Exam facts
Medication Aide / Medication Assistant (often MACE®)
Medication aide (CMA-med-aide / MACE) exams certify nurse aides to administer certain medications in long-term care under nurse supervision. There is no single national license: many states use NCSBN’s Medication Aide Certification Examination (MACE), typically 60 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours (some Credentia/NCSBN outlines list 50 scored + 10 pretest). Other states (e.g. Alabama written 50Q) use their own form. UniPrep’s check is a 60-question / 75-minute diagnostic (free 25-question version). Independent prep — not NCSBN, Credentia, or a state board exam. Not RN/LPN and not NNAAP CNA.
- Questions
- Typical Credentia/NCSBN MACE: 60 multiple-choice (often 50 scored + 10 pretest); some states 50 scored only — verify your handbook
- Time
- Typically 2 hours for MACE written
- Passing score
- Set by NCSBN/state (not a published national percent)
- Delivery
- Computer-based written; skills/competency may be separate by state
- Administered by
- State boards of nursing / nurse-aide registries (NCSBN MACE in participating states)
Knowledge domains and weights
| Domain | Official weight |
|---|---|
| Medication administration, observation, reporting | ~60% on published MACE outlines |
| Medication concepts / measurements | ~24% on published MACE outlines |
| Authorized duties / scope | ~16% on published MACE outlines |
| UniPrep buckets | Six rights, routes, safety, documentation — 15 each |
What changed in the current exam cycle
- MACE is state-adopted, not a universal U.S. license. Confirm your board’s handbook before treating 60Q/2h as yours.
- UniPrep mock is 60Q / 75 min — same item count as typical MACE, shorter clock, 70% diagnostic pass.
High-yield facts (commonly tested)
- Typical MACE: 60Q / 2h. UniPrep: 60Q / 75 min / 70%.
- Medication aides work under nurse supervision — do not independently change doses or start IVs.
- ≠ NNAAP CNA (70Q / 2h written + skills) and ≠ LPN/RN.
