Why Do I Need to Take an MRI Registry Review?

It is common knowledge that most jobs have specific requirements or prerequisites before one can be hired for that particular profession. An MRI technologist is no exception; becoming licensed involves passing a test. As such, an MRI registry review might be prudent before the exam.

If you have reached a stage where you are considering taking your MRI Registry examination, it’s quite likely that you’ve already acquired a good deal of knowledge. However, there may be a few things that you’ve overlooked, either because it’s not commonly known or you’re unaware of their importance in the exam itself. The following are just some of the reasons you should consider a thorough MRI registry review:

• Financially Sound: As it currently stands, the ARRT’s standard application fee for its MRI registry exam is 400 USD, which would be a steep price to pay more than once in the event of a failure.
• More Study Material: While it’s true that completing your course specializing in MRI technology already means you have a fair amount of information at your disposal, this is a case wherein it truly cannot hurt to have access to more study material.
• Learn the System: Learning how to become an MRI specialist is one thing, and learning the way a test is made and what type of answers it will be looking for is almost another thing entirely.

People often have their own style of reviewing for an exam. It really depends on which way best suits them. Thus, this process is not meant to replace a person’s pre-existing study method; instead, it’s meant to highlight the most important things any aspiring MRI technologist should consider.

• Pay Attention to the Coverage: A test cannot cover literally everything there is to know about being an MRI technologist, whether its creators want it to or not. Thankfully, the ARRT has published the content specifications for the exam, which detail the coverage of the exam. Checking this list thoroughly before beginning your review may save you a great deal of time.
• Practice with Mock Exams: Although relying entirely on mock exams may make the average person too complacent, using mock exams as quizzes after finishing a section that will be covered on the exam will not only allow you to determine if there are any gaps in your knowledge, but it will also give you a sense of progress and satisfaction throughout your review. The review process can be tedious for many people because they feel as if they’re merely re-reading and memorizing. Mock exams are a good solution to the tedium!

These are just some ways to go about your MRI registry review before your exam. Everyone’s method of studying is different, but keeping these in mind before you start can mean the difference between getting a high grade and barely passing with a borderline grade.
