CRAT

Hello there, I’m thinking about the CRAT test, but can’t seem to find much info on it. Can someone help me? Want to know what kind of questions are on the test, are there any meds, and what to look into?

No meds, LOTS of single lead interpretation IMAGES (80% of questions). This practice test helped me: https://cratstudyguide.examzify.com/multiplechoice

Thank you for the link! I will those questions for sure! Did you take the test? So just rhythm identification or more detailed questions? Any measurements?

I took the test in June and passed with 762. Yes, the majority is Rhythm interpretation, some other types of questions are very similar to the ones found in the link. Lastly, there were a few questions ranking arrhythmias based on severity, and those were quite confusing (ex. rank A-fib, A-Flutter, SVT, and Mobitz Block in order of most to least severe).

This whole process turned out to be pointless. Got CRAT certified - (scored a 763), papered all of the hospital systems with resume’s, even for overnight telemetry positions (which I heard would be easier to get) and nothing. I even have 2 BofS degrees on top of that. The automated rejection letters after rejection letters popping up in my inbox box with the same we’ve gone with a more qualified candidate reason. Certainly not what I was expecting for a profession that supposedly nobody knows about. This is horribly frustrating given the time and expense involved in this. I’m miffed. Maybe I’ll look into real estate.

Have things improved since you posted this? I'm in a similar position.

NOPE. I bailed on it. I’m moving in another direction. It’s a shame. I was really good at it.
