What To Expect On Your Virtual AINS™ Exams
Big changes are coming to the AINS™ Exams! Starting in 2022, all your exams will be virtual AINS™ exams. Going forward, there will no longer be an option to take your exam at a Prometric testing center.
What is a virtual AINS™ exam?
No longer will you be taking your exams in person at a Prometric testing center. Instead, you will take your exam directly from your computer.
The exams will be non-proctored, meaning the exams are unsupervised so we will be relying on the “honor system” to combat cheating.
All you need to take your exam is an internet-connected device using the Chrome or Firefox browser system, and a reliable internet connection.
When can I take a virtual AINS™ exam?
You can take your virtual AINS™ exam any time during an open testing window. Testing windows are open on the following dates:
- Quarter One: January 15th to March 15th
- Quarter Two: April 15th to June 15th
- Quarter Three: July 15th to September 15th
- Quarter Four: October 15th to December 15th
How long are the virtual AINS™ exams?
The virtual AINS™ exams will be 65-minutes long.
How many questions are the virtual AINS™ exams?
There are 50 multiple-choice questions.
Meaning, to answer every question before the time runs out, you should plan on spending about 1 minute and 18 seconds to answer each question (50 questions in 65 minutes).
What type of questions are on the virtual AINS™ exams?
All questions on the virtual exam will be application-based scenario questions. These are tricky questions that require you to apply your knowledge to a real-life scenario to choose the appropriate answer (you will not be repeating a definition or concept). That means, there is really no way to cheat on your exam, so don’t even try.
You can download one of our free practice exams to see what these questions look like.
What is the passing grade for the virtual AINS™ exams?
To pass the exam, you must score a 70% or better. That means, out of 50 questions on your exam, you must answer 35 of the questions correctly (you can get 15 wrong and still pass).
What is the average pass rate of the virtual AINS™ exams?
The average pass rate is between 72% to 74% for these virtual AINS™ exams (according to published industry reports).
