About the CPT exam
The National Healthcareer Association gives the Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) exam. A new version started on January 7, 2026. It has 120 questions and you get 2 hours. 100 of the questions count toward your score, and the other 20 are unscored pretest questions.

The phlebotomy pass will include full practice tests that follow NHA’s 2026 CPT test plan, a question bank by topic, every answer explained, and insights that show which topics to review. The certified-technician review takes time, so the phlebotomy test will open after our TEAS practice.
