About CNA Skills Test

CNA Skills Test is an independent guide to the hands-on part of the nurse aide competency exam: the clinical (manual) skills test. We read each state's current candidate handbook and testing-vendor pages and turn them into plain answers: which skills are on the list, how many you perform, how long you get, which steps are critical, how close measurements must be and what fails people.

How we source facts

Every skills list, time limit and tolerance comes from an official handbook or state page linked on the same page, with the date we checked it. When a handbook doesn't say something, we say so instead of guessing. Handbooks change; yours always wins.

What we sell

The guides are free. Full access ($29 one-time or $9/month) covers the other half of the exam: a timed written-exam simulator with original questions, the full question bank and step-by-step skill checklists. See pricing.

Not affiliated

We are not affiliated with any state agency, testing vendor (Credentia, Prometric, D&S Diversified Technologies/Headmaster, Southern Illinois University) or the NCSBN.
