NOTICE OF EXAM
Approximately fifteen (15) business days prior to the exam date, a "Notice of Exam" will be
sent to all eligible candidates. This notice must be taken to the exam site. The notice will
confirm the time and location of the exam.
IMPORTANT: This notice is required for entry to the exam site; contact CAMRT if
you have not received it.
6.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PREPARING TO WRITE THE EXAM
Review the Study Guide and Competency Profile Documents!
The Competency Profile describes the outcome required for entry to practice as well as
providing the foundation for development of the exam blueprint.
The Study Guide contains the exam blueprint that provides a weighting of the percentage of
questions asked per module as related to the Competency Profile. The Study Guide also
contains the recommended reading list, sample questions, glossary (where applicable), code
of ethics, and standards of practice.
Competency Profiles and Study Guides are available on the CAMRT website.
7.
WRITING THE EXAM
The CAMRT exam is composed of stand-alone and case study questions. All questions are
asked in multiple-choice format. The exam is presented in the form of two booklets.
The exam is written in one day, in two sessions, each three-hours long. Session one is
scheduled from 09:00 to 12:00, and session two is scheduled from 13:30 to 16:30, with an
hour and a half break for lunch.
a. Preparation
1. What to Bring
Identification
Candidates must present their "Notice of Exam" to the invigilators at the exam site
prior to writing each part of the exam.
Candidates must be prepared to present "photo identification" on request at the exam
site. A driver's licence, employment card, passport or similar official identification
with photo and signature will meet this requirement.
Pencils / Eraser / Calculators
Candidates must bring three soft lead (HB) pencils and a soft pencil eraser. Marking
answers and/or identification information with anything other than a HB pencil may
interfere with the electronic scoring.
August 2008
7
#29155
Only non-programmable calculators are permitted. Candidates should bring an extra
supply of batteries, as electrical outlets may not be available. Candidates are not
allowed to share calculators. Calculators must not be in cases and are subject to
checking by the invigilator. Cell phones with calculator capability are not permitted.
Summary of Clinical Competence
This is ONLY applicable to graduates of Canadian accredited education programs;
NOT required for internationally educated candidates.
Initial (first write) Canadian educated candidates must bring their completed and
signed "Summary of Clinical Competence" and submit it to the invigilator upon
arrival at the exam site. Summaries must NOT be inserted in the exam envelope.
2. Items NOT Allowed
There will be no eating, drinking or smoking during the writing of the exam. Food
and drinks are NOT allowed in the exam room; they are a distraction to the other
candidates, and could spoil exam material and answer sheets.
Books, notes, texts, cell phones, Personal Data Assistants (PDA) and pagers may
NOT be brought into the exam writing area.
3. Suggestions for Clothing
Since candidates will be sitting for several hours, comfortable clothing should be
worn. We recommend layered clothing that can be put on or taken off to allow for
comfort in variable room temperatures.
b. Arrival at the Exam Site
1. Candidates must arrive at the exam site approximately thirty (30) minutes prior to
the exam time to allow for seating arrangements and identification checks.
Candidates who arrive late will not be given extra time to complete the exam.
Candidates will not be allowed into the room 30 minutes after the start of the exam.
2. Candidates must ensure the identification on the exam envelope handed to them by
the invigilator is accurate. If the identification is not accurate, the candidate MUST
bring this to the attention of the invigilator, who will either provide the correct
envelope or include this discrepancy in the report submitted to the CAMRT.
c. During the Exam
1. LISTEN to all instructions and announcements by the invigilator.
2. Candidates must open their OWN exam envelopes.
READ ALL exam instructions carefully.
August 2008

#29155
3. Candidates will not be allowed to leave earlier than thirty (30) minutes after the start
of the exam. If a candidate must leave the room for personal reasons, an invigilator
will accompany the candidate. Candidates will not be allowed additional time to
make up for the interruption.
4. ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS! There are approximately 125 questions on each part
of the exam (approximately 250 total for the complete exam). Select the best
response for each question. Marks are not deducted for incorrect answers. Some
exam questions have corresponding images (or tables) to consider when answering.
5. SCRAP PAPER: extra paper will be attached to the back of the exam booklet to be
used for notes and calculations. No other scrap paper is allowed.
Computer Answer/Score Sheet: The computer answer sheets are electronically
scanned and scored. It is very important that these answer sheets be filled out
correctly. A sample answer sheet is provided in the Appendix 2 to demonstrate
the correct way of completing the candidate and exam data required.
6. NEIGHBOURS: Do not worry about candidates seated near you. There are many
different styles of writing exams; some people show confidence while others show
nervousness. Keep in mind that some people finish exams very quickly. Do not
allow this to disturb you or affect your exam strategy.
7. Should there be evidence of dishonest behaviour, the candidate(s) will be
disqualified from the exam, and will be denied future opportunities for certification
with CAMRT.
d. At the End of the Exam
Candidates must immediately stop writing on their answer sheet when time is called at
the end of the exam.
If required, candidates will be given an additional 15 minutes to complete the comment
sheet included in the exam package. The comment sheet is given for the purpose of
providing feedback regarding the content and administration of the exam.
When completed, place the answer sheet, exam, images, scrap paper and comment sheet
back into the envelope and seal with one of the candidate ID barcode labels provided;
then return the sealed envelope to the invigilator.
e. Mailing of Results
Under normal circumstances, exam results are express mailed to candidates within four
weeks after the exam date.
IMPORTANT: Exam results are NOT released by telephone, fax or e-mail.

EXAM SCORING AND RELEASE OF RESULTS
a. Exam scoring process
The CAMRT sets the passing score on certification exams using a panel of disciplinespecific experts from across Canada called the Exam Validation Committee (EVC). The
experts include didactic and clinical instructors, as well as direct patient care providers.
The EVC for each discipline sets the passing score for each exam using a modified Angoff
Method. This method is the accepted practice for high-stake, competency-based certification
exams. With this method each exam question is rated based on the expected success rate of
a minimally competent entry-to-practice technologist. For each exam question the experts
answer the question “What percentage of minimally competent, entry level technologists
would be expected to answer this item correctly”. The EVC considers other relevant data
when rating to ensure the standard that candidates must achieve is fair and valid. This
includes preparation of new graduates at education program level, performance of
candidates on previously administered exams and statistical data for each exam question.
Once all the experts have rated each exam question, the ratings are collated and the average
rating is calculated for each exam question. These ratings are then averaged to obtain a
passing score for the total exam.
The CAMRT certification exam is in two parts, Booklets 1 and 2. The candidate must
achieve a passing score on the combined parts.
b. Release of results
THE EXAM RESULT IS FINAL.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE EXAM RESULTS
GIVEN OR DISCUSSED OVER THE TELEPHONE.
PASS: A candidate who achieves success on the certification exam will be issued a “Pass”.
The candidate has met the standard for entry-to-practice and is eligible for the CAMRT
credential. There will be no numerical marks given to candidates who pass the exam.
FAIL: A candidate who has not been successful in the certification exam will be notified
that they have failed. Each failed candidate receives a performance profile indicating:
ƒ The candidate’s total raw score (number of questions they had correct)
ƒ The raw score required for a pass
ƒ A breakdown by Competency Profile Module, comparing the number of questions asked
on the exam in that module to the number of questions candidate had correct. In some
modules, a further breakdown will be provided depending on the content of the module.
The breakdown per module will give the failed candidate an indication of areas of
weakness. This information is provided to allow the candidate an opportunity for
remedial preparation.
IMPORTANT: The answer sheets of candidates with a “borderline” result – those
with a total number of correct answers within 3 (three) marks of the passing raw score
– are remarked by hand to confirm the number of correct answers BEFORE the
candidate’s result is released. The score as indicated in the result letter is final.
