All you have to do is to study the Davies Vascular Mock CD and 15 days before the RVT test, get ESP's X-Zone. I passed the first time. Study the CD inside and out, take the mock at least 40-50 times. Then the ESP X-Zone, do each section 30-40 times. I passed with flying colors. And you can do it too. I also make my own questions, it is 129 pages in a word document. Self- Made test by me. Preparation is KEY!

 Thanks
 
 
 Do u remember some of the questions and pictures. Were there a lot on those pos neg value? Any info that u can share would be great! Thanks
 Anyone out there that still remembers what's on the RVT test would be an asset for all of us who are trying to pass this grueling exam!

 abid in Markham, Ontario said: I am reading (1)vascular diagnosis by M. Ashraf Mansour and Nicos Labropoulos and (2) peripheral vascular ultrasound by Abigail Thrush and Timothy Hartshorne. Are these good to pass vascular exam.? thanks
 
 
 I work for Dr. Mansour in Michigan! I am an RVT in his vascular lab...very good book! I must admit that I studied Davies and McPharlin/Rumwell to pass my vascular technology exam- straight to the point of what you need to know to pass!

 Abid in Markham, Ontario said: Let's make this forum little more useful by starting discussions.
 I don't like davies book much because of some mistakes and confusions. for example potential energy told to be the same as prssure energy and question 4 (PSV 125 and EDV 120) and question 5 at the end of section 1 are quite confusing. There is no mention of venous reflux and it's duration in venous section. Note I am talking about national certification examination review.
 Anyhow my question is do we use PW or CW for venous doppler, Davies says it is CW but we use CW to investige highest velocity along the path of sound beam, if we want to know velocity at a certain point for example artery of vein, we use PW.
 On page 27 Davies says pulsatile flow is abnormal in veins but at page 33 it says the effect of a right heart contraction is readilly tranmitted to upper extremity veins so the pulsatile flow in more prevalent in upper extremities than in lower. thanks for the answers and the help.
 
 
 I think its a great idea that everyone posts on here to buy each others material thats hard to find, and also talk about forming onlinestudy groups together. "Useful" is in the eye of the behodler. Good luck!

 diastolic component increases (normal) during reactive hyperemia since it's supposed to simulate excercise.

 verifications expired. Now they have expired and I have to reapply to take the test. And im not sure if that person is still going to qualify me again. Because I haven't worked in the field in a min. I wanted to know if there is any opening where you are or are they willing to let me volunteer or just watch someone work some days out of the week because I am getting rusty since I haven't scanned in a while and I just would like to stay up to date. plz help! I want this so bad I need someone to give me a chance. No one will hire you without a degree or experience so I dnt kno how you are supposed to get experience if know one will hire you. I am working in a whole other field but part time only so I have time to come and learn some things a few times a week. Or should I just focus on passing the exam alone I would appreciate any advice you have to give Alex.

 Hi alex congradulations I just want to tear up when I hear your story its so inspiring it gives me hope because I want to just give up at times I graduated back in 2006 I final passed my spi in 2010 it took me so long because the students kept hearing rumors on how our school my not be accredited and how we may not can get a job because of the school we went to.And also our teachers didn't really quide us when we graduated on which material would be best for the different test they did tell us to study the eldemans book for the spi and that ended up only being like 60% of what was really on the test so I was discouraged at that point I needed to know what should I study and I felt if my teacher wasn't going to give the the information then who could I trust so maybe like 3 yrs later I was visiting my school off and on looking for answers and this new teacher that was on campus recommended the davies physics cd so I purchased it and study from the edleman book I had studied for like 2 months prayed a prayer and went and took the exam I was terrified. when I finished and waited on the lady to give me my results I looked at he paper and literally took off running for the door.and the lady called me back and said I gotta give you your id I was almost brought to tears I was so happy and proud of myself. because I am a single mother of 5 kids and I try so hard to be a role model, its tuff. but anyway now I tried buying the flash cards for the vascular exam and one the directors at the school emailed me copys from the book of notes she had and again I studied for like 2 months went and took the test and failed since then I have taken it again in 2012 before my clinical

 Hi there,
 
 If you don't mind sharing, what did you use to review, besides school notes of course? My intentions are to take the RVT by the end of December. I just completed my program earlier this month and will take the other three registries first (abdomen, ob/gyn and echo). I just want to make sure I have sufficient material to study from because my program isn't accredited in vascular, but after I have RDMS or RDCS I can sit for RVT. WE only learned venous for school, but I did my clinical rotation in a vascular lab and really like vascular a lot.
 
