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 correct defibrillation dose for adults in VF?

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

Amiodarone and lidocaine are both used for refractory VF during cardiac arrest.

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

What is the goal compression fraction for high-quality CPR?

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

What is the preferred method for confirming endotracheal tube placement?

Asystole is a non-shockable rhythm in ACLS.

The proper ventilation rate during advanced airway CPR is 6-8 breaths per minute.

Hypoglycemia is included in the reversible causes of cardiac arrest.

How soon should defibrillation be performed in witnessed VF?

How soon should defibrillation be delivered for VF/VT?

A compression-to-ventilation ratio of 15:2 is recommended for two-rescuer pediatric CPR.

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