Becoming a Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA) is a rewarding career choice—and passing the CHHA exam is a big step toward helping people live healthier, more independent lives at home. If you’re getting ready for the test, here’s how to feel confident, prepared, and ready to succeed!
📚 1. Know What’s On the CHHA Exam
The CHHA exam covers both theory and hands-on skills you’ve learned in training. Topics usually include:
- Infection control & personal hygiene
- Safe transfer techniques
- Vital signs
- Nutrition and meal preparation
- Patient rights & communication
- Emergency response
- Basic anatomy and aging process
Pro tip: Your training program (like ours at Health Up!) is based on these exact topics—review your class materials!
🗂️ 2. Use a CHHA Study Guide or Workbook
Having a structured study guide helps you focus on what matters. Look for one with:
- Chapter summaries
- Practice questions
- Step-by-step procedures
- Visuals or diagrams for skills
Many programs provide review books—ask your instructor if you need one!
👥 3. Practice Your Skills—Don’t Just Read
The CHHA exam isn’t just about theory—you’ll need to demonstrate your hands-on skills too. Practice:
- Making an occupied bed
- Assisting with ambulation using a gait belt
- Taking temperature, pulse, and respirations
- Handwashing (yes, there’s a correct way!)
Practicing with a classmate or even at home with family can make a huge difference.
🧠 4. Take Practice Tests
Just like any exam, practice makes progress. Timed quizzes and sample test questions will help you:
- Get used to the wording of questions
- Learn to spot “trick” answers
- Manage your time better during the real exam
💤 5. Prep Your Mind & Body the Night Before
The night before your exam:
- Get at least 7–8 hours of sleep
- Prepare your materials (ID, uniform, snacks, etc.)
- Avoid last-minute cramming—it adds stress
- Eat a light, healthy breakfast the next day
A calm and focused mind helps you recall information faster and perform better during your skills test.
💡 6. Stay Positive—You’ve Got This!
Confidence is key! You’ve already completed your training, done the practice, and now it’s time to show what you know. Breathe, take your time, and believe in yourself.
