How does the CNA exam handle candidates who experience a technical failure at the testing center during the exam?
Answer: The candidate is typically rescheduled at no additional charge
If a technical failure occurs at the testing center through no fault of the candidate, Prometric and the applicable board typically arrange a rescheduled appointment without additional fees.

Answer: To prevent score comparisons between candidates and minimize cheating
Using multiple forms with different questions prevents candidates from sharing specific exam content and ensures that passing scores reflect competency rather than memorized answers.
