I originally sat for the ARRT exam in 1973 and ventured into x-ray sales in 1978 and then away from radiology altogether in 1990. Since I didn't do the CEU's, I gave up my registry. I recently learned that the window of opportunity to get back in was rapidly closing and I needed to apply to retake the exam by 4/1/06. I took the exam on 3/20/06 and just learned that I passed with a 91...the same score I received in 1973! I no longer had any of my text books and so, I researched and bought two resources: F.A. Davis' Practice Guide for the Radiography Examination and Mosby's Comprehensive Review. I liked Mosby's for all the study information it contained. It was laid out in a very straightforward, organized format that was easy to study. I also liked the format on the disk for both studying and the exam. Some of the questions seemed pretty elementary. In fact, after consistently scoring in the 90's on the Mosby tests, I took an F.A. Davis test and scored a 71! Davis was primarily a test resource. There were formulas in the front that were useful, but the real value was in the testing. All told, I seriously studied about 3 weeks before taking the registry. Obviously, this combination worked well for me. I have the same complaint about each: there were several questions from each disk where they marked a question wrong but the rationale they supplied said my answer was right. It made me question the validity of other questions. They need to go back and review all their questions again and revalidate them.
I recently moved to the US and had to take my Registry exam (I haven't worked as an X-Ray tech since 1996 and my DCR exam was back in 1984!). I used this book along with Lang's Q&A to prepare. As most of the subject matter is different to the stuff I learnt (especially radiation protection and digital imaging) and uses other parameters/centering points/terminology.I found these two books the ONLY thing I needed: as the title says, I just got 97 on the registry exam!
the book is really good.it provided summaries and very good questions.I had to return it because this kindle version didn't come with a code to sign for the online questions which was the reason I bought the book for.I would rather pay a little more for the paper version and get a code to access the online bank of questions.
This book hands down is all you need to study for the registry. I got that stupid yellow book and it was such a waste of money. If you need something that will literally take you step by step through tough stuff like physics then this is the book for you. It also has pictures and bullet points of review for each chapter. I wish I had used this all through my last semester instead of that dumb yellow book because in the 2-3 weeks I had this before the registry it literally changed my life. GET THIS BOOK!
What I found helpful was the chapters on image production and evaluation. It was a pleasure to review from because it was written quite clearly and to the point. The chapter on Anatomy, Positioning, Procedures was also fantastic and a plus to review from. This book also had a lot of high quality radiographs to help explain important concepts.I also utilized by Frederic Martini as a good backup reference.I also found the following very helpful for arrt preparation and they are by Patrick Leonardi by Patrick Leonardi by Patrick LeonardiThese three volumes have the kind of questions asked on the arrt exam. These five books were very crucial for helping me pass the arrt exam.
I recently received my ARRT certification. I got a 96/99 on my boards. (I believe that 99 is used instead of 100 since this test is scored in terms of percentile - comparing my test results to that of past test-takers - instead of in terms of percentage.)This review guide is limited in a few areas such as positioning (so study your Merrill's, too), but it really contains most of what you'll need to get you through the certification test.It seems much better than the one that my rad program used (Radiography Prep, by Saia), which isn't concise, contained quite a few errors, and often repeated information.A review textbook can't contain everything you've learned in two years of classes, but it is fairly concise and provides the information that you'll need to know to get through your boards. Be sure to look over the practice tests, answers, and explanations.
I bought this book to help study for the ARRT board exam in general radiography to become a radiologic technologist. I found the book easy to follow and felt that most of the questions, pictures, and diagrams where very, very similar to what was actually on my exam. Very good study guide! I will be purchasing the CT version shortly to help me prepare for that board exam.
I really enjoy this book and feel that it is the right choice for preparing me for the State exam. Shipped fast and in perfect condition. Excellent seller !
