What is the Home Health Aide exam?
The home health aide (HHA) competency evaluation confirms that an aide can safely give personal care in a client’s home under a nurse-directed care plan. For aides of Medicare-certified agencies, federal rule 42 CFR 484.80 requires at least 75 hours of training (at least 16 of them supervised practical training) and an evaluation by a registered nurse covering every listed subject; states may add hours or their own test. This UniPrep2Go page is an independent 60-question / 75-minute diagnostic drawn from a 120-item bank, scored by topic — not a state, CMS, or agency exam and not a skills check.
Administered by: Your home health agency or approved training program, under 42 CFR 484.80 and any stricter state rules — confirm the format with them. (official site ↗)
Official format: No national question count, time limit, or pass score. Under 42 CFR 484.80 a registered nurse must observe communication, vital signs, hygiene and grooming, transfers and ambulation, and range of motion and positioning with a patient or pseudo-patient; other subjects may be written, oral, or observed, and an aide who is unsatisfactory in more than one required area has not passed. UniPrep mock: 60 multiple-choice questions, 75 minutes, 70% readiness target with topic scoring — knowledge drill only, not the skills demonstration.
Who this exam is for
Trainees and working HHAs preparing state competency or agency orientation quizzes; CNA→HHA transition candidates who need home-care framing (client home, care plan, reporting). Not a substitute for supervised skills practice.
How to prepare
Study your state/agency handbook for ADLs, infection control, body mechanics, vital-sign reporting thresholds, abuse reporting, and HIPAA. Practice skills in lab/clinical. Take this free timed diagnostic to find weak domains, then drill the linked Home Health Aide Anki waitlist when the .apkg ships.
Confirm current fees, eligibility, and scheduling with Home health agency / training program (42 CFR 484.80) before you book the real exam.

What is the Home Health Aide exam?
It is the competency evaluation an aide must pass before working for a Medicare-certified home health agency. Under 42 CFR 484.80 a registered nurse checks every required subject — communication, observation and reporting, vital signs, infection control, home safety, emergencies, nutrition, personal care, transfers, and range of motion — with hands-on tasks observed and the rest by written or oral test. The program sets the number of questions and the pass mark.
Is this an official Home Health Aide exam?
No. UniPrep2Go’s readiness check is independent timed practice — not a state board, CMS, or training-program official exam.
Is the HHA test the same as the CNA exam?
They overlap on ADLs and safety, but HHA focuses on care in the client’s home under a home-health care plan. Do not assume a CNA written test is identical to your state’s HHA competency.
How many questions are on this UniPrep2Go practice test?
Each attempt is 60 multiple-choice questions in 75 minutes — 15 from each topic, drawn from a 120-item bank so retakes differ — with a 70% readiness target and topic scores for personal care, home safety and infection control, observation and reporting, and ethics.
Does New York (or my state) use this exact exam?
No. States set their own HHA training and competency rules. Use this diagnostic for themes, then verify hours, skills checklist, and testing vendor with your state program.
Is there a Home Health Aide Anki deck?
A Home Health Aide Anki deck is planned on UniPrep2Go (waitlist). Use this free readiness check now to benchmark weak topics.
