Free Nursing Home Administrator Practice Exam for NAB

When I was studying for the NAB exam (not too long ago), I tried to find a free exam that could test my knowledge. Despite my efforts, I didn’t find one and for this reason, I designed this simple 20 question exam.

This test is only a snapshot of what the Nursing Home Administrator (NAB) exam will cover. It should ONLY be considered supplemental to the many resources available–books written by individuals that know the NAB exam far better than I do. (Check out my other recent post on recommended books for NAB exam). These questions may not even be similar to the ones you receive, but it is my hope that it assists you with learning this vast amount of material.
