For individuals getting ready to take the CNA test, it’s difficult to prepare for the written portion. In a majority of states, you have to pass the written and clinical skills portion with a 70% or higher to receive CNA certification. Although we can’t tell you exactly what will be on the written portion of the CNA exam, we can give you some tips on how to study for it.
One good way to ensure that you’ll be prepared for the test is to study flashcards of terms and other common knowledge that potential CNAs should know. There are some pre-made flashcard sets available on Quizlet.com. Click our link to find a variety of helpful flashcard sets.

Lastly, have someone assist you with studying. This could mean getting some of your peers to have you answer practice questions or having them grade you based on the answers you give to pre-set questions with a timer. This will help you to have a more pressured atmosphere that comes with taking any standardized test.
