Hello all, well that day finally came. I took the test. I can say this i felt like i was very prepared. I gave it my best shot. This blog will just give you guys a little more insight on the test. I got up at 4am Saturday morning May 1st, ate a simple breakfast (waffles and eggs). My motel was like 10 min from the testing site. I arrived to like 2 hrs early and went over all my material in the car. This gave me short term memory of some things fresh off my morning breakfast. I then went into the building like 5 min before testing time. I was nervous but ready. There was only one more there to test with me. I asked him how long had he prepared he worked for GE and he says oh man its mandatory that i take this and I’ve only been studying like 3 wks ( I don think that is enough time ). I was like OH OK well GOODLUCK. The test started- I felt like I was 100 percent sure on the first 60 questions some coming off my fresh memory and some from my 6 months of preparation. Once I hit like question 80 they hit me with a few confusing questions that were situation questions such as what equipment would you fix before the weekend and then they would have four similar options. The questions didn’t really confuse me I just wasn’t sure of the answer- a lot of this was related only for a biomed tech who worked in a hospital settings all the time. I used elimination and guessed on them I think there were like 8 to 10 like that. I can say there is alot of info from the study material on the test but they twisted the questions to where they would use an answer to ask the question for example. One really had to know the content of the material in order to know the exact answer. I do remember one question on the test that answered a previous question so you have to read each question in detail and if you dont know just skip and come back later. On this study site you would see the following question:

An illness or infection that was acquired while in the hospital is called:
A. Nosocomial
B. Contagious infection
C. Hepatitis A
D. Hepatitis B
The correct answer is Nosocomial. The real test will flip the question to go like this-
Noscomial is known to be acquired in what type of settings:
A. laboratory
B. Blood bank
C. Hospital
D. Operation Room
This answer is C. Hospital. So when you study make sure you understand the concept of all the material.

I saw a lot of stuff from the study guides, videos, sample questions and sample tests. I think that this test is passable and if I didn’t pass this time around I will be ready to get it done in November again. My advice is to use all the different sites and links from this forum and also the wiki site was very informative. I can say that I was very prepared for the test THANKS TO CTI Productions. There probably were 15 to 20 that I had no idea about but I maybe got lucky and guessed them correctly. I just wanted to share a few tips with you guys. Goodluck and GOOD STUDY!!!
