CCTN Self Assessment Examination (SAE) now available.

The CCTN Self Assessment Examination (SAE) is a 75 question online practice examination that was developed to be parallel in content and difficulty to the actual transplant nurse certification examination. The SAE should be regarded as an assessment tool to measure strengths and weaknesses, rather than a study guide for the examination. A passing score on the SAE will not in any way guarantee a passing score on the certification examination.

The cost of the SAE is $35. Once purchased, the SAE will be active for a period of 60 days in which you may exit and return to the examination as many times as needed. The purchaser will receive a score report via the e-mail address provided.
