    Hi ,
    Thanks for the great job.
    When you apply for the Ardms spi exam and your documents are accepted,
    how long can they accept you to wait before you schedule to take the exam?
    Thanks.

    • @thatcurlysonographer
      @thatcurlysonographer  2 года назад

      Hey, good question! From what I remember, once your documents and application are approved by ARDMS, you should be able to schedule your exam right away. Make sure to schedule with enough time to study!
      If you haven’t yet, check out my video on How I Passed the SPI for more details ❤️

    So I took my ARRT on Wednesday and got a prelim score of 77, but it said my ABD score was 7.6 and OBGYN was 7.2 and I read somewhere that I needed a 7.5 on both sections soo I'm confused on whether or not I passed 😥

    • @thatcurlysonographer
      @thatcurlysonographer  2 года назад +1

      Hey! So that is correct, unfortunately I’m not sure if passing most of it is enough for them to pass you :( they’re pretty strict on scoring but I hope the weight of the other scores is enough to pull you through. I’m here for you either way!

    Hi, I bought the book you mentioned I just start my studying am taking the ARRT in November. Do you think the just the "Examination review for Ultrasound Abdomen and Obstetrics " is the only thing I need. I dedicate Wednesdays to physics only. I was looking for your email to talk to you private and ask silly question.

    • @thatcurlysonographer
      @thatcurlysonographer  2 года назад +2

      honestly if I remember correctly, I studied straight out of school (and even through clinicals) and my first attempt at the exam was mid-April so I would say about 3 weeks, then my second attempt was from that point till May so a little over a month of re-studying ☺️

    Hi, I wanted to know do you need to pass thd SPI first to take ARRT?

    • @thatcurlysonographer
      @thatcurlysonographer  2 года назад

      Generally, yes, at least in my school that was the instruction we were given. I believe there’s a certain timeframe you have to pass the SPI even after graduating before taking any other exam. Hope this helps!

    • @PurityFamily
      @PurityFamily 2 года назад

      Yes, according to the ARDMS site you always have to take the SPI first regardless of the route. If your program is accredited by CAAHEP, then ARRT isn't necessary. The ARRT is required for programs who aren't accredited by CAAHEP. You can verify if you're program is accredited by checking on CAAHEP.org. And you can find more about route to becoming a RDMS here: www.ardms.org/wp-content/uploads/pdf/ARDMS-General-Prerequisites.pdf
      So if program Accredited your route is:
      1. SPI (Once finished with physics and receiving a C or above grade) and
      2. ARDMS (after finishing the program and having passed the SPI)
      If not accredited:
      1. SPI (Once finished with physics and receiving a C or above grade) and
      2. ARRT (after finishing the program and having passed the SPI)
      3. ARDMS (after passing the ARRT)

    • @thatcurlysonographer
      @thatcurlysonographer  11 месяцев назад

      You don’t necessarily have to, but a lot of hiring places (at least where I live) don’t always recognize the ARRT for Sonography, or they would prefer you have your RDMS. I like to have both registries to make it easier for me and my employer

    Congrats!!!! I have a question did you take your ARDMS already, or did you have to take the ARRT first before being able to take the ARDMS??!! Would be super helpful if you did a video over this because my sonography program is accredited but not by CAAEHP so I can’t sit for my ARDMS as soon as I graduate but I want to know if I take my ARRT and pass first then I can sit for the ARDMS

    • @thatcurlysonographer
      @thatcurlysonographer  3 года назад +3

      great question! so my school wasn’t accredited so I did have to sit for ARRT, then once I passed my professor was able to sign me up for ARDMS. I was able to sit for the OB/GYN exam July 2nd and now I’m taking the Abdomen next Tuesday, August 17th!
