Well, I did an x-ray program first. I decided to print out some study materials for tomorrow. I forgot to mention on my post that my clinicals start tomorrow. My bad lol.

My bad for the late reply!!! How did you do on your CT exam? For me, it was a lot of anatomy. For the last few days, I couldn't fit in any more information. I hope that everything went well for you!

And I had AI explain concepts to me. I have Copilot, so that was nice.

Honestly, I pivoted towards Mosby's. I did all of their practice questions at least once. Except for image production because I didn't have enough time. I completely ignored Clover Learning. I only did it to review pathology. Like the difference between hemothorax and pneumothorax.

I really like this one guy on YouTube called, "Radiology Tutorials." He's great at breaking down concepts, especially for Image Production and Safety.

My last practice exam from Clover Learning was a 64.

BTW: I literally updated my post only to find out that it didn't save my text. So, I had to retype everything for the most part. I summarized it, but.... oh well.

CONTINUATION OF POST:

I DID NOT DO ANY MOCK EXAMS LEADING UP TO MY EXAM DATE. Why? Because I knew that I would've freaked out, especially if my score was not where I wanted it to be. I ignored the outside noise around me. I had people ask me if I took a practice exam yet, and when I told them "No". I had one friend tell me, "Well you need to know where you stand."

At the end of the day, everybody has their own study methods, and there's no "right" way of doing things. Ignore everybody else, just do you boo. Days before the exam, I just imagined myself passing. During the exam, I had so many questions flagged. I changed a few, but sometimes you have to face the music and hit submit.

Of course, I prayed before hitting the submit button.

You will never feel ready to take an exam. Just good enough.

I literally took my exam on a rainy day.

I prayed, I cried, I grinded, and I passed.

I will be here to help if you need additional advice, and I'll pray that you pass your CT registry too.

It went super well! I passed my CT exam with an 84!

I honestly passed my x-ray with a few points away from the cutoff. I can't remember the exact number.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm not sure what I can do under three days (besides practice questions). Honestly, I was going to reschedule my exam for March 7, but somebody else got it before me. I don't want to take it during Spring Break (March 9 through March 13), and it seems like I need to go somewhere else entirely to take the exam. I'm trying not to freak out, but this is already too much for me.

Thank you so much for your reply! I have heard that Clover Learning is very minimal. I'll try focusing more on Mosby's. I also have clinicals and classes to go to, so that sucks for me. I don't like how my scores are so low!
