ARRT Radiography Certification and Registration Examination

The ARRT Radiography Certification and Registration Examination is a national credentialing exam for people who have completed an eligible radiography education program and are seeking ARRT certification and registration. It assesses whether candidates have the knowledge and judgment needed for entry-level radiologic technology practice; it is not an admissions test for radiography school. Eligibility generally involves meeting ARRT education and ethics requirements and completing the application process. Requirements and procedures can change, so candidates should check the current ARRT handbook and eligibility guidance.

Radiography registry review should cover the exam’s main knowledge areas: patient care, safety, image production, and radiographic procedures. Patient assessment and communication, infection prevention, contrast media and medication safety, and radiation protection principles are important parts of that broader review. The exam is computer-based and uses selected-response questions; consult the current ARRT content specifications for the official outline and format details. A steady study plan that combines topic review, retrieval practice, and careful analysis of explanations is usually more useful than last-minute memorization.
