How can Prep and Reporting work together?

Reporting acts as a diagnostic system for your learning progress.

• Prep exams are designed to diagnose your knowledge gaps, not just to be taken repeatedly.
• Think of Prep like a check engine light—it signals that something needs attention.
• Reporting goes deeper, showing specific areas of weakness, so you know exactly where to focus.

Tip: For navigation details, see the Reporting Application Overview.

What information does Reporting provide?

• Category Performance
  • Displays your performance by category, aligned with the ARRT registry exam.
  • Categories are listed from weakest to strongest.
• Detailed Breakdown
  • Click on a category graph to see subcategories and specific areas of struggle.
  • Example: If “Procedures” is your weakest category, you can drill down to see which subtopics (e.g., GU studies, pelvis, head) need attention.

How can I use this data to improve my study plan?

• Start with your weakest categories first.
• Use the subcategory breakdown to identify specific topics.
• Connect these topics to Learn content:
  • Example: If “Head” under Procedures is weak, review the Radiography Positioning course in Learn.
• After studying, take another Prep exam to measure improvement.

Best Practices

• Avoid taking PREP exams back-to-back without reviewing results.
• Use Reporting to diagnose, then study strategically.
• Repeat the cycle: Test → Analyze → Study → Retest.

Why This Matters

Reporting transforms Prep from a simple testing tool into a powerful study guide, helping you:

• Focus on what matters most.
• Save time by targeting weak areas.
• Build confidence for the ARRT registry exam.
