So I've been trying to pass the CPSGT for almost a year now and honestly I was starting to feel like I'd never get there. First attempt I scored a 68, second time a 71 — so close but still not clearing that passing threshold. I work as a sleep tech at a small clinic and my supervisor kind of just threw me into the role without much formal training, which I think is part of why I kept hitting these gaps in my knowledge.
What finally turned things around for me was actually committing to a structured CPSGT study guide instead of just rereading my AAST materials randomly. I also started doing a CPSGT practice test every Sunday morning for six weeks straight — timing myself, reviewing every wrong answer, writing down WHY I got it wrong. Game changer. The polysomnography scoring section and equipment troubleshooting questions were killing me before.
Third attempt I passed with an 82. If anyone else is stuck in that 68-74 range, I really want to help. What's everyone finding hardest about this exam?
