1According to the SRFAC Standard First Aid syllabus, which three aims define first aid?
A.Preserve life, promote recovery, and prevent further injuries
B.Diagnose illness, prescribe medicine, and evacuate the casualty
C.Replace hospital care, perform surgery, and certify death
D.Take photographs, complete insurance forms, and notify employers
Explanation: SRFAC defines first aid as emergency care before a doctor, nurse, or paramedic arrives, with the aims to preserve/save life, promote recovery, and prevent further injuries. These three aims appear in Chapter 1 of the Standard First Aid syllabus.
2Under SRFAC Standard First Aid guidance, what is the main limitation of a first aider's role?
A.May suture wounds and insert intravenous lines if confident
B.Perform only non-invasive treatment and do not give medication unless instructed by a qualified doctor (or covered by workplace SOP for appointed first aiders)
C.May declare a casualty dead after five minutes without a pulse
D.Must always move the casualty to the nearest clinic before calling for help
Explanation: SRFAC states a first aider shall only perform non-invasive treatment and should not provide medication unless under a qualified doctor's instructions. Appointed workplace first aiders may follow organisation SOPs for prescribed medication for a diagnosed condition. When in doubt, refer to a doctor.
3Which set of items best matches universal precautions taught in SRFAC Standard First Aid?
A.Only a triangular bandage and cold pack
B.Antibiotics and injectable painkillers from the kit
C.Surgical mask, CPR barrier/mask, gloves, and proper hand-washing
D.Bare hands if you wash them after the incident
Explanation: Chapter 1 emphasises universal precautions such as a surgical mask, CPR mask/barrier, gloves, and hand-washing technique to reduce infection risk to both first aider and casualty.
4When checking a first aid kit during maintenance, which practice does SRFAC emphasise?
A.Remove all items that look unused so the box stays light
B.Replace expired tablets into the kit after washing them
C.Store the kit unlocked in a public corridor without a checklist
D.Identify correct item use, check expiry dates, and record usage/replenishment
Explanation: SRFAC Chapter 1 requires identifying kit items for correct use, checking expiry dates, and recording usage and replenishment so the kit stays ready for emergencies.
5In the Singapore SRFAC DRSABC primary survey, what does the letter D stand for?
A.Danger — identify hazards before approaching
B.Diagnosis — decide the medical disease name
C.Defibrillation — attach AED pads first before anything else
D.Documentation — write a full report before touching the casualty
Explanation: DRSABC begins with Danger: emphasise hazard identification so the first aider, casualty, and bystanders are not harmed. Only then check Response, Shout for help/call 995, get AED, Breathing, and Continuous compressions.
6How should a first aider check for Response (R) in an adult under SRFAC DRSABC?
A.Perform a sternal rub with knuckles immediately
B.Tap the shoulders and speak loudly to see if the casualty responds
C.Splash water on the face and wait one minute
D.Shake the head vigorously side to side
Explanation: SRFAC's syllabus specifies checking response by tapping the shoulders. Avoid head/neck movement that could worsen a possible spinal injury, and do not use clinical pain stimuli like sternal rubs in basic first aid.
7In Singapore, which emergency number should you call for an ambulance during DRSABC?
A.911 as used in the United States
B.999 only, which replaces 995 for all medical emergencies
C.995 for Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF)
D.1777 for non-emergency taxi booking
Explanation: SRFAC's Standard First Aid primary survey directs callers to get help and call 995 for SCDF. Using a foreign emergency number wastes critical time in Singapore.
8In SRFAC DRSABC, when should you get an AED?
A.Only after 20 minutes of continuous compressions
B.Never for Standard First Aid providers — AEDs are for paramedics only
C.Only if the casualty is conscious and talking
D.After calling for help / activating EMS, get the AED if nearby (syllabus: if visibly nearby; guidelines: within about a 60-second walk — lone rescuers should not leave the casualty)
Explanation: In SRFAC DRSABC, after shouting for help and calling 995, get an AED if it is nearby. The 2020 SFA syllabus says 'if visibly nearby'; Singapore BCLS+AED guidelines refine this to sending someone for an AED within about a 60-second walking distance, while a lone rescuer should not leave the casualty. Early defibrillation is part of the Chain of Survival.
9Which scale does SRFAC Standard First Aid use for level of consciousness in the secondary survey?
A.AVPU (Alert, Voice, Pain, Unresponsive)
B.Full Glasgow Coma Scale scoring to 15
C.Only a blood-pressure reading
D.Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
Explanation: SRFAC specifies using only AVPU to assess level of consciousness in Standard First Aid secondary survey, along with basic history, head-to-toe examination, and vital-sign awareness—not full clinical scoring tools.
10What is the SCDF myResponder app introduced for in SRFAC Standard First Aid?
A.A replacement for calling 995 in every emergency
B.Awareness so community responders can be alerted to nearby cardiac-arrest emergencies
C.An online shop for buying first aid kits
D.A legal form that replaces workplace incident reporting
Explanation: Chapter 1 introduces SCDF's myResponder app for awareness and encourages download. It supports community response to nearby emergencies and does not replace calling 995.

