Official NBSTSA CST Exam Prep

NBSTSA's Certified Surgical Technologist app is a powerful examination simulator that allows you to create customized practice tests with detailed answer explanations for every question. View your results and examination history with just a few taps. Study anywhere, anytime without Internet.

The app utilizes the “spacing effect” to enhance your learning capability. You’ll space out your studying into shorter, more productive study sessions, which allow your brain to retain more information. Simply tell the app how many questions you want to take, enable the timer, and filter examination content to create the perfect study experience.

The questions in this examination prep app were created by the NBSTSA and incorporate the same stringent and secure practices used to create the CST examination.
