BLS Practice Test for Training and Renewal

A BLS practice test can be useful before initial BLS training or when reviewing knowledge before BLS renewal. If your BLS certification is expiring, use the practice questions to refresh your knowledge of CPR, AED use, rescue breathing, and team response before completing your required renewal course or assessment.

You can also use this test as a quick review after studying your BLS training materials. Repeated practice can help you identify topics that you may want to review again before your BLS assessment.

BLS Practice Test With Answers and Explanations

The test provides answers and explanations so you can learn from questions you miss. Instead of only checking whether an answer is correct, take a moment to review why the answer is correct and which BLS concept it tests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this BLS practice test free?
Yes — completely free, no account needed, no email required. Take it as many times as you like.
Does this practice test give me an official BLS certification?
No. This is a free study tool. To get your official, employer-accepted BLS Healthcare Provider certification card, you need to enroll in the full course at $37.95.
What score do I need to pass the BLS exam?
The passing score for the BLS certification exam is 84% or higher (21 out of 25 correct). This practice test uses the same threshold so you know exactly where you stand.
How is BLS different from standard CPR?
BLS (Basic Life Support) is the healthcare-provider level of CPR training. It covers 2-rescuer CPR, BVM usage, advanced airway techniques, and pediatric protocols — designed for nurses, doctors, EMTs, and other clinical staff.
How long does it take to complete the test?
Most people complete it in 10–15 minutes. There is no timer — take as long as you need to read carefully and review the explanations.
Which employers accept this BLS certification?
Our BLS certification is accepted by hospitals, nursing homes, dental offices, outpatient clinics, and most healthcare employers nationwide. It aligns with AHA/ECC 2025 guidelines.
Is this an American Heart Association BLS practice test?
No. CPR Select is a separate training provider and is not an American Heart Association training center. The practice test is designed to help you review common BLS concepts and is not an official AHA examination or certification test.
