I will email a link to the ASI site to your email. ASI provides testing for CO and you can find some practice tests and the procedures you need to do. Do you know which skills you missed because we may be able to provide some tips for you. But you also need to talk with your Testing service in CO and ask them what you need to do differently - also your inservice person or trainer should be able to help you with this.
Do keep us posted. Yes, you are right. We need good NAs and yes, you do have to pass all of the skills - yes everyone has to do this.
Good luck

: I am trying to get my certification in the state of Colorado. My problem is that I am very frustrated with the certification boards manual skills test. We are required to get a score of 5 out of 5 on the skills test to be able to take the written exam. This seems a ittle extreem to me. Especially when they are in such dire need for CNA's. Is this the standard in other states as well? I have taken 1 skills exam and failed. They only told me the skills that I did not pass, not exactly what I did wrong. This is frustrating for me because I thought I did well. How can I improve if I don't know what I did wrong? I need to take my re-test by I am scared of failing again since I thought I did good the first time and failed. Can I get some advice?
