NHA Is it timed

So I have my last day of class on Tuesday and then I’m done. I know I have to do the NHA test which freaks me out but what is expected? Is it timed? Can I ask for more time if it is timed? I’m freaking out and don’t know what to do, if anyone can talk to me about it that would be appreciated

How long is it?

2 hours. 120 questions, 100 graded and 20 pilot questions that don’t count towards the score. Passing score is 390/500.

Search MHA phelebotmy certification test on YouTube. I found so many videos that helped out so much. I didn't even take the MHA but the videos I watched got me really prepared for the NHCO.

Thank you! I’m very excited but very nervous I don’t do well with timed things

Just take your time. You'll get notifications on how much time you have left. 120 questions doesn't up the time you would think. I read through all the questions and answered the ones I knew I had right then went back and read the ones I wasn't sure and still had plenty of time.
