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!

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

Which rhythm requires transcutaneous pacing if symptomatic?

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

What is the primary treatment for VF during cardiac arrest?

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

What is the best method to monitor the quality of CPR?

Which rhythm is not shockable?

How should you confirm ET tube placement in a patient?

What is the most common reversible cause of cardiac arrest?

What is the appropriate interval for delivering epinephrine during cardiac arrest?

What is the first drug given for VF or pulseless VT?

How should you position a pregnant patient during resuscitation?

Asystole is a non-shockable rhythm in ACLS.

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

How often should epinephrine be administered during cardiac arrest?

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

Adenosine is the drug of choice for pulseless electrical activity (PEA).

What is the recommended first action for an unresponsive infant?

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

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

What is the primary focus during the first 10 minutes of post-cardiac arrest care?

What is the most reliable indicator of effective chest compressions?

What rhythm is described as a chaotic, irregular deflection with no P or QRS waves?

What is the recommended initial dose of amiodarone for VF?

What is the compression rate for CPR in adults?

What is the next step if VF persists after 2 defibrillation attempts?

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

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

What is the appropriate treatment for VF in cardiac arrest?

PETCO2 levels >10 mmHg during CPR indicate high-quality chest compressions.

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

What is the recommended dose of dopamine infusion for bradycardia?

What is the preferred method for confirming endotracheal tube placement?

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

What is the recommended rate of chest compressions per minute?

PETCO2 monitoring can help assess the effectiveness of chest compressions.

What is the primary goal during post-cardiac arrest care?

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

How often should rhythm checks occur during ongoing CPR?

What is the correct energy setting for synchronized cardioversion in unstable VT?

What is the proper energy setting for synchronized cardioversion of unstable atrial fibrillation?

What is the compression depth for infant CPR?

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

What is the recommended action after ROSC is achieved?

What is the dose of adenosine for pediatric SVT?

Defibrillation is the treatment of choice for pulseless electrical activity.

What should be done immediately after defibrillation?

What is the initial dose of adenosine for pediatric SVT?

What is the initial dose of amiodarone for pulseless ventricular tachycardia?

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

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

ROSC is defined as the return of a detectable pulse and effective blood circulation.

Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is treated with defibrillation.

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

What is the compression-to-ventilation ratio for pediatric CPR with one rescuer?
