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!

During CPR with an advanced airway, chest compressions should continue uninterrupted.

Which rhythm is shockable in cardiac arrest?

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

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

How should chest compressions be performed in pregnant patients?

What is the correct defibrillation dose for adults in VF?

Defibrillation is contraindicated in patients with ventricular fibrillation.

How often should rescuers switch roles during CPR?

The compression fraction during CPR should be >60% for effective resuscitation.

The compression-to-ventilation ratio for adult CPR without an advanced airway is 15:2.

What is the proper treatment for pulseless ventricular tachycardia?

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

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

The recommended initial energy for pediatric defibrillation is 2 J/kg.

What is the primary intervention for ROSC?

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

What is the best method to monitor effective ventilation during CPR?

How often should rhythm checks occur during ongoing CPR?

How often should chest compressors switch roles to avoid fatigue?

The maximum dose of atropine for bradycardia is 5 mg.

What is the recommended initial dose of amiodarone in cardiac arrest?

How often should you assess the rhythm during ongoing CPR?

What is the appropriate action for a patient with PEA?

Hypovolemia is one of the reversible causes of cardiac arrest.

Which rhythm requires defibrillation?

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

What should you do if defibrillation is unsuccessful?

What is the correct response if a shockable rhythm persists after the first shock?

What is the ideal chest compression fraction for high-quality CPR?

ROSC should be followed by immediate reassessment of the patientโ€™s rhythm and ventilation.

What is the first drug administered during cardiac arrest?

What is the recommended oxygen saturation goal during post-cardiac arrest care?

What is the maximum dose of lidocaine in ACLS?

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

Which rhythm is not shockable?

Naloxone is used to reverse opioid-induced respiratory depression.

What is the proper dose of naloxone for suspected opioid overdose?

The correct defibrillation dose for adults using a biphasic defibrillator is 120-200 J.

What is the recommended interval for ventilation during advanced airway CPR?

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

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

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

The target temperature for targeted temperature management (TTM) is 32-36ยฐC.

What is the goal oxygen saturation during ACLS care?

What should be done immediately after defibrillation?

How often should you reassess pulse during CPR?

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

Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) is treated with defibrillation.

What is the initial dose of adenosine for pediatric SVT?

PETCO2 levels >10 mmHg during CPR suggest effective chest compressions.

The maximum time for a pulse check during CPR is 10 seconds.

What is the recommended maximum interval for chest compression interruptions?
