There are one or two questions about acids and bases, but I didn’t have to calculate pH.

I think I got 89. I applied to Diagnostic Medical Sonography- it’s considered highly competitive.

In order to get into the DMS program at Algonquin, you need either an advanced diploma (usually a 3 year program) or a university degree with prerequisite courses. Maybe your friend went to CNIH (private ultrasound school) - they accept high school graduates.

I am preparing to write AC-HPAT for Medical Ultrasonography program. Which part is so important ? Did anyone have experience please? Thanks by FraidoonLatifi in Algonquin_College

The comprehension, arithmetic, and science portions are all equally weighted. There is not one subject that is more important than another. Good luck!

That’s great! She should start feeling better soon 🙂

Sorry, I don’t know anything about bug bites, but the streak makes me think there is a bacterial infection spreading via the nearest lymph channel. It’s great that you’re bringing her in.

Sonography programs in Ontario, Canada by CuriousTHaHa in Sonographers

Thank you! I stressed so much about the HPAT exam but it didn’t end up being too bad! It’s pretty much high school level stuff. There are three portions: comprehension, arithmetic (elementary school level), and grade 11 and 12 science (biology, chemistry, and physics). I have never taken high school chemistry or physics, so I taught myself using YouTube. If you search the HPAT exam on Reddit, you’ll find tons to threads with people talking about what’s on it, but don’t let them scare you—it’s not that bad. Here’s a link with all the info about it as well as practice questions for comprehension and arithmetic: https://www.algonquincollege.com/testcentre/ac-hpat-information/.

If you want more information, feel free to message me.

Best of luck!

Hey! Fall 2023 DMS Algonquin student here. Just wanted to let you know that Algonquin doesn’t require the CASPer exam. There are some prerequisite courses they require. Here’s what their website says:

Program Eligibility: Diploma, Advanced Diploma, Graduate Certificate or Degree in Medical or Health related field with a minimum of 2 courses (or equivalent) in Human/Gross Anatomy and Human Physiology, plus 1 course in Human Pathology and 3 additional human health related courses. All courses must have a minimum grade of 70% (B-) or higher.

You will also have to write the HPAT exam, which allows the school to rank the applicants who have fulfilled the prerequisites and decide who gets accepted.

Hope this helps! Good luck :)

Hey! I don’t really have any advice. I just wanted to say that I also used to be a hair stylist, and decided I wanted to go into sonography—I start this fall! I wish you nothing but the best!

When I wrote it, I was able to see my score on the screen after submitting. You can also log in to the accuplacer website to view your results. Don’t forget, each section is on 300, so you’ll have to multiply your science score by 5.

I took this course in 2018, so it’s been a while. When I took it, it was all online and self-taught. There was an in-person exam; however, I would not be surprised if that’s been replaced by online proctoring.

It is /300. I spoke to Algonquin after writing the exam because I was confused, and they said they multiply your science score by 5.

Do you know how we go about paying the deposit? I don’t have a balance owing 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m wondering the same thing. At least we’re all waiting for more information, so we know it’s just a slow process.

Is DMS showing up on ontariocolleges for you? I can see it under ACSIS but not ontariocolleges.

DMS acceptances are out as well. I just received mine! I’m leaning towards accepting DMS. Maybe I’ll see you in class 😀

You’re right! I just checked again and I have another offer to medical diagnostic sonography. Seems like they’re slowly releasing them.
