The Capital Prep team, ready to answer your question

Questions, answered

What's inside the study portal?

The full Fast Track Study System — every practice question, every flashcard deck, full-length mock exams, narrated audio, Miles the AI tutor, and the entire study guide, every chapter readable and highlightable. The cheat sheet — the highest-yield facts as a PDF — is in the study portal on every pass, with instant access to download it. Every pass opens all of it, backed by the SurePass Guarantee.

How does the SurePass Guarantee work?

Score 80%+ on one full-length mock, sit the real exam, and if you don't pass we refund what you paid. On Lifetime, clear two mocks with your readiness meter at "Getting close" or above and we also pay your full $134 retake fee. You file the claim in your study portal with your official NHA score report.

How many full-length mocks do I get?

Four scored full-length sittings, each a brand-new 120-question paper weighted to all five domains and timed to the real two hours. Practice questions and timed practice are unlimited and never use one. Every sitting draws from the whole 960-item bank — eight papers' worth, double the sitting allowance — so nothing repeats while you still have sittings left. NHA's own package is six practice tests.

Which pass should I buy?

Match it to your exam date. Most people want the 30-Day: you usually test soon after a training program ends, and a month is the shape of that run. Sitting within a week, the 7-Day is built for it. Lifetime if your date is not set yet, or if you want it still there in two years — the credential recertifies, and a lot of phlebotomists go on to add a second NHA certification.

Am I eligible to sit the CPT?

NHA requires a high-school diploma or GED — or you can apply provisionally if you will have one within 12 months — plus either completion of a phlebotomy training program or the work-experience pathway. Check NHA's current requirements before you apply, because they set them and they change them.

Does this get me licensed in my state?

No, and that is worth being plain about. The CPT is a national certification; a handful of states — California, Louisiana, Nevada and Washington — license phlebotomists themselves and set their own rules on top. NHA says so in its own handbook: its requirements are separate and distinct from any requirement to practice under state law. We prepare you for the CPT examination. Check your state board for anything it asks beyond that.

What does the exam itself cost?

$134, paid to NHA, and a retake is the full $134 again — NHA's handbook states that for each retake attempt you must re-register and pay the full examination price. You wait 30 days between attempts, you get three of them, and after a third failure you wait a year. That is why our Lifetime tier covers your full $134 retake fee if you qualify and don't pass.

What is on the exam?

120 questions in two hours, of which 100 are scored and 20 are unscored pretest items. Five domains, and two of them are more than half the paper: Routine Blood Collections at 28% and Safety and Compliance at 26%. Then Patient Preparation at 20%, Processing at 14% and Special Collections at 12%.

What score do I need to pass?

NHA reports a scaled score from 200 to 500 and 390 passes. The scale is weighted for how hard your particular form was, which is the point of it — and it also means it does not translate into a percentage of questions correct, so nobody can honestly tell you "390 is 78%". The 80% our mocks score against is our own bar, stated as ours, and it is the same score that qualifies you for the guarantee.

What about NHA's own study guide and practice tests?

NHA sells both from the same store page as your exam application: the online study guide at $59, six online practice tests at $54, or the two together for $89. They come from the organization that writes the test plan and scores the exam, and that is a real advantage no third party can claim. Two things to know before you choose. NHA's own product page says the online materials "can only be accessed on your computer or tablet" — not a phone, not offline. And neither carries a guarantee: the exam fee is non-refundable and a retake is full price.

What happens when my pass expires?

Your account stays; the paid features stop. Your notes, highlights and flashcard history are all still there if you come back, and Lifetime never expires.

Are the questions like the real exam?

Every item is written to NHA's own 2025 test plan, weighted domain by domain, with four options and a rationale on each. Every key was recomputed from its own stem before the explanation was read. We also run a construction audit on the bank before it ships — a check that a careful reader cannot pick the right answer from how the question is built rather than from knowing phlebotomy — and on this bank it came back clean, which is why we say so here and would say so if it had not.

My exam date moved. Does the plan adjust?

Yes. Change the date and the Game Plan rebuilds around the new one — it works backwards from your date, so a move forward compresses it and a move back spreads it out. Nothing is lost.

Can I use it on my phone, and does it work offline?

Yes to both. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app. Your due flashcards and a set of practice questions download automatically, so you can revise with no signal. The whole study guide downloads too, narrated audio included; scored mocks and the tutor still need a connection.

Do you offer refunds if I change my mind?

Yes, separately from the pass guarantee: 24 hours on the 7-Day Pass, 48 hours on the 30-Day Pass, or 72 hours on Lifetime, measured from your purchase (or from your upgrade, if you upgraded) — no questions asked, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet. EEA and UK buyers also keep their 14-day statutory right. The SurePass Guarantee is the other promise — that one is about your exam result, not about changing your mind.

Why are SurePass guarantees limited?

Because we honor them. Every guarantee is a real financial commitment we may genuinely pay out, so a limited number opens for this exam each day. The allocation resets at midnight in your own time zone, and the counter shows how many of today's are still open.
