Free BLS & ACLS practice quizzes

Trust's free BLS & ACLS practice quizzes are self-checks for clinicians preparing to recertify. Each quiz pulls 10 random questions from a larger bank — BLS Recert Readiness draws from 25 questions, ACLS Recert Readiness from 16, PALS Recert Readiness from 13, and NREMT Recert Check from 12 — so retaking a quiz gives you a different mix of items each time, not the same ten questions in a loop.

The question banks cover four areas: BLS (compressions, airway and breathing, AED use, and team-based response), ACLS (rhythm recognition, the tachycardia and bradycardia algorithms, arrest drug dosing, and post-arrest care), PALS (pediatric assessment, vascular access, arrhythmia management, and shock), and NREMT recertification (the NCCP continuing-education model, airway, cardiac, trauma, medical, and operations content used in paramedic and EMT recert). Every item is original, written from published guideline material rather than copied from any course, and each one is mapped to the currently active AHA guideline set or the NREMT NCCP content outline it draws from.

As soon as you answer a question, Trust shows you whether you were right and gives a short explanation plus the specific source it came from — an AHA algorithm name or an NREMT/NAEMSP reference — along with the month that question was last verified against public guideline material. At the end of a quiz you get a topic-by-topic breakdown so you can see exactly which areas need review before your real course, plus a short leaderboard and the option to add your certification card to the Trust wallet so you get a reminder before it expires.

None of this is a substitute for hands-on training. These are practice questions only — they are not a certification, they do not carry continuing education credit, and Trust is not affiliated with, and does not certify on behalf of, the American Heart Association or NREMT. To actually recertify, you still need to complete an accredited AHA provider or renewal course (or, for EMS clinicians, meet the NREMT NCCP requirements) including any required hands-on skills or megacode check. Use these quizzes to find your weak spots in the days beforehand, not as a replacement for that course, and treat a strong quiz score as a sign you're ready for the hands-on portion, not as proof you've completed it.
