

What is the appropriate energy setting for defibrillation in adults?

What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio for pediatric CPR with two rescuers?

Atropine is used to treat pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

Synchronized cardioversion is the treatment of choice for unstable atrial fibrillation.

How often should you assess the rhythm during ongoing CPR?

How should you treat a patient in asystole?

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

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

During CPR, rescuers should rotate roles every 5 minutes to reduce fatigue.

Which rhythm is not shockable?

During advanced airway management, breaths should be delivered every 6-8 seconds.

What is the first drug given for stable narrow-complex tachycardia?

Defibrillation is the treatment of choice for pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

How often should you reassess pulse during CPR?

Targeted temperature management (TTM) aims to reduce the risk of brain injury post-ROSC.

What is the appropriate treatment for VF in cardiac arrest?

What is the maximum time allowed for interruption of chest compressions?

Which rhythm is not shockable?

The ideal pulse check duration during CPR is 10-15 seconds.

What is the most common cause of PEA?

Which rhythm is characterized by a sawtooth atrial pattern?

What is the proper position for chest compressions on an adult?

Hypothermia is part of the "H's" for reversible cardiac arrest causes.

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

How many cycles of CPR should be completed before reassessing the rhythm?

Epinephrine is administered every 3-5 minutes during cardiac arrest.
