About this exam
The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Radiation Therapy Certification Examination assesses whether eligible candidates have the knowledge and judgment expected of an entry-level radiation therapist. It is taken by candidates pursuing ARRT certification after completing the required education and meeting applicable eligibility requirements. The credential supports professional recognition and employment in radiation therapy, but the examination itself is not a program-admission test. Because eligibility and application details can change, candidates should confirm current requirements in ARRT’s official materials.
The exam covers the knowledge needed to provide safe, effective radiation therapy, including patient assessment and care, anatomy and pathology, oncology and tumor biology, and radiation therapy physics and treatment equipment. Questions may require applying concepts to clinical situations, not simply recalling definitions. For a focused study plan, use the current ARRT content specifications to identify your strongest and weakest areas, then review foundational material and practice applying it under timed conditions. Check the latest candidate handbook for current exam format and policies.
How to prepare for the ARRT Radiation Therapy exam
- Start with ARRT’s current Radiation Therapy content specifications and candidate handbook. Use the blueprint to organize your review and verify the latest exam policies.
- Review patient assessment and care, anatomy and pathology, oncology and tumor biology, and physics and treatment equipment. Connect each topic to treatment decisions, patient safety, and clinical scenarios.
- Use timed, mixed-topic multiple-choice practice to build pacing and identify gaps. Read explanations carefully, keep a list of concepts you miss, and revisit the underlying material rather than memorizing answers.
