The AACN CCRN (Adult) - Direct Care Eligibility Pathway exam (exam code CCRN-Adult) is the official AACN exam that leads to the CCRN (Adult) - Direct Care Eligibility Pathway certification, sitting at the Specialist / Advanced Practice level of the AACN certification track. It is also connected with CCRN (Pediatric), CCRN (Neonatal), CCRN-E (Tele-critical Care), CCRN-K (Knowledge Professional). If this is the credential you are working toward, the 1000 practice questions at Lead2PassExam map directly to its objectives.

The AACN CCRN (Adult) - Direct Care Eligibility Pathway exam includes 150 (125 scored, 25 unscored pretest items) questions, and you have 180 minutes to complete them. Divide the time limit by the question count and you get a tight average pace per item, so train yourself to flag time-consuming questions and return to them later instead of getting stuck. Before test day, run at least one full timed session in the Lead2PassExam test engine under the same limits — the clock should never surprise you.

The passing score for AACN CCRN (Adult) - Direct Care Eligibility Pathway is Scaled score; minimum 83 correct out of 125 scored items (~70%–75% correct), and the official registration fee is $255 (AACN members), $370 (non-members). A failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so your preparation budget deserves the same attention as your study plan. A practical rule: book your exam date only after you can finish a Lead2PassExam practice test comfortably above the passing score more than once.

According to AACN, candidates should meet the following before registering: Current, unencumbered RN or APRN license; meet one of: 1) 1,750 hours direct care acutely/critically ill adults in past 2 years (875 in last year); 2) 2,000 hours in past 5 years (144 in last year).
