THE ARRT EXAM

The final step on your way to becoming certified and registered with ARRT is to take an examination in your discipline. Our exams measure your knowledge of the daily tasks that an entry-level technologist performs. 

Our exams are challenging, yet fair. They’re created with help from industry experts around the country, including Registered Technologists (R.T.s) in your desired discipline. 

Although we don’t endorse any specific exam study materials, many program directors, students, and R.T.s use our Content Specifications (often referred to as content outlines) as a guide to help prepare for exam day.
