Okay so I've been lurking here for months and I feel like I owe it to this community to actually post now that I finally passed. Third time was the charm, seriously. My first two attempts I was scoring in the low 60s and just could not figure out what I was missing. I work full-time in radiology tech and was trying to squeeze studying in during lunch breaks and after the kids went to bed — which, honestly, is not sustainable.
What finally clicked for me was actually changing how I was using my MR study guide. Instead of reading cover to cover like a textbook, I started treating it like a reference and drilling weak spots hard. I also found a solid MR practice test bank that actually matched the question style I saw on the real exam — the terminology, the way they phrase the clinical scenarios, all of it felt familiar on test day for the first time.
My biggest exam tips: don't sleep on patient safety questions, they're everywhere. And give yourself at least 10 weeks if you're working full-time. Anyone else prepping right now? Happy to answer questions.
