The CCRN-Adult exam (CCRN (Adult) - Direct Care Eligibility Pathway) is the official AACN exam that leads to the CCRN (Adult) certification, a credential at the Professional level. Related certifications include CCRN (Neonatal), CCRN (Pediatric). ActualVCE provides 1000 practice questions to help you prepare for it with confidence.

The CCRN-Adult exam contains 150 (125 scored + 25 unscored pretest items) questions and gives you 180 minutes to finish them. Before exam day, divide the total time by the question count so you know the pace you need to keep, and flag difficult items instead of getting stuck on them. Running at least one full timed session in the ActualVCE test engine is the best way to make that time pressure feel familiar.

You need Scaled score (cut score determined by AACN; not publicly fixed as raw percentage) to pass, and the official registration fee is USD 250 (AACN member) / USD 365 (non-member). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so it pays to test yourself first. When your scores on the ActualVCE timed practice tests stay consistently above the passing line, you are ready to book the exam.