 Thanks a lot!

 anita123 in texas, Texas said: Passed my RVT exam on March 26!!........Its very hard guys but not in the sense of material but more like trick questions. Everything is left with two possible answers and you are left debating which one is the better answer. Here is what I remember from the test. Know your symptoms for lower ext arterial/vascular and how they compare to ABI, know your carotid/vertebral symptoms and how they compare to velocities. Anatomy pictures of PTV, ATV and Per (not ultrasound pictures), know how to calculate ABI. DEF know Sensitivity/Spec/Neg PP/Positive PP/ accuracy!!!, Allen test, Bypass (what material is used, what veins are used for what type of grafts), Stenosis is grafts, Stenosis is Renal Artery, AAA and risk factors, Picture of the butterfly (MCA and ACA), know the depths, SMA after eating before eating, Celiac velocities should not change with/without eating, Which flows are low resistance and high resistance. Analog graphs. Know how a waveform reflects the cardiac cycle, volume ppg, Carotid velocites related to %stenosis and collaterals for intracranial stenosis, few questions on when you have a steady venous flow where is the dx, Ascending and descending venographs, reynolds and that is all I can remember.........but study hard....do the xzones if you can....and when you get a question wrong go look it up read the paragraph/chapter......that way you will cover everything you don't know...that is how i studied after I read Rumwell like 2 times.........its a good way to review what you know and don't know......Good luck!
 
 
 Good insight but I just took the RVT board and passed and none of the afforementioned was on it. It had everything but what you mention specifically. It did have quality assurance but move of mine was venous related and TCD with the remaining hemodynamics. I was surprised at the amount of obsolete vascular technique questions I had. You really have to have full command of the entire realm of the outlin

 AppyPeters in Kingsport, Tennessee said: For the people that have already taken this ARDMS Vascular test, what all was hit highly on your all tests? I am just not sure what all will be on the test and I am kinda nervous to take the test. What is needed to pass the test?
 
 
 Hey, I took the test yesterday and honestly it was easier than I expected. That may be considering I was terrified and studied everything. I remember that there was like 4 or 5 questions on QA (Sensitivity, PPV, etc). Majority came out of the big three: Cerebral, Venous, and Arterial. I did see a question that I may have got wrong about acceleration time, RI, PI, Systolic/Diastolic ratios, etc. know the difference in all the calculations. They really like those transcranial stuff also, there was a alot of questions on that (anatomy, direction of flow, symptoms is disease is present, etc.)
 
 Overall, I think it was a fair test if you study to know and not to memorize. The questions can get tricky if you memorize. As I mentioned in another post, I did almost just questions and studied the ones I didn't know and apparently that was good enough!
 
 Good luck!

 bdandron in Sebring, Florida said: [at] JCH in Knoxville, I'm in the same boat as you. What study books are you using? I have ESP and Pegasus both vascular.
 
 
 Sorry to hear about your situation. Ok, here's what I studied for vascular (passed it one time! 600+ score). ESP X zone, ESP Orange Flashcards, Davis Mock Vascular and Pegasus vascular booklet were the ones I studied. If you guys are not 90 and above percent on each of those Mock exams YOU ARE NOT READY for Vascular esp. the X-zone. Don't waste your money! Understand the concept in your mock that you can simplify and remember. I still have all the materials and willing to sell if you want any of the above that I listed. It is a huge amount of sacrifice and it took me 2-3 months to where I felt I am ready. Don't despair, anyone who wants something so bad and work hard for it, will be rewarded and you are not that far reaching it. You will both pass, I guarantee it.... Take care.

 Braveheart in Tempe, Arizona said: Every Ultrasound image I had on my test was extremely vague. They were aweful. I literally had to guess the answer and I know my anatomy but the image quality was just that bad. Shocking. I think any new grad considering sitting for the RVT should seriously consider some clinical experience prior. Just my opinion. Book smarts alone may not be enough. This test has the lowest pass rate and by far was twice as difficult as the ABD OBYGYN and Physics. Even the pre 2007 physics which was twice as hard as the new one.
 
 
 Have any tips on what to study? Do u have the mock cd??

