ARRT Radiography exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The ARRT Radiography content specifications (board approved January 2021, implemented January 1, 2022) divide the 200 scored questions into Patient Care 33, Safety 50, Image Production 51 and Procedures 66; each exam also carries 30 unscored pilot questions. ARRT reports a scaled score from 1 to 99 and a scaled score of 75 is required to pass; the number of correct answers behind 75 varies by exam version and is not a percentage. The primary handbook lists 230 minutes of testing time; the portal mock uses the 200 scored questions in 200 minutes. ARRT requires a scaled score of 75 on a 1 to 99 scale, and the number of correct answers behind that score varies by exam version, so the percent score in the portal mock is only a rough self-check. ARRT sets the examination fee and reports of the current amount differ between sites, so no amount is quoted here; confirm the current fee on arrt.org before you apply. The content outline spreads questions across 8 areas; the largest are Patient Interactions and Management (16.5%); Radiation Protection (14.5%); Extremity Procedures (14.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. ARRT requires an education, ethics and examination pathway; confirm the current requirements and documents on arrt.org.
