About the Kansas CNA Competency Exam

The Kansas Certified Nursing Assistant competency exam is administered by KDADS Health Occupations Credentialing (state-run, computer-based, multiple statewide sites), under the oversight of the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) - Health Occupations Credentialing. It combines a 100-question written (or oral) knowledge test requiring 75% to pass with a hands-on skills evaluation. Exam must be taken within 12 months of training completion; $20 rescheduling fee for retakes.

Why this matters: Both the written and skills portions must usually be passed within a set window of completing your training program. Missing that window in Kansas can mean retaking your training hours, not just the exam.

Why Practice Before the Test

The Kansas CNA written exam covers real clinical knowledge, from infection control to residents' rights under federal OBRA 1987 protections. Practising realistic multiple-choice questions with full explanations builds the recall speed you need, especially for scenario-based questions that test judgment, not just memorization.

About the CNA (Nursing Assistant), nationwide

The CNA written competency exam is administered state by state, most commonly through Credentia (NNAAP), Prometric, or D&S/Headmaster, but the underlying content domains, basic nursing skills, personal care skills, residents' rights, and infection control, are set nationally and tested everywhere.

Things that make the biggest difference

Basic Nursing Skills and Personal Care Skills carry the most weight combined

Vital signs, positioning and transfers, and activities of daily living make up the largest share of most state exams. These are also the skills tested again on the hands-on skills portion, so mastering them pays off twice.

Residents' Rights questions have a clear, correct pattern

The right answer almost always favors dignity, privacy, choice, and informed consent. When in doubt between two options, choose the one that respects the resident's autonomy.

Know your state's specific vendor and renewal requirements

Testing vendor, question count, and renewal periods vary by state, some renew every 2 years, others require registry renewal on a different cycle. Confirm your state's specific process before test day.