 Actually there are multiple test. I think there are 5. So it is very possible that we didn't have the same test. There is a image test which is suppose to be the hardest.

 coolie in Atlanta, Georgia said: Passed my RVT last Saturday feels great OMG. If you have done a Vascular program all you need is the Davies CD, but if you did Echo with very little vascular like I did, you will need the book as well the CD. If you have a working background knowledge of vascular its easy to think the CD is all you need because its second nature to you, good thing I went with more than just the CD especially when it comes to anatomy. I think I will keep my CD to use for CME credits later.
 
 
 You are exactly right......just passed my RVT on May 10....... Used the Davies Workbook and CD .......they definitely work together well........just like the boards.......

 Hey,don't despair the test is hard and beyond frustrating! I read the Pegasus review book and the PASS book and did as many questions as possible. I think what really helped me pass was fully understanding the QA stuff like specificity, sensitivity PPV and NPV etc( there was a lot of those questions on my test). I used the xzone and bought the 2 week package and did questions round the clock and when I didn't get a question right I went back to the chapter and re read it. I also looked at old posts here and reviewed what other people suggested. Good luck I'm sure the third time will be the charm!

 dbaryosef in Las Vegas, Nevada said: Has anybody used the ESP x-zone for studying for the vascular technology exam? If yes did you find it helpful? I'm using it now and I find it extremely confusing and hoping that the ARDMS exam does not compare to it... Did you find the Ardms EXAM TO BE EASIER? (oops caps lock). I'm also using the Davies CD and find it a lot more helpful and more descriptive...
 
 
 I used the x-zone. I honestly do not think I would have passed without it!! about 40% of my questions came from it. I did buy the 15 day package for $99.00 and it cycled through new ?'s it seemed daily. Or would at least add new ones to the mix. I took it this morning & passed. So happy and relieved!!! Now a RDCS & RVT

 Dbaryosef in Las Vegas, Nevada said: Hi all, has anyone just studied the Davies CD for the RVT exam and passed? I'm debating whether to get a 5 day xzone as well.. everything is just costing so much money :/.. I've been using the CD for a few weeks now and have been passing with 75-79. How similar is the info on the CD with the actual ARDMS exam. I passed my OB last year doing mock exams but I can honestly say that the ARDMS exam was soo much harder. Any feedback would help :). Thanks
 
 
 Definately take the X-Zone. I passed using Davies, X-Zone and this other book I had. I used the 15 day X-Zone, better buy...and repetition is the key..I recommend doing the practice exams on ARDMS website. Those questions are on the test...Good Luck.

I will not reveal/hint at/ anything that will break my ethics. However, I will be willing to sell to those who may be interested, the material/notes that I used to study, before passing the exam the first time. Inquire at: dfr110[at]....com.

 chels2643     
 
 dfr110 in Lakewood, Washington said: You need to know (others have mentioned this) that the ESP material is simply just a shorter version of the Books and CDs you mention, with few, if any significant changes. If you have not attended an ESP review in person, you should do so, as it is very helpful, including the x-zone stuff. Now, I will be taking the registry 01/2015. When I hopefully pass, I will post on here my available materials. I have been studying everything I can get my hands on and I would suggest that and more. I would also recommend the newer Kupinski book, I mentioned in a post, 20 days ago. Some may not like that, I do. It is up-to-date and goes over areas that Davies and ESP do not. Plus the online "thepoint" from LLW is excellent.

 dfr110 in Lawton, Oklahoma said: donya...on a macro level it actually varies from State to State and even within the States, ultimately varies by whomever your fiscal intermediary is. Best way to determine this is to get on the SDMS website. On this website they have a very well-designed method for finding out the answer. Just be sure to follow the steps carefully. This should ultimately help you.
 
 
 Thanks I will do that...I have been hearing different answers from different people but no clear answer...So hopefully this site clears it up for me...

Good luck to anyone taking the test, it's a difficult one but do worth it when you pass!!

 Jenniheart in New York, New York said: Hey,don't despair the test is hard and beyond frustrating! I read the Pegasus review book and the PASS book and did as many questions as possible. I think what really helped me pass was fully understanding the QA stuff like specificity, sensitivity PPV and NPV etc( there was a lot of those questions on my test). I used the xzone and bought the 2 week package and did questions round the clock and when I didn't get a question right I went back to the chapter and re read it. I also looked at old posts here and reviewed what other people suggested. Good luck I'm sure the third time will be the charm!

