NRRPT

There is nothing wrong with taking both exams. By all means, take the CHP (both parts) when you are ready. I do believe that you will do well, most SMAGS do. The NRRPT has grown over the past few years and presents a challenge to many.
If you are seeking continued education, having both the CHP and NRRPT might help you down the road.
Either way, thanks for your service and good luck

The way I remember the test was all answers needed to be converted from what you are used to. mirocuries/cc could be in millicuries/cc or volume of air was stated in cubic meter instead of liters or cubic foot. Be prepared to change units and keep them straight. All possible wrong answers could be there if you divided instead of multiplying it was there etc.Be careful with your math and especially keeping your answers and test paper on the same line. It's easy to mix up the question and writing down on the correct #. I was told to do a memory dump and only answer questions that I was sure of and could answer in less than one minute,pass up all math and long questions. Then go back and read the long questions,then do the math,finally there will be several questions you are not prepared to answer,GUESS but do not leave them blank.You will have a 20% chance of getting them right.Good Luck

Gollnick's book was written specifically for what the NRRPT believed a Rad Tech should know. I think if you can read through
the book and follow along with the information contained you should be able to pass. The book has about doubled in size
over the years, so it may be a bit much to expect someone to read through the hole thing. It was pretty much all I studied before I took the exam, and I managed to get by.
As far as what is a passing score, I believe I heard from someone who was in a position to know that the passing score is somewhere in the 69% to 71% range. This was a long time ago ('91 or '92) so the number may have changed. I have
no idea what determines the exact pass/fail number for any given exam....Good Luck!

Excellent choice as a reference.... but there are many ways to study for the NRRPT. I actually had my wife quiz me as we drove to the testing site. She managed to pick up a few things on the way.
Good luck to ya

There is no set passing percentage on the NRRPT Exam. The percentage of questions one needs to answer correctly is dependent upon the difficulty of each of the questions in the sample set. The percentage is different for each exam.
