Frequently asked questions
This quiz is brief and typically takes 5–10 minutes to complete, depending on your reading speed. It is designed to quickly evaluate key first aid concepts including CPR, emergency response, and injury management.
No. The First Aid Knowledge Test helps you identify knowledge gaps and directs you toward training, but it does not replace hands-on instruction or official certification from accredited providers such as the American Heart Association or Red Cross.
Each answer has a numeric value and the results are summed to create a total score (maximum 20). The results page explains score ranges and provides actionable recommendations, from beginner to advanced levels of first aid knowledge.
Yes — retaking the quiz after training or practice is encouraged. It helps you measure improvement, reinforce learning, and identify remaining areas for growth in emergency response and first aid skills.
Look for courses from reputable organizations such as the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, St. John Ambulance, or local accredited training centers. Many offer blended learning with online theory and in-person practical sessions.
The quiz evaluates your knowledge but does not provide step-by-step hands-on instruction. For practical skills like chest compression technique and AED operation, attend an in-person or blended course that includes supervised practice and feedback.
