They have varying levels of accuracy depending on the test (read the box for additional information). For the most part they are very accurate. If you get a positive you are likely pregnant - there are very few false positives. If you get a negative and still don't get a period test again in a couple of days.

The tests are very accurate in picking up hCG (the pregnancy hormone). Each brand has a differant minimum level hormone it can detect.

At home pregnancy tests are pretty acurate especially if you are far along, and you didn't know. Sometimes it can be too early for at home tests to detect hCG, a hormorne only found in pregnanct women.
