How do you know what you got wrong on State exam?

Yes, it's cna hopeful, again..... I also just found out, that when you take your State Board Exam, you are not told what you did wrong. For example, on the written (computer) exam, you are given 65 questions. At the very end, it will only flash on the screen, "passed" or "failed". It does not show you which questions you got wrong, and what the correct answer is. And on the skills test, Once you have finished your 3rd skill, the tester will either say "congratulations you passed" or " I'm sorry, you have failed". But, again, they don't tell you which skill you have failed and what the correct way to do it is. How come? I don't think that's right. How else, are you going to learn?? Gee, I just realized that I have been nothing but a "Debbie downer" here lately, on my new threads.....It may seem like Im disliking the cna career, before I am even officialy there. Sorry, for the negetivity, I honestly cannot wait to be a cna... I just dont understand the State of FL way of thinking......:anmllvr:

Good point. I guess if you fail the first time and don't know what you did wrong, then you'll end up studying it all and know everything better.

Or, you can't pass on the answers to other people.

That's my guess. :)

I took my test in WI through Pearson Vue and they did tell us after our skills what we did wrong. Even got to hear what my partner did wrong. For the written part, everyone passed. We didn't know if we'd gotten all the questions right though.

Wait does everyone take their test from Pearson VUE or do some test sites have different providers?
