NRRPT
amyrobin:
Does anyone know what is considered passing?
A coworker and I will be taking the NRRPT this weekend. He is convinced that they will grade on a curve like the Fundamental of Engineering exam. I assume it will be a straight percentage. Any Information would be helpful
Thanks

Amyrobin,
You can ask this question of the proctor prior to the exam, in fact the following excerpt from the FAQs comes directly from the proctor's instructions:
The examination is not graded on a curve.
The passing point changes with each examination dependent on which 150 questions are selected.
There is only one passing point; candidates do not have to pass different sections or areas of examination.
Hope this helps. Good Luck

The exam is not graded on a curve. It is however graded individually with the candidates background taken into account and different weight given to the subject areas accordingly. A power plant SrHP would be expected to have a much stronger knowledge of reactor hp areas than a medical radiation protection specialist and vice cersa.

Thanks for the information. That makes me a little less worried about some of the medical radiation questions.

My test had a few P32 questions, 70% math, some FEMA questions, the BEIR reports, etc. If you read and retain the recomended reading list, you should be ok.