 Jermaine in Newark, Delaware said: Hey, I took the test yesterday and honestly it was easier than I expected. That may be considering I was terrified and studied everything. I remember that there was like 4 or 5 questions on QA (Sensitivity, PPV, etc). Majority came out of the big three: Cerebral, Venous, and Arterial. I did see a question that I may have got wrong about acceleration time, RI, PI, Systolic/Diastolic ratios, etc. know the difference in all the calculations. They really like those transcranial stuff also, there was a alot of questions on that (anatomy, direction of flow, symptoms is disease is present, etc.)
 
 Overall, I think it was a fair test if you study to know and not to memorize. The questions can get tricky if you memorize. As I mentioned in another post, I did almost just questions and studied the ones I didn't know and apparently that was good enough!
 
 Good luck!

 Now that you are in this blog site I know that you will pass the next one BUT first, you must read almost ALL the related topics about it in this site and learn them bc everyone's comment on what to study were mostly in the test. #2. Do the X-zone mock exam, make sure you understand the concept and you're at least in the 95% to 100% score. and if you have problem understanding the questions go to #3. RESEARCH them using Davis Review by Claudia Rumwell. UNDERSTANDING is the KEY! It may take some time but you will pass this thing. Do not waste your $200.00 if you are not even nailing the x-zone. Good Luck!

 Thank you
 
 
 Hi Kent,
 I emailed the person that you sent the xzone questions to and they have not notified me of the emailed questions. Could you pls send them to me? I would greatly appreciate it. I am about to take the rvt test for the 6th time (yes I said 6) I am so frustrated that I cant pass. The last time that I took the test I missed it by 5 points. When I paid to take the test this time, I was kind of shocked to see that they raised the price to $250. so I really cant afford to sign up for the xzone too. Thank you so much if you can do this.

I have looked that up and thought about using it. I have taken the test and didn't pass and i'm planning on trying again at the end of June.
 
 
 Do you still have the vascular exam review book? If so how much for that? The cards I meant When were they written. I have some at work. Which i can't remember when they were written right now. But I believe they are orange. Did you feel that the x-zones really helped?

Seems like she should have been compensated for the pain and suffering of taking it the second time.
 
 
 I wanted to share some information of an awesome course for the RVT. I just finished a two day weekend course from: Vascular Diagnostics Educational Services: Marsha M. Neumyer,BS,RVT. Marsha is President of this company and an instructor for one of the major Ultrasound Review companies. She has been a Vascular Sonographer for more than 20 years and explains everything you need for the RVT. Most importantly she is a fellow sonographer and can identify with your needs since she works in our field.
 She can set up classes for your entire staff to attend and come to your site for the instructing.
 Email me bbattiger[at] att.net for any details.

 Thank you for the comment. I did appeal with a written letter and plan to take it again. I thought this exam was suppose to be fair. Not so vague and frustrating. I know the material, just the questions did not have a specific answer, even a mathmatical questions. The girl should not have had to take the test again, if she past the first time then she past. Being refunded for the test just does not make up for the emotions and time spent preparing for the exam.

On the other hand, there is also a lot in Rumwell that may not be on the test, so the Pegasus book is great if you understand the concepts and need good handy review book. Sorry it doesn't come with lecture as that is online only (I meant to say that it's the book that comes with lecture)

 Loren in Orange, California said: Just want to say thank you to this blog! I passed my RVT today! Not easy but based upon everyone's opinion and suggestions on what to study, wow, they were all true! I finished my test with 1 hour 42 minutes left! Thank goodness for that because I was able to go back 2x until I finally told myself, with 30 minutes left, to quit! It is not an easy test, not memorizing kind of stuff. You need to know what happens to what and where and how it affects the flow for any obstruction, stenosis, and half way in between. You must be well versed in your anatomy from the foot up to your circle of willis! The text that helped me the most with concept is X-Zone, Davis CD, and Pegasus mini book that we had a seminar on. With that and being able to understand the whereabouts of arterial and venous and their connections, you should be able to pass. I am elated and humble that I passed this thing first time, considering that we only do venous for DVT! All the studying was so beyond what I knew. Thanks to all the input of what to expect on this test! It is not easy for very limited techs like me. But for now, I get to keep my job (that was the stakes - Tenet made us sign that if we don't get RVT license, we're FIRED!!) Thanks to Tarel from Texas and Davogs. Yup, you are right. Do not take this test lightly, even if you are already doing the work. You still need to study! Take care and good luck to all !!!I am soooooo Happpyyyyyyy! Celebrating tonight with my husband at the ritzy spot in the OC! Woohoo!!!
 
  Congrats Loren! How long did you give urself to study? I've passed a few exams already and studied for 1mth each time. I hope it's enough this time, i'm taking the VT 11/3!

