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 treatment for pulseless ventricular tachycardia?

What is the dose of epinephrine for adult cardiac arrest?

Defibrillation is the treatment of choice for pulseless electrical activity.

How often should rhythm checks occur during ongoing CPR?

Which rhythm is shockable in cardiac arrest?

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

Asystole is a shockable rhythm during cardiac arrest.

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

The target PETCO2 during effective chest compressions is >10 mmHg.

How should you treat VF if it persists after 3 shocks?

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

What is the treatment for symptomatic bradycardia unresponsive to atropine?

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

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

Chest compressions should be paused to deliver ventilation during advanced airway CPR.

Naloxone is used to reverse opioid-induced respiratory depression.

Which rhythm is non-shockable during cardiac arrest?

How should you position an unconscious patient with a suspected spinal injury?

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

What is the maximum dose of atropine for bradycardia?

Chest compressions should be started immediately for a patient in asystole.

Which rhythm is not shockable?

Asystole is a non-shockable rhythm in ACLS.

How should you treat a patient in asystole?

Adenosine is contraindicated in unstable patients with narrow-complex SVT.

What is the initial dose of epinephrine during cardiac arrest?

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

How should you confirm ET tube placement in a patient?

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