EEG BOARD EXAM WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS 2025-2026 GRADED A+
In a standard EEG setting, how many millimeters/second?
correct answers >> 30
Solve for Sensitivity correct answers >> Voltage/Amplitude
Solve for Amplitude correct answers >> Voltage/Sensitivity
Solve for Amplitude using a Legend correct answers >>
Calibration scale (uV) x wave height (mm) / calibration height
(mm)
Solve for Voltage correct answers >> Sensitivity x Amplitude
Solve for Frequency correct answers >> If given Single wave:
Distance of wave (mm) / paper speed (mm/sec)
If given Duration:
1 / Duration
Solve for Duration using a Legend correct answers >>
Calibration scale (ms) x wave width (mm) / calibration width (mm)
,Solve for Duration correct answers >> Distance of wave
(mm) / paper speed (mm/sec)
Given Frequency:
1 / Frequency
Why would paper speed changed from 30 mm/sec to 60 mm/sec
be done in an EEG? correct answers >> -Capture more detail
on fast waves
-This will stretch out page and waves to be able to help see the
spikes and sharp waves clearer
Why would paper speed changed from 30 mm/sec to 15 or 10
mm/sec be done in an EEG? correct answers >> -Compress
the recording to monitor very slow waves
-Shrinks page (more seconds per page) and helps to pronounce
slow wave
-Capture pattern of slow waves (rhythmic, periodic, arrhythmic)
Common Medication Types (7) correct answers >> -
Antipsychotic
-Antidepressant
-Anxiolytic or Hypnotic Drugs
-Anticonvulsant/Anti-Epileptic Drugs
-Ethanol
,-Anesthetic Agents

-CT
-Angiogram
-WADA
-SPECT
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) correct answers >> -Uses
a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the
organs and tissues within your body
-Cross sectional MRI images are used, but it can also be used to
produce 3-D images