ESP X zone, ESP Orange Flashcards, Davis Mock Vascular and Pegasus vascular booklet were the ones I studied. If you guys are not 90 and above percent on each of those Mock exams YOU ARE NOT READY for Vascular esp. the X-zone. Don't waste your money! Understand the concept in your mock that you can simplify and remember. I still have all the materials and willing to sell if you want any of the above that I listed. It is a huge amount of sacrifice and it took me 2-3 months to where I felt I am ready.

 Hi Lynn, I took my vascular test today and the same thing happen to me, I did not pass my test and studied ALOT,I'm very frustrated that they ask you questions and dont have the right answers, I called ARDMS today and they told me to send write a letter and mail it in, probably will do no good,ahhh!!, what are you going to do?

 lynn in Wilmington, Delaware said: My test is still in appeals. I have called them they said it was an experimental question! that they put on the test. I studies alot too. and I had alot of confidence as well going in to take the test. I read the davies and cd mock test hundreds of times as well as years on clinical experience. Most people I have talk to said they had to take the muliple times. The ARDMS web site states that < 50% pass the first time and only approx 50 pass the second. I am not sure what I am going to do. If I win great. I thought the test was in poor quality not of the EXCELLENT standards and I heard that Mr Eldeman makes the questions he is our peer I quess. I am still going to keep readings and learning new things because I love my field of work. Just not sure about the ARDMS is all.
 
 
 OH if you do get any new information could you pls pass it all to me. thanks

 Hi.....I passed the VT part today and what helped me the most was the xzone from ESP. Learn from Davies 4th edition and the xzone makes you prepare for the trick questions.Get the five day xzone the days before you take exam. What i would like to ask you is how did you prepare for the SPI part as i need to take it next to get RVT. Thanks......mac~

 Maine in Newark, Delaware said: Definately take the X-Zone. I passed using Davies, X-Zone and this other book I had. I used the 15 day X-Zone, better buy...and repetition is the key..I recommend doing the practice exams on ARDMS website. Those questions are on the test...Good Luck.

 Up for trade my notes from accredited U/S program. I am looking for copy (or original) of ESP workbooks for ABD, OB/GYN and vascular. Or any of the Davies books or mock exams.
 These are word files of all lectures and labs. Each section includes many actual ARDMS questions from students who passed the exam. Very organized.
 Included:
 Abdomen
 Ob
 Gyn
 Physics
 Vascular
 Bonus: my notes I took after passing SPI last week with 95% - I was able to remember more than half of questions)
 pls contact me at kb323818[at]*.com

 monika in Cambridge, Massachusetts said: Unless you will be employed by a company where you could get one year of clinical training, you will need a cerfificate of vascular technologist. ARDMS will not allow you to take tests without a proof of Bachelor's degree in any subject, one year clinical and ultrasound physics class or seminar.[/QUO
 
 As long as your school was accredited, you do not need these things to take the rvt exam. You would just need a clinical verification form signed by a registed vascular tech. My program included vascular which most programs do.

 Sorry I didn't see this sooner. For some reason, I used to get notifications when there were new comments, but I am not getting them now. You may want to get both. The review is the book I said was like the ESP Inc. seminar, while the other book is questions and answers. The same questions and answers are also on the mock Cd but I'm not sure if they are the same amount of questions/answers.

 Hi Nancy, you might be interested in purchasing Vascular Technology by Davies Publishing. It has the same info as the ESP seminar book and is written by the same person who does the seminar. I have both and have compared them side by side and the info is pretty much identical, except the Davies book is slightly more in depth.

I've been studying Rumwell's Davies study book, mock exam, and flash cards. I'm hoping that if I push myself, I can be ready by the end of the month. I would love it if you could forward me your outlines (I'm horrible at taking notes!!!), I'd appreciate it and would be willing to cover any costs incurred. Congratulations again! Lisa

 NotSmart in New York, New York said: John:
 
 Yes, this IS cheating. I am more than happy too spell it out for you:
 
 YOU are facilitating a forum and providing actual exam information AND exam questions.
 
 Are you familiar with testing regulations? 'You are prohibited from communicating, publishing, reproducing, or transmitting any part of your test, in any form or by any means, verbal or written, for any purpose'.
 
 Furthermore, according to ARDMS, 'Candidates are prohibited from sharing or reporting examination content'. Don't believe me? Take a look at the website...
 
 It would probably be in your best interest to spend less time on the forums looking for an easy "pass" and more time studying.
 
