CPCT/A Exam Practice Questions: Prepare with Confidence for Your Patient Care Technician Exam
You have worked hard to get here, and the CPCT/A exam is your chance to show it. This question bank gives you 267 original multiple-choice questions written to NHA's 2025 CPCT/A test plan, covering patient care, safety and compliance, infection control, phlebotomy and EKG. Every question explains why the right answer is right and why each wrong answer is wrong, so each practice session teaches you something.
What's included
- 267 original practice questions covering every domain of the CPCT/A outline: Patient Care; Compliance, Safety and Professional Responsibility; Infection Control; Phlebotomy and Nonblood Specimen Collection; and EKG.
- A 25-question diagnostic that touches every topic area, so you can see your strengths and the areas to focus on first.
- A full-length timed practice exam: 120 questions in 2 hours, the same length and time as the real CPCT/A exam, weighted to the official domain percentages.
- A 30-question timed drill that mixes every domain at real exam pace, perfect for a quick check between study sessions.
- Section sets by domain for focused, untimed practice: Patient Care (32), Compliance, Safety, and Professional Responsibility (15), Infection Control (15), Phlebotomy and Nonblood Specimen Collection (15), EKG (15).
- 17 rhythm strip questions with real strip images: six-second lead II strips on standard ECG paper (25 mm/s, 10 mm/mV) covering sinus rhythms, atrial fibrillation and flutter, PVCs, ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation, asystole and common artifacts. You measure the rate, PR and QRS yourself, just as you will on the exam.
- A full explanation for every answer choice. You will see why the right answer is right and why each wrong answer is wrong.

How many questions are included?
267 original multiple-choice questions: a 25-question diagnostic, a 120-question timed practice exam, a 30-question timed drill and section sets for each domain. Each question appears in only one of these, so nothing repeats.
Is the practice exam timed like the real one?
Yes. The practice exam has 120 questions and a 2-hour time limit, matching the length and time of the CPCT/A exam, with questions spread across the domains by the official weights.
Do the questions explain the answers?
Yes. Every question explains why the correct answer is right and why each of the other choices is wrong, so you learn from every miss.
Are these real exam questions?
No. Every question is original and written to NHA's published outline. Real exam questions are confidential, and we do not use them.
What does it cost?
$9.99 for the question bank. There are no video lessons or study guides bundled in, which keeps the price low.
Do the rhythm questions show real strips?
Yes. 17 questions show a six-second lead II rhythm strip on standard ECG paper, and you read the rate, rhythm and intervals from the strip yourself. The free 25-question diagnostic uses questions without images, so the strip questions are waiting for you in the practice exam, the drill and the section sets.
I am testing before January 13, 2027. Is this still useful?
Yes. NHA's January 13, 2027 update is a refresh of the same job, and the core skills of patient care, safety, infection control, phlebotomy and EKG stay the same. The domain weights shift a little, which is why we tell you exactly which plan these questions follow.
