RRT exam day tips — what nobody tells you beforehand

Bookmarking this. I'm still in the early stages of RRT prep and threads like this are way more useful than generic study guides. The specifics about practice test are particularly helpful — that's the section I've been avoiding.

Late to this thread but wanted to add — the practice test section trips up more people than any other part. If you're scoring below 74% there in practice, treat it as your only focus for at least a week before moving on. Breadth at the expense of depth in that area is a common mistake.

Really helpful breakdown, thanks for sharing. I'm at week 2 of my RRT prep and the study guide section is exactly where I'm struggling too. Going to try the approach you described and see if it moves my scores.

Congrats on passing! Can I ask — how many questions did the actual exam have compared to what the practice tests simulate? I've seen different numbers online and want to calibrate my timing during practice.

For what it's worth — I've taken the RRT twice now. First attempt I underestimated the practice test questions. Second time I focused almost exclusively on applied practice and passed comfortably. The difference is real.
