Passing score on exam

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

I wanted to know if anyone knew what the passing grade is on the written part of the cna exam? I haven't started class yet, so I took a practice test to see how I'd do it was 60 questions and I got 56 right. Would this be a passing grade?

It did not have the score on mine. This is what it said (i kept the paper b/c i was soo happy lol )

Exam: Written Result: Pass

Congratulations! You have passed the NNAAP Written Evaluation in Maryland.

If you have passed the Written Examination today or have passed the Written Examination within the lastyear, your name will be placed will be placed on the Maryland Geriatric Nursing Assistant Registry.

It said the same thing on the skills paper as well. I think that if you fail though, it will tell you what you missed on the test. I'm not sure if they put the score on there though. (I only got a glimpse of someone's paper who had failed & didn't want to appear nosy!)

I don't know. It would depend on your state I think.

In texas its 80%. When I took my test they didn't even tell me what I made on the written they just said pass and gave me a yellow sheet that just says pass. On the Skills thats a different story. Its 4 out of 5 skills right.
