Precourse Self-Assessment Results

Congratulations!
Congratulations, you have passed the Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support
Precourse Self-Assessment with a score of

77%
Scores for Major Testing Areas

This precourse self-assessment has 3 sections covering these major testing areas:

The Rhythm Identification section tested your ability to identify the basic core
rhythms used in the ACLS Provider Course and written exam. You scored 65% on
Rhythm Identification.

The Pharmacology section tested your ability to identify drugs used in clinical
situations. You scored 70% on Pharmacology.

The Practical Application section tested your ability to identify a rhythm and then
choose the correct action or drug, as you will be expected to do in the learning
stations and the Megacode Testing Station. You scored 95% on Practical Application.

Scores for Diagnosis Questions

The dignosis questions tested your knowledge of material found in ACLS core cases.
If you scored low on a diagnosis question, review the case, including the drugs and
the series and sequence of interventions used in the case.

Here is how you scored on diagnosis questions:

Asystole: 75% (Question: 3/4)

Tachycardia: 67% (Question: 4/6)
VF/pVT: 77% (Question: 10/13)
PEA: 100% (Question: 4/4)
Bradycardia: 64% (Question: 7/11)
Stable tachycardia: 100% (Question: 5/5)
Unstable tachycardia: 100% (Question: 1/1)
ACS: 33% (Question: 1/3)
Stroke: 50% (Question: 1/2)
VF/pVT treated with high-quality BLS: 100% (Question: 6/6)
Airway management treatment: 100% (Question: 4/4)

Scores for Algorithm Questions

The algorithm questions tested your knowledge of material found in ACLS core
algorithms. If you scored low on an algorithm question, review the algorithm,
including the drugs and the sequence of interventions in the algorithm.

Here is how you scored on algorithm questions:

Cardiac arrest: 85% (Question: 23/27)

Tachycardia: 83% (Question: 10/12)
Bradycardia: 64% (Question: 7/11)
ACS: 33% (Question: 1/3)
Stroke: 50% (Question: 1/2)

Scores for Drug Questions

The drug questions tested pharmacology material found in ACLS core cases. If you
scored low on specific drug knowledge, make sure you know how and when the drug
is used as well as what dose to use in specific situations, such as atropine for PEA vs
ACS, or dopamine and epinephrine for bradycardia.

Here is how you scored on drug questions:

General pharmacology: 60% (Question: 3/5)

Atropine: 50% (Question: 1/2)
Nitroglycerin: 0% (Question: 0/1)
Epinephrine: 86% (Question: 6/7)
Aspirin and fibrinolytics: 100% (Question: 1/1)
Aspirin: 0% (Question: 0/2)
Adenosine: 100% (Question: 3/3)
Amiodarone: 100% (Question: 2/2)
