Graduation is quickly approaching and some of you may be preparing for your registry! I hope that this video helps prepare you for this major milestone in your future career. Good luck to all of you!
I studied the Mosby book for months and it was way to simple, I was like damm Ingot this, I went in and the test was so hard, the questions where not like mosby it was way more challenging, I failed, I was in shock 😢
Did you take it again? I would like to know what helped with passing it. I'm an RT wanting to get back into the field researching tutorials and notes from previous test takers to help me study.
Get Rad Review do all the Questions read the rationals for every question and learn it not just the answer to the questions but the whys and how’s to them. Take the mock and review weak areas
Retaking the exam for the second time in 9 days, failed with a 74 on my first attempt. Used my score report to practice where I struggle but not sure if the Kettering book and rad tech bootcamp is enough. 😅 I’m stressed
I just passed my exam yesterday. I used correct tec for 2 hours a day for two months before my exam. I repeated every exercise until I passed it with at least a 90%. If I didn’t understand a question I would look it up. I would recommend Clover(Rad Tech Bootcamp). I thought the questions on the registry were similarly worded to the questions on there. I think I would’ve score better if I used clover more. Two people in my class failed but one just retook it and passed. 😊 she used correct tec and clover to study for her second attempt.
Many techs that go into radiation therapy start out by going through the X-ray program because instead of 4 years of schooling they can do 2 years for X-ray then an additional one year for therapy. If they choose not to I am unsure of their requirements but I assume they have a state licensure exam to complete that is equivalent.
What is your AFSC (or equivalent) in the military? To my knowledge there is not an online option to attend class in order to fulfill requirements to take the ARRT. There are many specific exam requirements you have to meet during clinical hours to qualify you to take the registry. If you’re looking to work towards this career as an enlisted military personnel then I would recommend knocking out some prerequisites and saving your GI bill to live off of while in school when your enlistment is over.
Memorize the protocols for your hospital as quickly as you can once you start clinical. Ask questions and if you don’t get a solid answer write it down so that you can look it up yourself. You’re taught the basics in school but showing that you’re comfortable interacting with patients is at times equally as valuable when hospitals are looking to hire their students.
I liked using Mosby’s the most because it instilled a lot of confidence which helped my mindset. However, I think it is good to be challenged outside of your comfort zone when it’s just practice so having a variety of study materials would be a good idea.
It is extremely important in the field of radiology to be very familiar with anatomy. The ARRT can only be completed in a Pearson Vue testing center. It cannot be completed at home.

I’m sorry for the lack of response, I do not offer private tutoring at the moment. In reference to your other comment; I am not registered in MRI so I’m absolutely no help in that department. I suggest using rad tech bootcamp to help guide you through your studies. Good luck!
There are plenty of opportunities to work in hospitals. They also typically pay more in a hospital than an outpatient center because of the added responsibilities of surgery and fluoroscopy!
I'm studying a career in Cuba called Imagenology and Medical Radiophysics, it's a bachellor. Can I apply with my title to the exam or do I need something else?

Hello Dear Can you tell me How indian radiology technologist apply for the job in your hospital or centre & What's the eligibility to get job in radiology field
I typically send international inquiries to the ARRT website for more information about coming from overseas to work as a radiographer: www.arrt.org/pages/contact/frequent-questions/international. Once you are registered with the ARRT and get a license through the department of health in your state then you can go online to the hospital’s website to search and apply for a job.

