About CNA Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Exam for RNs

CNA Medical-Surgical Nursing Certification Exam for RNs · CA

Key exam facts

Provider

Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) owns the certification program and specialty exam. Specialty exam committee sets the pass mark with testing consultants; Meazure Learning provides testing/statistical services and in-person delivery, and ProctorU provides remote proctoring.

Format

Computer-based multiple-choice examination for registered nurses/nurse practitioners: independent questions (60-75%) and case-based questions (25-40%). Remote proctoring at home through ProctorU or in-person Meazure Learning test centres in selected Canadian cities. This practice bank uses four-option single-answer questions.

Exam questions

Total questions: 160–165.

Time limit

Four hours (240 minutes) to answer the examination questions. The delivery tutorial does not affect examination timing; booking/check-in procedures are separate.

Passing score

No public numerical pass mark: CNA explicitly states that it is not published. Each specialty committee uses a modified Angoff method, with testing consultants checking fairness and validity. Results are pass or unsuccessful; no percentage or scaled-score cutoff is asserted.

Exam fee

CNA Canadian initial-exam fee schedule: $588 for CNA members or $780 for non-members, plus applicable taxes; includes a non-refundable $130 administrative fee. Separate appointment fee: $85 for remote ProctorU or $110 for an in-person Meazure Learning centre. Eligible unsuccessful candidates may rewrite for $378 (member) or $500 (non-member) over the next two calendar years, plus appointment fees and taxes. Amounts are shown in dollars in CNA's Canadian domestic fee table.
