Regarding results timing, which of the following is true?

• A. Skills results may be immediate or within days
• B. Skills results are always available after a week
• C. Skills results are never released to candidates
• D. Skills results are only released to employers

Answer: (A)

Timing for skills results can vary. On the CNA skills evaluation, an examiner may indicate a pass right after the skills segment if all required steps are completed correctly with proper safety. In other cases, the official scoring and posting of results may take a few days as the results are finalized and entered into the registry. So, results may be immediate or within days. The other options aren’t accurate because results aren’t fixed to a week, aren’t never released to candidates, and aren’t shared only with employers; candidates typically receive their own results, with timing depending on the center.
