New Hampshire LNA Exam Prep: Requirements & Study Path
Supplemental study for New Hampshire Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) candidates on the Excel Testing competency pathway. Confirm the Competency Test Guide outline, registration uploads, and OPLC / Board of Nursing licensing steps on official pages.
How CNA testing works in New Hampshire
Typical vendor path: Excel Testing. MedCertPrep is independent exam prep, not a state registry. Use the official resources section for eligibility, fees, and skills wording.
- New Hampshire Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA) competency testing is commonly administered by Excel Testing (also used by some approved college sites). It is not Credentia NNAAP, not Prometric, and not Headmaster.
- Complete an approved LNA training program (or follow reinstatement / challenge rules from the Board), then register for written and skills exams through Excel Testing or an approved testing site listed by OPLC.
- Written/oral exam (per the Excel Competency Test Guide; confirm the live PDF): typically 60 multiple-choice questions in 90 minutes. Passing is 70% or higher. Content outline percentages are published in the guide.
- Clinical skills exam: you typically demonstrate four randomly selected skills in 30 minutes. Bold steps are immediate failures if missed. Missing four or more non-bold skill errors also fails. Indirect care habits (privacy, ID check, infection control, call bell, safety) are scored across the skills day.
- Written and skills are commonly given the same day. Verbal results are often provided after both portions. Retakes for a failed portion commonly require at least a two-day wait. Confirm live fees and retake rules with Excel Testing.
- After you pass both parts, apply for LNA licensure through the New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification / Board of Nursing process. Excel Testing reports scores to the Board.
- MedCertPrep written practice is supplemental theme prep. New Hampshire scored skills steps still come from the Excel Competency Test Guide.
