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!

PETCO2 monitoring is used to confirm effective ventilation and chest compressions.

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

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

What is the correct defibrillation dose for adults in VF?

Defibrillation should be delayed until after administering epinephrine in ventricular fibrillation.

What is the recommended action for a patient in asystole?

What is the preferred alternative route if IV access is not available?

How often should epinephrine be administered during cardiac arrest?

What is the recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for infants with two rescuers?

How often should a rhythm check occur during CPR?

What is the most reliable indicator of effective CPR?

Asystole is a shockable rhythm during cardiac arrest.

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

Adenosine is used for the treatment of wide-complex tachycardia.

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

What is the correct ventilation rate for CPR with an advanced airway?

The recommended compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR without an advanced airway is 30:2.

What is the recommended dose of atropine for adult bradycardia?

Which rhythm requires transcutaneous pacing if symptomatic?

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

What is the best indicator of ROSC during CPR?

Defibrillation energy for adult cardiac arrest typically starts at 360 J.

What is the most common cause of PEA?

What is the correct dose of dopamine for bradycardia?

What is the recommended action for a witnessed cardiac arrest?

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

Ventricular fibrillation is considered a shockable rhythm.

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

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

What should be done immediately after defibrillation?

What is the recommended ventilation rate during CPR for adults with an advanced airway?

What is the initial defibrillation dose for pediatric cardiac arrest?

What is the recommended initial energy for pediatric defibrillation?

The maximum dose of atropine for bradycardia is 5 mg.

What is the recommended action after ROSC is achieved?

Which rhythm requires defibrillation?

How often should chest compressors switch roles to avoid fatigue?

How often should rhythm checks occur during ongoing CPR?

Amiodarone and lidocaine are both used for refractory VF during cardiac arrest.

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

Magnesium sulfate is the drug of choice for torsades de pointes.

What is the next step after identifying a shockable rhythm?

What is the appropriate interval for rhythm checks during CPR?

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

What is the maximum pause allowed for chest compressions during CPR?

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

How should you assess effective CPR in real-time?

How soon should defibrillation be delivered for VF/VT?

What is the primary intervention for ROSC?

What is the compression rate for pediatric CPR?

What is the first-line drug for narrow-complex SVT?

PETCO2 monitoring can help assess the effectiveness of chest compressions.

Defibrillation is the treatment of choice for pulseless electrical activity.

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

What is the recommended energy setting for synchronized cardioversion in narrow, irregular tachycardia?

How often should you deliver breaths during CPR with an advanced airway?

Waveform capnography is the preferred method to confirm endotracheal tube placement.

What is the primary focus during the first few minutes of ROSC?

How should an unconscious patient with a suspected spinal injury be positioned?

What is the preferred route for drug administration during ACLS?

The correct dose of epinephrine for pediatric cardiac arrest is 0.01 mg/kg IV/IO.

How should compressions be performed for an infant during CPR?

ROSC should be followed by immediate reassessment of the patient’s rhythm and ventilation.

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

What is the first step in managing a patient with asystole?
