CET EKG Exam exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The NHA test plan lists 100 scored questions plus 20 pretest questions, and the NHA CET page describes a two-hour exam taken at a school, at a PSI testing center or with live remote proctoring. NHA reports the CET as a scaled score from 200 to 500, and a scaled score of 390 is passing. The NHA test plan weights three areas: Safety, Compliance, and Coordinated Patient Care 32 percent, EKG Acquisition 44 percent and EKG Analysis and Interpretation 24 percent. NHA reports the CET as a scaled score from 200 to 500 and a scaled score of 390 passes. It does not publish a percent-correct cut, so the portal mock shows 70 percent only as a rough self-check. The NHA CET page says you pay a fee when you schedule the exam but does not state the amount; confirm the current fee on nhanow.com. The content outline spreads questions across 3 areas; the largest are EKG Acquisition (44.0%); Safety, Compliance, and Coordinated Patient Care (32.0%); EKG Analysis and Interpretation (24.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. A high school diploma or GED (or scheduled to earn one within 18 months) plus an EKG training program completed in the last five years or supervised EKG work experience, and evidence of at least ten EKGs on live individuals (NHA).
