If you want to go through the program, dedicate yourself to it and plan on studying...it's an educational program, not an activity in torture. Sounds all good but I have seen student that got straight A's fail the test. 1. Being timed doesnt help 2. You cant stuff 2yrs into 220 questions 3. your not gonna be perfect in all aspects of radiology 4. You get your experience when you start to work and even then your still learning. 5. Sometimes the real book smart radiology students dont have the people skills to take xrays, so even if they pass the test if they dont have people skills its money wasted. reality is greater than fiction.

Reality IS greater than fiction. And the reality is:
1. With almost 30 years experience as a nationally Registered Radiographer, I have never seen a student who successfully completed an accredited 24-month program with a 4.0 GPA fail the national exam.
2. Being timed simulates the pressure you'll be under as a responsible Radiographer while working with anxious patients, frantic families, screaming physicians. Being timed is the least of your worries.
3. No one expects a brand new graduate to be perfect. Believe it or not, the rest of us aren't, either.
4. You get your first exposure and experience as a student. If you think that the number of clinical hours required as a prerequisite to taking the exam is too low, then you should contact the ARRT and explain that. (You are correct that learning continues and skills become more finely tuned with further practice.)
5. People skills are not the most important attribute of a healthcare professional. (What exactly do you mean by 'people skill', anyway?)

Professionals are made, not born. Professionals exhibit expertise gained through a combination of education (book smarts) and practice, supported by compassion and respect. It's wonderful if you're good with people ... that does not qualify you for the same credentials I carry.

Good luck with your exam results, but you might want to re-think your attitude.

Unfortunately, the other thing to consider when evaluating a progarm (besides the most important - is it accredited) is their Registry pass rate.

Since the school you're currently looking at does not have a history as an accredited school, they don't have reliable stats for you.

I know that newer programs might have a tougher time getting going with people like me ... but I wouldn't invest major money in a program with no track record.

Good luck in your search. If you want to see the list accredites schools, go here: http://www.arrt.org/index.html?content=http://www.arrt.org/nd/listOfSchools.ndm/listSchools&iframe=yes
