This practice exam reproduces the CCMA at full length: 180 questions in 3 hours, one minute per question. The real exam counts 150 of them and uses the other 30 to try out new items; they are mixed in and look the same, so the mock includes the full number. Questions are drawn from each of the twelve areas of the NHA test plan in proportion to their weight, from general patient care, the largest with 35 questions in the mock, to medical law and ethics with 7. Answers are not shown until you mark the test, as on test day. The result panel gives your share of right answers, the study target of 80% set by this site and your score in each area. The NHA reports a scaled score instead, scaled score of 390 (scale 200 to 500), obtained by equating test forms; no number of right answers converts to it, which is why the mock uses a study target and says so.

How the mock is drawn
Each area receives its number of questions from the test plan scaled to 180: foundational knowledge 18, anatomy, physiology 10, intake and vitals 17, general patient care 35, infection control 18, poct and lab 11, phlebotomy 14, ekg 8, care coordination 14, administrative 14, communication 14, law and ethics 7. The six clinical areas together take 103 questions. Within an area the questions are shuffled from our pool, so each new mock is a new draw; a shared link replays the same draw for a study partner.
Using the question map and flags
The grid next to the questions shows which ones you have answered and which you have flagged. A good habit for a long exam: answer every question on the first pass, even when unsure, and flag the ones you want to revisit. With time left at the end, go back to the flags only.
Reading the result
The result panel shows the total and the score in each area. Read it in three steps:
- Clinical areas first. They make up most of the exam; a low score in general patient care or infection control costs the most.
- Then the areas with few questions. With only 7 law and ethics questions, one or two misses swing the area score a lot; look at what you missed rather than the percentage.
- Then the total against the study target, remembering that the NHA's scaled score is computed differently.
Before and after
Before the first mock, practice each area at least once with the CCMA practice test, which corrects every answer at once. After each mock, the missed questions are saved in this browser for the review page. For eligibility, registration and retakes, see the CCMA exam guide; for the AAMA's credential, the CMA (AAMA) mock has a different length and timing.
The questions are ours, written from the topics of the NHA test plan; they are not questions from the real exam.
