Statewide pass rate, 202589.1%
First-time test takers, 20255,596

How to read these numbers. Each rate is the share of a program's first-time test takers who passed both parts of the Florida CNA exam in that year. Programs with only a few testers can swing from year to year, so check the number who tested and look at more than one year.
