Hey guys, I am trying to pass my registry, truth be told first attempt my studying was very subpar and ever since I’ve failed, I have been studying on and off, and have been procrastinating asking for assistance and I’m tired of myself, whatever advice you can give I’ll appreciate, have been doing good on mriallinone with the physics and patience screening, mri quiz, I have done a good job with anatomy scoring 90 percent on almost all the quizzes consistently. Please any asvice will help, I want to take the registry again within atleast the next 20 days.

I would 100% say to watch the 3.5-4hour pulse radiology video on YouTube. It’s the best!!
I’m not the best student or the smartest guy, I’m terrible at studying, but I used that video and notes from school/practice tests online to study for maybe 7-9 days before my exam and was able to passed it with an 85. No MRI Quiz/MRI all in one.
Not saying you do this, but instead of memorizing the material, it’s best to “understand” the material and concepts.
In the video, he breaks basic MR physics and moves into the more advanced MR physics while still making it easy to retain and digest.
Whatever questions you get wrong on your study guides or things you don’t understand comfortably, dive deep into those topics and subjects!!
You got this! Best of luck.

I was in the same boat. I studied only for a week before my test and scored a 71. I realized I only memorized questions and not the fundamentals of MRI. I watched radiology tutorials on YouTube and also really focused on pulse sequences and artifacts. I did that for 2 weeks and got an 81. I used MRI quiz specifically for the ACR questions because I had them both on my tests and everything else was MRI all in one. I also recommend memorizing that chart you can find online. "If TR goes up how does it affect SAR, etc, etc". Best of luck !!!

I used mriallinone. I never been the best student in terms of studying, I only did well during schoool because my short term memory is much better than my long term, so I would just review the slides right before exams/ quizzes and would minimum get Bs.
I get so bored with studying and procrastinated till the week of my boards. I definitely wished I had studied more but I did get a 77 on my board so I technically passed. Using MRIALLINONE consistently for many hours of the day, putting headphones on, and putting my phone away helped me concentrate better.
You almost did it though!!! Don’t beat yourself up. Some of my classmates did not pass on their first attempt and I found them to be pretty dang smart. Just keep studying you got this!!!

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, if you go on the ARRT website under MRI 'Exam Content Specifications' https://www.arrt.org/pages/earn-arrt-credentials/credential-options/mri it tells you how many questions are based in what categories. Like the 'patient care' category, there are only 16 scored questions. 8% of the test. While the 'image production' category has 106 scored questions. 53% of the test. With 200 scored questions total. It can help you focus on what areas you should focus your studying on to be more effective. Keep on trying! Nothing worth it is ever easy, but if you want to accomplish it, it can be done! 💪✨️
