## What is the Medication Aide exam?

Medication aide / medication assistant exams certify nurse aides to administer certain medications in long-term care under nurse supervision. Many states use NCSBN’s MACE (typically 60 multiple-choice questions / 2 hours). Other states use their own form. This is not RN/LPN practice and not the NNAAP CNA exam.

- Administered by: State boards of nursing / nurse-aide registries (NCSBN MACE where adopted)
- Official format: Typical MACE written: 60 questions / 2 hours (some outlines 50 scored + 10 pretest); pass set by NCSBN/state. UniPrep mock: 60 questions / 75 minutes / 70% diagnostic. Confirm your state handbook.

## Official certification resources

Topic weights and timing follow published State boards of nursing — MACE / medication aide outlines. Verify fees and scheduling on the official site — UniPrep2Go questions are independent study aids.
