NHA Certified Patient Care Technician/Assistant (CPCT/A) Examination
The NHA Certified Patient Care Technician/Assistant (CPCT/A) exam certifies multi-skilled bedside techs (ADLs, safety, infection control, phlebotomy, EKG). This page summarizes the 2025 NHA test plan; UniPrep2Go products are independent prep (not NHA exam material). CPCT/A is not NHA CCMA, not NHA CPT phlebotomy, and not ASPT.

What changed in the current exam cycle
- The 2025 test plan (job analysis 2025) lists 100 scored + 20 pretest items in 2 hours — NHA marketing copy often says “100-question exam.”
- NHA prep pages list a separate CPCT/A plan for sittings after January 2027 — confirm which PDF matches your appointment.
- Older third-party blogs still quote pre-2025 domain cuts (e.g. Patient Care 45 / Infection 11). Use the 2025 outline: 43 / 19 / 16 / 12 / 10.
High-yield facts (commonly tested)
- Official form is 120 items in 2 hours; only the 100 scored items count toward the scaled score.
- NHA exams in the candidate handbook use a 200–500 scale with a passing scaled score of 390.
- Patient Care is the heaviest domain (43/100 scored). Do not over-drill EKG (10) at the expense of ADLs and vitals.
- CPCT/A is not CCMA (medical assisting), not NHA CPT (phlebotomy-only), and not ASPT.
- UniPrep2Go’s free check is a 120-question / 120-minute text diagnostic with four topic buckets — all items scored here; official forms include 20 unscored pretest items and a skills lab.

NHA CPCT/A study guide
What is inside
120 MCQ prompts mapped to CPCT/A bedside work: patient care and ADLs, safety and infection control, phlebotomy plus EKG text basics, and professional practice. Same validated bank as the free 120-question / 120-minute timed check. Official NHA form is 100 scored + 20 pretest / 2 hours / scaled 390 — this deck is independent prep, not a skills lab.
Plan with the free CPCT mock
**Start:** Take the [free 120-question NHA CPCT/A readiness check](/mock-exams/nha-cpct-readiness-check). **Then:** 15–20 Anki cards/day on your weakest topic row. **Before booking:** re-run the timed check and drill only missed stems.
Pitfalls this deck targets
Candidates mix CPCT/A with CCMA, NHA CPT phlebotomy, or ASPT; over-drill EKG (10 scored items) and skip Patient Care (43). Cards keep PCT scope: report to the nurse, do not diagnose or titrate meds.
What this does not replace
NHA registration, the official practice test, or a skills lab. Ownable .apkg only — not NHA exam material.
