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!

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

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

Amiodarone is the first-line drug for treating ventricular fibrillation.

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

What is the recommended initial dose of adenosine for adults?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How often should you reassess pulse during CPR?

Ventricular fibrillation is a non-shockable rhythm.

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

How soon should defibrillation be performed in witnessed VF?
