What's in the PDF
How the PDF matches the real CPT exam
The real NHA CPT exam has 120 questions (100 scored, 20 unscored) across 5 content domains — you need a scaled score of 390/500 to pass. Our 50-question PDF uses the same domain proportions, so you're practicing exactly what you'll face.
Sample questions from the PDF
Here's what 3 of the 50 questions look like:
1.Which federal agency's regulations require employers to provide personal protective equipment and engineering controls to protect phlebotomists from bloodborne pathogen exposure?
A. The Joint Commission
B. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
C. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
D. College of American Pathologists (CAP)
2.Which of the following is a standard component of the evacuated tube system used for venipuncture?
A. A needle, a holder/adapter, and a vacuum collection tube
B. Only a syringe and needle, with no tube involved
C. A lancet and microcontainer only
D. A catheter and IV bag
3.Why is skin antisepsis especially rigorous (e.g., using chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine with a longer contact time) for blood culture collection compared to routine venipuncture?
A. Blood culture results are extremely sensitive to even small amounts of skin contaminant bacteria, which can cause a false-positive result
B. Blood culture collection does not actually require any antiseptic
C. Rigorous antisepsis for blood cultures is only a historical practice with no current basis
D. Standard alcohol antisepsis is always equally effective for blood cultures as routine draws
Why is this free?
Most phlebotomy prep sites charge $20–$40 for a practice test PDF. We think that's backwards — the people who need this most are people about to start a new career, not people with extra money to spend.
CertPrepAcademy makes money through Google ads and Amazon affiliate links on study materials. That pays the bills without charging you anything.
