, RAD400 Practice Exam 2025/2026 Study Guide: Tips, Strategies, and
Reliable Preparation
1. Understanding RAD400: What to Expect
RAD400 typically assesses advanced knowledge in:
• Diagnostic imaging procedures
• Radiation safety and protection
• Patient care during imaging
• Radiologic physics and equipment operation
• Pathology identification through imaging
• Ethical and legal responsibilities
Exam Format Overview:
• 100–120 multiple-choice questions
• 3–4 hours time limit
• Case-based scenario questions
• Emphasis on critical thinking, not just memorization
2. Smart Study Strategies for Success
a) Master the Core Content
Focus on these high-yield topics:
• Radiographic Procedures: Positioning, protocols, anatomical landmarks
• Radiation Physics & Biology: X-ray production, interactions with matter
• Radiation Protection: ALARA principles, dose reduction techniques
• Image Evaluation: Recognizing artifacts, quality control
• Patient Care & Ethics: Contrast media reactions, informed consent, confidentiality
b) Use the Exact Practice Questions Wisely
• Active Recall: After reading a question, answer without looking at options.
• Spaced Repetition: Review difficult questions multiple times over days.
• Error Logs: Track every missed question and why you missed it.
3. Test-Taking Tips on Exam Day
Tip Why It Helps
Answer Every Question No penalty for guessing; maximize your score.
Flag and Move On Don't waste time stuck — flag hard questions to revisit.
, Tip Why It Helps
Eliminate Wrong Choices Narrowing options increases chances even if you guess.
Read Every Word Key modifiers like “always,” “never,” or “most likely” change answers.
Stay Calm During Case Scenarios Break the case into facts, then answer step-by-step.
4. Must-Know Techniques for RAD400 Questions
Technique 1: Keyword Spotting
Focus on keywords like "most appropriate," "first action," "primary concern."
Technique 2: Reverse Thinking
Ask yourself: "Which answer would be wrong for this patient?" to eliminate distractors.
Technique 3: Priority Principles
Remember key frameworks like:
• ABC: Airway, Breathing, Circulation (in emergencies)
• Radiation Protection Order: Time, Distance, Shielding
5. Bonus Last-Minute Review Tips
• Day Before: Skim notes, do not cram. Relax mentally.
• Morning of Exam: Light review of formulas, key facts.
• During Exam: Breathe, pace yourself, trust your prep!
Example Quick Review Topics (Highly Tested)
