ARDMS VT Exam exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The Inteleos page for the VT exam describes about 170 questions over three hours (multiple choice, hotspot and a five-minute survey). The ARDMS VT content outline (version 24.1) has seven areas: Normal Anatomy, Perfusion, and Function (21%); Pathology, Perfusion, and Function (32%); Surgically Altered Anatomy and Pathology (6%); Physiologic Exams (12%); Ultrasound-guided Procedures/Intraoperative Assessment (7%); Quality Assurance, Safety, and Physical Principles (14%); and Preparation, Documentation, and Communication (8%). ARDMS reports a scaled score from 300 to 700 and the passing score is 555; a scaled score is not a percentage of correct answers. The VT exam costs US$300 on the Inteleos exam page, and the SPI exam must be passed within five years of the VT exam, in either order. ARDMS reports a scaled score from 300 to 700 and the passing score is 555. A scaled score is not a percentage of correct answers, so the percent score in the portal mock is only a self-check. The Inteleos page lists the VT exam at US$300. Fees can change, so confirm the current amount on the Inteleos site before you apply. The content outline spreads questions across 7 areas; the largest are Pathology, Perfusion, and Function (32.0%); Normal Anatomy, Perfusion, and Function (21.0%); Quality Assurance, Safety, and Physical Principles (14.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. ARDMS sets the prerequisites for the VT exam and expects the Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPI) exam within five years of the VT exam; confirm them on the Inteleos site before you apply. The portal is a practice aid built on the published content outline: it is not a copy of the exam, it does not simulate hotspot questions, and it does not predict your score.
