In order to get many jobs, radiologic technologists must be certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT), which means they must pass their certification exam.

Kaplan Radiography Exam with CD-ROM provides individuals with a review of subjects covered by radiography students during their courses, as well as the information and review they need to pass this certification exam.

Features:

• Over 600 practice questions in each content area
• Full answer explanations for each question
• 2 full-length practice exams for certification in radiography
• CD-ROM with dynamic image radiograph library
• Tips for Tackling the Computer-Based Format
• Test-Taking Strategies

A person is certified by ARRT in radiography after completing educational preparation standards, complying with ethics standards, and passing a certification exam.

The exam is taken on computer and is timed. Candidates are presented with multiple-choice questions on a computer screen and asked to select an answer using either the keyboard or a mouse. The process allows candidates to review or change any answers to any questions prior to submitting the completed examination for scoring.

There were 12,000 test takers in 2004.

This review is from: Kaplan Radiography Exam with CD-ROM (Paperback)

I have bought several Radiography review books to help me through classes and prepare for the Registry test. This book has been the least helpful of the ones I bought. It appears to cover every subject one needs, only the questions seem really easy. There are also several questions I have found with incorrect answers. One that I remember particularly is on page 42. Question number 6 refers to a diagram of a lateral skull. The question reads "The organs of hearing are located within which numbered structure?" The frontal bone is labeled (1), Parietal bone is (2), Occipital (3), Temporal (4), Sphenoid (5). The answer in the back says it is (1) the frontal bone, which is clearly incorrect. There are a couple of others, but I can't remember them at this time. Also, the disc that comes with the book doesn't have a lot of information on it. I've already removed it from my computer. I recommend Mosby's or Appleton & Lang. Both are good review books with complete practice tests on disc.
