Hi everyone!
I took my written and skills tests today and I'm so glad I went through it okay! When I arrived at my testing site, I found out that I could do my skills first, which was a total relief. I'm in Ohio, and here we are given hand-washing and four other randomly picked skills. (Even though my friends from my training class and I got eerily similar skills... ) My four other skills were mouth care, hair care, partial bed bath (eyes, face, and one arm) and transfer from wheelchair to bed. Good luck to everyone with their tests and be confident in yourself.

Good Luck with your exam! I was so nervous I thought I was going to faint, but it was easier than I thought it would be.

We had 70 questions but 10 were test questions that we were not graded on, you had no idea which ones were for what though.

The skills I got were handwashing (ofcouse), ROM on shoulder, nailcare, transfer from bed to wheelchair, and weight.

They had it where you would be paired according to how you finished your test. Anyways, I finished my test and waited going through my booklet again and again until I was close to the last. I had to settle my nerves!

Let me put it to you this way, the girl that I was partnered with did not have the book to study from. Her license lapsed and she retook the exam 8 years after it lapsed. She was trying to recall everything from her classes. She passed too!
