About this exam
The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Sonography Certification Examination assesses whether candidates have the knowledge and skills expected of an entry-level sonography professional. It is intended for eligible applicants who have completed the education and other requirements for ARRT certification; it is not a general admissions test. Candidates should check the current ARRT handbook for eligibility details, since requirements and application procedures can change. The exam’s content outline is the best guide to what is tested and how the knowledge areas are organized.
Preparation should cover patient care, infection control and safety, sonography physics and instrumentation, image optimization and system controls, artifacts, and image interpretation. Candidates need both sound technical knowledge and the ability to apply it to clinical situations, so reviewing terms alone may not be enough. Use the current ARRT content specifications to identify areas that need attention, then revisit relevant course materials and practice applying concepts to questions. Free online multiple-choice practice can help you check understanding, but it should supplement—not replace—official exam guidance and focused review.
How to prepare for the ARRT Sonography exam
- Download the current ARRT Sonography examination content specifications and use them to make a checklist of every tested area, including patient care, physics, image optimization, artifacts, and interpretation.
- Review weak topics with course notes and authoritative references, especially the links between system controls, image quality, and common artifacts; explain why an answer is correct rather than memorizing it.
- Use timed sets of exam-style questions to build pacing and identify gaps, then verify eligibility, application steps, and current exam policies in the official ARRT handbook.