About the SG WSQ Standard First Aid Exam

The Singapore Standard First Aid (SFA) Provider course teaches emergency care before professional help arrives, standardised by SRFAC across eight chapters: essentials (DRSABC, kit, precautions), unconscious non-arrest casualties, respiratory problems including FBAO, shock/bleeding/wounds, musculoskeletal injuries, burns, other first aid (eyes, nosebleed, poisoning, transport), and CPR (Hands-Only)+AED. Assessment requires an 80% theory pass and practical competency. Certificates are typically valid for 2 years with a 3-month renewal grace window.

Assessment

SRFAC-accredited Standard First Aid Provider assessment: theory MCQ with at least 20 Standard First Aid questions and at least 10 CPR (Hands-Only)+AED questions (often delivered as a ~30-question paper, sometimes split for audit), plus mandatory face-to-face practical covering CPR(HO)+AED, adult conscious and unconscious FBAO, bandaging (one bleeding and one fracture), tourniquet application, and administration of EpiPen and MDI with spacer. Successful candidates receive Standard First Aid and CPR(Hands-Only)+AED Provider certificates accredited by SRFAC.

Time Limit

About 30 minutes for the theory paper per the SRFAC syllabus outline; full course content is typically around 12 hours plus assessment time (provider blended schedules vary). Theory e-learning is allowed; hands-on practice and all assessments must be conducted in person with an instructor.

Passing Score

≥80% correct on the theory MCQ (SRFAC TC Guidelines). Practical skills must also be demonstrated competently (maximum of three attempts). Both theory and practical must be passed; failing either means no Provider certificate.

SG WSQ Standard First Aid Study Tips from Top Performers

1Memorise DRSABC in Singapore order: Danger, Response (tap shoulders), Shout for help and call 995, get AED if nearby, Breathing check, Continuous chest compressions — questions often scramble this sequence.
2Drill adult CPR numbers used in Singapore guidelines: compression rate 100–120 per minute and depth about 4–6 cm with full recoil; hands-only CPR is the SFA Chapter 8 standard for this course.
3Practise the practical checklist out loud: CPR(HO)+AED, conscious and unconscious FBAO, one bleeding and one fracture bandage, tourniquet with time recorded, plus EpiPen and MDI with spacer — theory and skills are both required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Singapore WSQ / SRFAC Standard First Aid assessment?

It is the national Standard First Aid Provider assessment aligned to Singapore Resuscitation and First Aid Council (SRFAC) syllabus and Training Centre Guidelines.

Many offerings are also SkillsFuture / WSQ-listed through accredited centres.

How many theory questions are on the SRFAC Standard First Aid test?

SRFAC requires a minimum of 20 Standard First Aid questions and 10 CPR (Hands-Only)+AED questions. Training centres commonly administer about 30 MCQs in total, sometimes as two papers for audit. This free practice bank has 100 questions for deeper revision.

What is the pass mark for Standard First Aid in Singapore?

SRFAC's Training Centre Guidelines state the theory test passing rate should be 80% correct answers. You must also pass the practical skills assessment (up to three attempts). Certificates are issued only if both theory and practical are passed.

Can I complete Standard First Aid entirely online?

No. SRFAC allows e-learning for the theory lesson component, but hands-on practice, practical assessment, and theory assessment must be conducted in the presence of an instructor for all SRFAC-accredited courses.

How long is the Standard First Aid certificate valid?

Provider certificates are typically valid for 2 years from course completion. Renewal is normally via a re-certification course within 3 months before or after expiry; if you lapse beyond that window, you generally need to restart as a new provider course.
