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!

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

What is the preferred drug for refractory ventricular fibrillation?

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

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

Which rhythm is not shockable?

What is the first action when you see an unresponsive patient?

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

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

Chest compressions should be performed at a rate of 80-100 compressions per minute.

Which condition is included in the "T's" of reversible cardiac arrest causes?

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

What is the most common cause of PEA?

Hypothermia is one of the "H's" in the reversible causes of cardiac arrest.

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

How should compressions be performed for an infant during CPR?

Defibrillation is contraindicated in patients with ventricular fibrillation.

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

The recommended compression depth for child CPR is 1/3 the depth of the chest.

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

What is the correct dose of epinephrine for pediatric cardiac arrest?

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

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

How many seconds should a pulse check take during cardiac arrest?

What is the primary treatment for symptomatic bradycardia?

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

What is the target PETCO2 during high-quality CPR?

How many breaths per minute should be delivered during CPR with advanced airway?

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

What is the first intervention for a witnessed cardiac arrest in VF?

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

What is the recommended initial energy for pediatric defibrillation?

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

What is the most common reversible cause of cardiac arrest?

What is the recommended maximum interval for chest compression interruptions?

What is the maximum dose of atropine for bradycardia?

What is the appropriate dose of lidocaine for refractory VF?

How often should rhythm checks occur during ongoing CPR?

What is the appropriate energy setting for defibrillation in adults?

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

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

How should chest compressions be performed in pregnant patients?

Which rhythm requires defibrillation?

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

What is the recommended dose of atropine for adult bradycardia?

What is the correct dose of magnesium sulfate for torsades de pointes?

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

What is the recommended initial dose of amiodarone for VF?

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

What is the recommended initial dose of adenosine for adults?

Asystole is a non-shockable rhythm in ACLS.

What is the purpose of targeted temperature management (TTM)?

How should you manage a patient with a suspected opioid overdose?

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

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

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

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

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

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

How soon should defibrillation be delivered for VF/VT?

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

The initial dose of amiodarone for refractory VF is 300 mg IV/IO.

What is the recommended treatment for tension pneumothorax?

The maximum dose of atropine for bradycardia is 5 mg.

How many breaths per minute should be delivered to an adult during advanced airway CPR?

Defibrillation should be attempted within 30 seconds for a witnessed VF arrest.
