About this exam
The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Registered Radiologist Assistant (R.R.A.) Examination is a certification exam for qualified radiologic technologists pursuing the advanced R.R.A. credential. It assesses knowledge relevant to working with radiologists in an expanded clinical role; it is not an entry-level radiography exam. Candidates generally need to complete the required education and clinical preparation and meet ARRT’s current credential, degree, ethics, and other eligibility requirements. Check ARRT’s latest R.R.A. certification materials for the rules that apply to your application.
R.R.A. exam preparation should follow ARRT’s current content specifications, with attention to radiologic anatomy and cross-sectional image recognition, pathophysiology and disease patterns, patient history and clinical assessment, and physical examination findings. Candidates need to connect these topics to clinical decision-making, not simply memorize definitions. Start by identifying weaker areas, then review authoritative course materials and use practice questions to check whether you can apply concepts. The exam blueprint and candidate guidance are the best sources for confirming the current scope and structure.
How to prepare for the ARRT R.R.A. Examination
- Use the current ARRT R.R.A. content specifications to organize a study plan, and give focused review time to anatomy and image recognition, disease patterns, patient assessment, and clinical findings.
- Practice applying information to patient-care scenarios. After each question set, review why the correct answer fits and why the alternatives do not; keep a list of recurring gaps to revisit.
- Build timed study sessions as the exam approaches, while using ARRT’s current candidate handbook and official eligibility guidance to confirm exam policies, application requirements, and any updates.
