What to Expect

Congratulations on completing FirstAidWeb’s ACLS Provider Certification Course! You’ve invested the time, effort, and commitmentβ€”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 answerβ€”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 examβ€”no notes, no outside help.
  • Plan for one sittingβ€”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 mindfulβ€”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 stressβ€”you’ll have up to three consecutive attempts before a review break is enforced. After that, you can retake the exam.

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

What is the proper treatment for pulseless ventricular tachycardia?

Asystole is a non-shockable rhythm in ACLS.

What is the recommended maximum interval for chest compression interruptions?

What is the drug of choice for stable wide-complex tachycardia?

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

The maximum dose of atropine for bradycardia is 5 mg.

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

What is the correct dose of dopamine for bradycardia?

What is the first-line treatment for narrow-complex tachycardia?

The correct dose of adenosine for pediatric SVT is 0.1 mg/kg IV.

PETCO2 monitoring can help assess the effectiveness of chest compressions.

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

What is the recommended initial dose of amiodarone for VF?

What is the appropriate action for a patient with PEA?

What is the recommended compression fraction for effective CPR?

The proper ventilation rate during advanced airway CPR is 6-8 breaths per minute.

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

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

What is the maximum pause duration between chest compressions?

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

How should you assess effective CPR in real-time?

Atropine is used to treat pulseless ventricular tachycardia.

What rhythm requires immediate defibrillation?

What is the treatment for symptomatic bradycardia unresponsive to atropine?

Epinephrine is administered every 5-10 minutes during cardiac arrest.

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

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

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

What is the recommended initial treatment for narrow-complex SVT?

The recommended defibrillation dose for pediatric VF arrest is 4 J/kg.

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

What is the preferred method for confirming endotracheal tube placement?

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

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

Synchronized cardioversion is used for pulseless ventricular tachycardia.
