PASS THE 2026
CNA WRITTEN EXAM ON YOUR FIRST TRY
“CNA Hero” gives you the complete exam prep solution, built for first-time success.
Trusted by thousands of CNA candidates to pass their written exam the first time.
About the CNA Exam
You already know the CNA exam has two parts: the skills test and the written test.
- The skills tests don’t need to be perfect; small mistakes won’t fail you.
- The written test is different. With only one right answer for each question, even the smallest slip can cost you.
To help with that, we built CNA Hero: a prep system designed for 2026 that gives you the confidence, focus, and accuracy you need to pass the first time.
Who Can Take The CNA Test?
You may be eligible to take the CNA exam if you meet most of these requirements (remember, specifics can vary by state):
- Age: Usually 16–18 years old, depending on your state.
- Training: A state-approved CNA program (at least 75 hours of class + clinical work; some states require up to 150).
- Education: A high school diploma or GED (General Educational Development) is often preferred by employers, but not always required for the exam.
- Background check: A clean record is needed before certification.
- Health clearance: Some states ask for immunizations, TB testing, or a physical exam.
- Physical ability: Be ready to lift 35–50 lbs, stand for long periods, and handle patient transfers.
- The exam itself: You’ll need to pass both the written test and the clinical skills test.
- State differences: States like California and Florida may have extra training hours or different application steps.
So whether you’re fresh out of school, changing careers, or re-entering the workforce, if you’ve met your state’s training requirements, you’re eligible to test.

The easiest CNA jobs are usually in long-term care assisted living facilities or home health care, where patient needs are more routine and the pace is slower compared to hospitals or nursing homes.
Most CNA written exams have 60–70 questions, and you need about 70–80% correct to pass. That means you can usually miss 12–18 questions, depending on your state’s scoring.
If you fail, you can retake the exam up to three times within 24 months of finishing your training. After three failed attempts, most states require you to redo CNA training before testing again.
The most common mistake is missing critical steps, like proper handwashing, patient safety, or positioning.
