Yes. PrepAwayExam offers a free PDF demo of the CEN practice questions so you can check the quality, the format, and the difficulty level before you spend anything.

The CEN exam contains 175 (150 scored + 25 unscored pretest items) questions and gives you 180 minutes to complete them. That works out to a brisk pace, so you cannot afford to stall on a single tricky item — flag it, move on, and circle back if time allows. Before exam day, run at least two timed mock sessions with the PrepAwayExam desktop or online test engine; practicing against a real clock turns the official time limit into a comfortable rhythm instead of a source of panic.

The CEN exam (full name: Certified Emergency Nurse) is a Medical Tests certification exam that leads to the Certified Emergency Nurse (CEN) credential, positioned at the Professional level. It validates the skills Medical Tests expects from professionals working with its technologies, and passing it is the key step toward getting certified. It also sits within a broader certification path that includes CPEN (Certified Pediatric Emergency Nurse), TCRN (Trauma Certified Registered Nurse), CFRN (Certified Flight Registered Nurse).

The Medical Tests Certified Emergency Nurse exam is organized into 14 domains. The main areas include Professional Issues, Ethics, and Emergency Nursing Practice, Respiratory Emergencies, and Psychiatric and Behavioral Emergencies. Scroll up to the exam syllabus section on this page for the complete topic-by-topic outline.

Active Registered Nurse (RN) license recommended; typically 2 years of emergency nursing experience or ~2000 hours in emergency department practice within the last 3 years recommended.

Eligibility requirements can change, so before you register, confirm the latest criteria on the official Medical Tests exam page.

To pass the CEN exam you need a score of Scaled score 109 (on a 100–150 scale), and the official registration fee is USD $230–$370 (varies by membership/status and region). Keep in mind that a failed attempt comes at full price: retaking the exam means paying the entire fee again. A smart way to protect that investment is to self-test first — work through the 195 practice questions at PrepAwayExam until your timed scores sit comfortably above the passing line before you book a seat.
