Hi Christina,
That's a fantastic goal, and I admire your determination to get there fast! Combining effective study techniques with regular practice will help you pass your CNA tests and CASAS for phlebotomy. Here's how you go about it step-by-step:
1. Focus on your CNA computer (written) test:
- Go over a CNA study guide or take free online CNA practice exams from sites such as Mometrix or Nurse Plus Academy. These will assist you in getting familiar with the structure and types of questions.
- Topics that are often brought up include patient safety, infection control, vital signs, basic care, and patient rights.
- Use flashcards for important concepts and procedures, and study in short periods every day (30 to 45 minutes) to improve retention.
2. Prepare for your CNA skills test:
- Watch nursing educators demonstrate each skill (e.g., handwashing, taking vital signs, helping with mobility, etc.) on YouTube.
- Practice with a friend or in front of a mirror to get confidence in the precise order and wording that the examiners are looking for.
- Understand that confidence, communication, and cleanliness are just as important as technical accuracy!
3. For the CASAS test (for phlebotomy admission):
- Review the basics of writing, reading comprehension, and math. Pay attention to measures, fractions, decimals, and medical terminology.
- Try using online CASAS study materials or practice questions; UDC might even provide free tuition or practice sessions.
You can be prepared in a few weeks if you maintain the same routine. Follow your daily schedule, use timed practice to imitate test conditions, and give yourself a reward for every little victory. The most difficult step has already been performed by you: choosing to improve your abilities. Christina, you've got this! Keep going!
Best wishes!

To pass your CNA exam quickly, study smart. Take free online CNA practice tests every day and focus on key areas like infection control, safety, vital signs and patient rights. Learn from your mistakes to understand the right answers.
For the skills test, practice is important. Watch short demo videos and say the steps out loud until they feel easy. Skills like handwashing, moving patients, and measuring vitals are crucial for your score.
For the CASAS test in phlebotomy at UDC, concentrate on basic reading, English, and simple math such as fractions and percentages. Try a few online CASAS sample tests to get familiar with the format. Studying 1–2 hours a day with focused review will help you pass everything more quickly and confidently.

Hi there!
I know preparing for all these tough tests and classes can be overwhelming, so let me share what worked for me and what didn't and hopefully you can find what works for you.
For the CNA computer test a study guide and practice exams are essential. There are paid resources and free ones. These are the links to the free test preps and study guides:
▪︎ https://uniontestprep.com/cna - here they have lessons, practice tests, flashcards, and study guides.
▪︎ https://www.test-guide.com/free-cna-practice-tests.html - this is just a practice exams.
▪︎ https://www.mometrix.com/academy/cna-practice-test/ - this website offers a free 70 question practice exams.
What helped me was taking practice exams, using flash cards, and making sure I went through all the questions I got wrong and making sure I understood why I got them wrong. I would take the practice exams until I got all of them right.
For the CNA skills test:
Knowing how to perform these skills correctly is critical because if you don't you will automatically fail that skill. Skill demonstation videos really helped me. The candidate handbook for your state or test provider will list exactly which skills and how many you’ll be tested on. Always start and finish with proper hand hygiene unless the skill specifically states otherwise. Also speak everything your doing outloud and why for the "patient" and evaluator.
For the CASAS:
I know the CASAS official site offers free sample test items. I would focus on your weak areas to prevent burnout.
I hope this helps, good luck!
