They are referred to as the Core and Line of Service (LOS). Both tests are multi-choice/best answer exams. The Core are more generic in nature and applies to persons seeking a nursing home administrator license, a resident care/assisted living license (RCAL), or one for a home and community-based services (HCBS) setting. It is 100 questions. The Line of Service is a 60-question test specific to the type of license one is seeking. Federal statue mandates that a nursing home administrator candidate take and pass the Core and the nursing home LOS.