Hye mam , i done my graduation degree from india in radiology as a radiology technologist. I want to ask is this degree is acceptable in Usa to get a job .
You will need to become registered in America through the ARRT in most states to obtain a job. However, there are some states that have different requirements and may accept your degree without becoming registered.
I'm sorry to hear that. On the information that they sent back to you they should list out how well you did in each category. Practice tests are great but they don't help much with understanding and applying overall concepts. Did your second try result in a higher score than your first after going through the radiology boot camp?
Focus on understanding the concept. Take the topic that you are struggling with and try to compare it to something in your everyday life so that it is easier for you to remember when it is test time. I posted a video on AEC last week that gives two examples on how I take radiology concepts and reimagine them (AEC and attenuation). If you are struggling with doing this on your own then an instructor should be able to explain a topic in a way that you can fully comprehend. They are there to help but they wont know you're struggling unless you ask. Do you have an example of what you find challenging? @@joshwellman5586
I am graduating in radiology technician and I am currently doing a postgraduate degree in nuclear medicine and radiotherapy exams, can I do the ARRT? Is there any difference from the technician to the technologist or are they the same thing?
Did your program in radiologic technology include a clinical portion where you obtained competencies for exams? If so, I believe you can sit for your ARRT registry but I would double check with your program directly. The term technologist implies specialized training to perform more complex tasks so since we obtain a college degree to perform X-ray examinations we are X-ray technologists, not technicians.
@@SydneyPipp My program involves a clinical part, where I perform x-ray exams and nuclear medicine exams, but I would apply to work in the United States, because I'm an international student and I'm graduating in Brazil, so I'm running after validating my diploma.

In the states you have to take college courses to obtain your associates degree before you’re eligible to sit for the registry to become a radiographer.

Sorry, I just saw your comment. I hope you passed your registry! The following is copied from the ARRT website: “Our exam scoring scale ranges from 1 to 99, and you’ll need a total score of 75 to pass the exam. This isn’t a percentage; the number of correct answers necessary to obtain a scaled score of 75 may vary. For example, on some exam versions, you might need to correctly answer 131 of 200 questions to receive a scaled score of 75. On more “difficult” exam versions, you might need only to answer 130 of 200 questions correctly to receive a 75 scaled score.”
There are 66 questions within the procedures section of the registry. These questions can include positioning, anatomy, procedure adaptation and the evaluation of anatomical structures.
Hi, was there alot of physics in the exam? Im really bad at math but i plan on studying like crazy and relearn algrebra and inverse of law because i completely forgot how to do it. (my program starts in january) which part if exam was the physics in? and what type of problems/scenarios. thanks ❤
There are 21 questions regarding radiation physics and radiobiology. The exams questions are random so the likelihood of having all of the physics questions consecutively is low. I can’t comment on the specific questions that are asked but your program should be able to help guide you in the right direction on what equations and content you need to know.
Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that! Did they send you a breakdown of your scores per section by mail after each test? Will your school allow you to audit courses (go through the class without receiving a grade) before taking it again?
I passed it:) thanks for your help. 230 Q now and 250 minutes time

Is ARRT registery only for Radiographer tech?
What about Radiotherpists or Radiation Therapist?
Many techs that go into radiation therapy start out by going through the X-ray program because instead of 4 years of schooling they can do 2 years for X-ray then an additional one year for therapy. If they choose not to I am unsure of their requirements but I assume they have a state licensure exam to complete that is equivalent.

@@jayms1084 congratulations! Welcome to the family!
im only one month in my program and im already thinking way ahead....what happens if you fail the ARRT three times?
Hi Kevin, you would have to redo the whole program again
Just as Kyle said, if you fail all three attempts you would have to repeat the entire program to “unlock” an additional three attempts.
Your videos are so helpful🫶🏼
Currently in the military, by any chance, is there an accredited online program in preparation for the ARRT?
What is your AFSC (or equivalent) in the military? To my knowledge there is not an online option to attend class in order to fulfill requirements to take the ARRT. There are many specific exam requirements you have to meet during clinical hours to qualify you to take the registry. If you’re looking to work towards this career as an enlisted military personnel then I would recommend knocking out some prerequisites and saving your GI bill to live off of while in school when your enlistment is over.
RADreview, make an account on a government computer. It should let you do it for free. you can do practice tests there, etc
Will you allow me to explain the process of registration for the exam?
I’m looking to enter the program in a couple months. Any tips you suggest to help me get a head start in this new career?
Memorize the protocols for your hospital as quickly as you can once you start clinical. Ask questions and if you don’t get a solid answer write it down so that you can look it up yourself.
