CAMRT MRI Exam

It is a competency-based exam built from the Entry-to-Practice Competency Profile, with the assessed content defined in the published Exam Blueprints. CAMRT also publishes guidance on how to write a competency-based exam, which is worth reading before you start studying so you understand the style of questioning rather than only the content.

Those figures are not stated on the certification pages retrieved here; they belong to the Exam Blueprints and the exam dates and fees pages. Read the blueprint for your discipline and the dates and fees page directly, and treat any item count or time limit you see elsewhere as unverified unless CAMRT publishes it.

The source material available does not state a passing score, so none is given here. Passing requirements are set by CAMRT and communicated through its certification policies and results pages. Confirm the current standard on camrt.ca before you sit the exam rather than relying on second-hand figures from peers or forums.

Yes - CAMRT maintains a dedicated Rewriting the Exam page under the after-writing-the-certification-exam section, so a rewrite pathway exists. The conditions, waiting periods and any associated fees are set out there and in the general policies, fee schedule and timelines document, which you should read before registering for a rewrite.

CAMRT lists an Exam Preparation Guide, glossaries and abbreviations, guidance on writing a competency-based exam, practice exams, recommended textbooks, and Canadian Practice in Medical Radiation Technology. Internationally educated candidates also have exam preparation courses, bridging programs, an assessment process and language fluency requirements. Start with the preparation guide and one practice exam to identify gaps.

Yes. CAMRT separates Entry-to-Practice Certification for graduates of Canadian accredited programs from the IEMRT stream, which includes an assessment process, language fluency requirements, bridging programs in Canada, an orientation course for internationally educated health professionals, and exam preparation courses. Follow the IEMRT pages rather than the Canadian-graduate registration steps.

Studying content without studying the exam's structure. The exam is competency-based, so questions ask you to apply and prioritize rather than recall isolated facts. Candidates who only memorize lists often misread the stem. Work through the competency profile, use practice exams under time pressure, and review every wrong answer against the competency it maps to.

Read the Entry-to-Practice Competency Profile and your discipline's Exam Blueprint first to see what is weighted. Then work through the Exam Preparation Guide, fill content gaps using recommended textbooks and the glossaries, and finish with practice exams. Keep Canadian Practice in Medical Radiation Technology for the professional-practice material, which is easy to underestimate.

Each has its own page under the certification section: Examination Accommodations, Cancellation and Refunds, Obtaining Examination Results, and Examination Reconsideration and Appeals. Accommodation requests and cancellations normally carry deadlines, so read those pages early - ideally before you register - rather than after a problem arises.
