Radiography Practice Test

The ARRT® Examination for Limited Scope of Practice in Radiography is an exam designed for use by state agencies to aid in the process of state licensure in radiologic technology. Most states in the United States require licensure to practice radiologic technology, and candidates’ scores on the ARRT Limited Scope of Practice in Radiography exam are often used when states make licensing decisions.

Who is eligible to take the Limited Scope exam?

Individuals who sit for the Limited Scope of Practice in Radiography exam are those who have completed the necessary education to pursue radiography certification or licensure in their respective states. Important to note is that ARRT does not register or certify individuals who take the Limited Scope of Practice in Radiography exam; however, ARRT does administer the test as part of state licensing processes.  Make sure to check the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists state information website to ensure you meet all licensure requirements for the state in which you intend to earn radiologic technology licensure.

How do I register to take the Limited Scope exam?

You will register for the exam via your state licensing agency in conjunction with the Pearson VUE website, as Pearson VUE administers the test at a variety of testing locations nationwide. ARRT will give you a 90-day exam window after registration, and you must schedule your exam within this window. If you do not schedule your exam, fail to attend the exam on your chosen exam date, or fail to cancel the exam within the 90-day window, you will forfeit your exam registration fee.

What are the costs associated with the Limited Scope exam?

The fees associated with the exam are dependent on your state’s licensing agency. Check your state’s licensing agency website for more details. Some states require payment directly to ARRT, which means the fees are entirely nonrefundable. So, make sure to check with your state’s website early in your registration process.  

What does the Limited Scope exam cover?

The exam is delivered in content-specific modules. Depending on your state’s requirements, you may take every module, or you may take only specific modules. The exam is computer-based and will only provide you with the modules necessary for your state agency’s requirements. The Core module of the exam covers general radiologic material, which means all test-takers will complete this module.

The time you are allotted to complete the exam is dependent on the number of modules and number of questions you are required to complete. The Core module contains 115 questions, which means you will have 115 minutes to complete it. Every module will follow this timing allotment model. You will also be given 18 minutes to complete the pre-test tutorial, along with 2 minutes to complete the non-disclosure agreement and 10 minutes to complete a post-test survey.

The exam is comprised of multiple-choice questions that are randomly ordered. There are also a number of unscored pilot questions embedded in the exam. Because you will not be able to tell the difference between scored and unscored questions, and your exam score is based on the total number of correct answers, it is in your benefit to answer each question to the best of your ability.

Depending on your state, you may end up completing a total of 6 modules, including the Core module. The modules, number of scored questions, general content, and testing time per module are as follows:
