Ready to Crush ACLS
Are you ready to crush ACLS? If so, you need to be aware of Advanced Cardiac Life Support Concepts and practice with questions. At Review Renew ACLS we provide this to help students prepare for the test. This does not replace the American Heart Association Mandatory Self Assessment. However, many students report the Review Renew ALS practice and questions help with the pretest.

Basic Life Support
To be successful with ACLS, it is important to have a good understanding of the basics. To begin with, make sure you are familiar with the essential elements of Basic Life Support. Basic Life Support is the Core of Advanced Life support classes.
More importantly, Basic Life Support is the pre-requisite to Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). This means you need a Basic Life Support Certification before attending an Advanced Cardiac Life Support Class. If you are looking to certify in ACLS, but do not have a BLS Certification, enroll here!

The Exam
The ACLS is a certification exam that is proctored by an American Heart Association (AHA) Instructor. This exam measures your knowledge of basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and advanced techniques. As mentioned earlier, Blocks are all over the exam and so are other heart rhythms. In addition to heart rhythms, there is pharmacology and advanced applications. Students must be able to determine the best choice of treatment based on clinical presentations given in a paragraph.
To pass the exam, you need to score at least 84% or better on the test. This means you can only miss 8 questions on a 50 question test.
