I m intending to take SPI; but not getting any suitable guide. I have purchased Secret guide but It dosn't cover new SPI.

It sounds a little nerve wrecking. I guess I now have to buy tons of new books and mock exams to try to prepare myself for the SPI. I have no clue as to what is best. Every book is different.

Re the SPI exam I used edelman understanding physics in addition to the siminar notes from there physics seminar and well on the exam 614 of 700 almost everything in the book was on the exam

I'm studying for the new SPI exam, working on the RVT. I believe I over prepared the exam the first time around but I landed both physics same day. It's important to practice exam questions from a couple sources till you know what they're asking. Objective is to train yourself to read the question to determine what they are asking.

It took me two attempts to land the Specialty portion on the Echo exam because I was working in a high stress environment with poor support systems. Stuff won't go in if your stressed. So chill; if you prepare and get adequate rest you can pass the thing.

I am glad that are implementing a single exam for all 3 specialties, however I do not its fair to ask someone like myself, who is RDMS and RDCS to take a third physics exam in order to get my RVT. I have already passed my Vascular Technology test and all I need is the Physics in order to get my RVT. Here I am studying for the 3rd time in order to get my new specialty, whereas if we have someone fresh out of school trying to get more than 1 registry all they will need to do is just take one test. I think someone should have thought about grandfathering in such people as myself.

I took the physics portion of my credentials three times and finally passed. I bought every study aid, went to all reviews, bought cards, video tapes, CD's you name it. After finally passing and then becoming an ultrasound instructor i realized that being credentialied didn't change my ability to be a great sonographer. Nothing had changed but theh alphabet soup after my name. I realized that I had trouble passing the physics portion of the registry because I had test anxiety. After much thought I have joined forces with a fellow sonographer and we are in the process of completing "The Guide to SPI". It will be available online though our website sometime in April. We will launch our first review seminar at the end of March. I personally will sit for the SPI exam in April so that I can walk the walk and talk the talk. Feel free to look us up at www.theguidetospi.com in April. Good Luck

The ARDMS has continued to up-date the information on their website pertaining to the move to the single physics exam. Unfortunately there is also a lot of misinformation floating around the sonography community. The suggestion I have is to review the information at

http://www.ardms.org/default.asp?contentID=898

and contact the ARDMS's registrant services if you need additional information. The organization is there to assist applicants as well as educators and their students.

I wish there was a grandfather clause for this new spi exam. I'm already RDMS, but it took me 3 tries to pass the physics exam and currently in the process of getting RVT. I've taken the Vascular Technology exam but still need to pass the Vascular Physics exam but here i am again, this will be my forth or fifth time trying for this physics exam...........I'll never be RVT! I've gone to the physics seminars etc. why are the exam questions, Abstract.....this is why there is only about a 50%passing rate for these exams.........only half the candidates who take the exams are abstract thinkers. Because i know the material but don't understand the wording in the exam questions, what they are asking. I want to be RVT, but for some reason can not pass the physics exam. They should have already come up with this idea of one physics exam.....it only makes sense. Why have 3 separate physics exams asking the same kinds of things. I'm writing a comment to see where i'm going wrong and how i can pass this exam. I'm afraid of the SPI exam, so i am currently trying to study and take the Vascular Physical Principle's exam before i no longer can. I'm just very concerned i want to be RVT and soon if i can not pass this physics exam, i will have to retake the Vascular Technology exam which i don't want to do, obviously. :) Sorry to ramble on, just thought you might have some words of wisdom to get me through this so i can become RVT! :) thank you

I still don't understand? I want to become RVT , do I need to take one test or two???
