Great study aid

Tests inside book are great! The first few pages of book has formulas and equations that you may have forgotten ( I did! ). Book also gives detailed answers in the back as to why the question has that answer. Cd which comes with is also great. Lots more questions!

A lot of help

I used Radiography PREP by Saia for review which was very helpful. Then I bought this book to take several practice tests. (I liked this book because in the back it had the answers along with a thorough explination.) The combo worked great because I passed with flying colors!

The Experience of a returning RT

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.

USE THIS BOOK TO STUDY & PASS

I checked out and bought some of the other review books (Mosby's being one), and I have to say this book turned out to be the best. I didn't really think it would be that good of a book when I started looking at it, but it is. I took the first test in the book and got a 66%, then I studied everything I missed and tried to figure out what I didn't understand. On the second test I got a 71% and continued to study. By the time I took the last one I got a 80%. Within a week I took the ARRT test and scored a 94%! the only questions I didn't expect on the exam had to do with artifacts and processor artifacts, which this book doesn't really cover. Also I recommend highlighting sections in the test review that you have a hard time with, I used a second highlight color for all radiation information. Good luck. By the way I passed the registry in Aug 2005.
