The Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) exam, offered by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA), is the national certification test for surgical technologists who support surgeons and the surgical team in the operating room. The exam is built around the NBSTSA Examination Content Outline, which groups questions into three main domains: Perioperative Care, Ancillary Duties, and Basic Science, with a strong emphasis on sterile technique, patient safety, and instrument and procedure knowledge. From a candidate point of view, core topics include preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative procedures, surgical asepsis, equipment and sterilization, basic anatomy and physiology, pharmacology in the OR, and the technologistβs role in counts, specimen handling, and safe patient positioning. You should be comfortable with terms such as surgical count, timeβout, Universal Protocol, hemostatic agents, sutures and needles, and common surgical procedures across major body systems.
| Number | Section | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Perioperative Care (Preoperative, Intraoperative, Postoperative) | 60.7% |
| 02 | Ancillary Duties | 17.3% |
| 03 | Basic Science | 22% |
Preparing for the NBSTSA-CST exam requires not only understanding the exam topics but also practicing with realistic exam-style questions. Our Certified Surgical Technologist exam questions and practice tests help candidates review key concepts and familiarize themselves with the format and difficulty of exams.
At Killexams.com, our team works to maintain up-to-date practice content for real exam prep. We continuously review and refine our question sets and explanations to cover the latest relevant syllabus areas and help learners strengthen their understanding of core topics before the official exam. Practice tests allow you to identify areas where you need improvement by measuring your readiness and provide you exam questions to polish those areas.
By using our NBSTSA-CST Exam PDF and Test Engine for real exam prep, you can practice with a structured set of questions and answers that are representative of the kinds of items you encounter on the exam. Wherever possible, content includes detailed explanations to clarify reasoning and support deeper learning. The CST exam is a 4βhour, computerβbased test with 175 multipleβchoice questions, of which 150 are scored and 25 are unscored pretest items mixed throughout the exam. The NBSTSA sets a numeric passing standard, and current practiceβtest and review sources indicate that candidates generally need to answer at least about 102 out of the 150 scored items correctly, which is roughly 68 percent, to pass, though the official website does not publish a simple percentage score you can track in real time. To do well, candidates should start with the official NBSTSA Examination Content Outline, then focus on highβyield areas such as common procedures and instruments, sterilization and maintenance, and perioperative safety, and practice with timed, fullβlength exams that mirror the 175βquestion, 4βhour format so you can build both speed and confidence on test day.