 
 Thank you......your quote is right on........I wouldn't want someone doing my testing who took the easy way out......

 Depends. Did you take the "new" physics (SPI)? If you did, you don't have to take physics again. If you took physics for just one specialty (general, for example), though, you'll need to take the SPI.

 Roger in Oakland, California said: Here are my study materials that helped me pass my RVT:
 
 ESP's vascular course. You get a book that covers the exam outline, you get FREE X zone, and you get discount on other materials ESP sells (vascular cards, which I bought). Plus the professors that teach the Vascular course have written books on Vascular (Mcfarlin and Rumwell). They answered additional questions through email that I had.
 
 Introduction to Vascular scanning - Don Ridgeway. Pretty good read.
 
 Pacific Vascular - They offer courses in all aspects of Vascular, I've taken all of them. The Vascular foundation (4 day), Venous Insufficiency (1 day), Transcranial Doppler and imaging (3 days) and Abdominal (3 days). Each day is 4 hours of lecture and 4 hours of hands on.
 
 The Vein book - I was learning more on venous insufficiency as that is become another branch off vascular.
 
 Wes Todd's Cardiovascular science book Vol 1. Believe or not, that first book has a wide variety of great material for echo, cath, vascular, and ep. Truly a great resource.
 
 Vascular ultrasound: how why and where. It also comes with a dvd with a few clips.
 
 Of course - my internship, where I learned to scan arterial and venous and use the machines to maximize the study.
 
 
 I don't have much experience with vascular is there a way i get hands on for vascular ultrasound. I am planning to take the exam.

I'm plannibg to purchase but wasn't sure since it is expensive. How much time did u put into studying and was the board questions tricky or go in depth with each pathology? And were u allowed to use the calculator for calculations
 
 
 I was not allowed to use the calculator. It was definitely allowed for the SPI, but NOT for vascular. There were at least 3 segmental questions on my test, and the Q.A./statistics. I quit my job to study for this because they wouldn't allow me time off to take it. (this was mentioned in one of my earlier posts prior to the exam). I will say a good 4 weeks of very focussed studying should get you through.. More time than that really isn't necessary.
 
 The book by Claudia Rumwell was a very good investment why? Because it's EXACTLY everything she covers in her seminars and THEN some. It's on the Davies Publishing website. She covers stuff in this book that might or might not show up on the test. The x-zone is kind of like a wake-up call for that which isn't covered in the Davies.. Things you'll need to know.
 
 The boards don't seem to "go in-depth" with the pathology.. It's the way that they "word their answers"... It's not "straight forward" and as someone else posted, you're stuck with just choosing the "best answer" out of about 4 options.
 
 Know your anatomy. That is one thing i have emphasize, because they are very "round a bout" on this as well.

 seattle in Bellingham, Washington said: does the zone give you new questions each time you restart the test? Did you find the zone helpful?
 
 
 Yes.. there are a total of 500 questions that you will see while practicing the mock exam, once you have mastered those you are ready to sit for the boards.

 seattle in Kent, Washington said: Hi im planning to take spi soon do you have any recommendations on what to focus on and did you use xzone for it
 
 
 Go to Pegasus and he has an online seminar. I passed it the second time.
 ultranewbie     
 
 seattle in Tacoma, Washington said: For the anatomy portion did you have to know how the vessels lie to one another like the left renal vein crosses anterior to the aorta and posterior to the sma?
 
 
 yep.. or if a PICC line was inserted into the cephalic vein, what vessels would it transverse to it's destination?
 
 They give you about 4 sets of options. quite a few questions on PERIPHERAL vascular/venous anatomy.
 
 I did not get very many abdominal questions at all.. Maybe 4 or 5. The rest was statistics, bypass grafts, segmentals, quite a few venous anatomy, and peripheral vascular anatomy, and a LOT OF TCD.. carotid, a few pics on vertebrals and which way the flow was going.

 I wanted to take RVT exm. Your message and info. was very helpful. If you could pls sign my CV form.
 
 My email is shikha.astha[at]....com
 
 
 Shikha, if you cannot find a RVT that has observed your scanning and is not willing to sign your cv, you can put in writing an appeal to request a physician to sign your cv send the letter to ARDMS. Ardms will make a decision whether or not they will approve your request. I suggest you include your job future for not getting your rvt. pls note. the physician that you ask to sign, should have interpret/read your images etc. Appeal info. and a list of exceptions for cv signatures is on the ARDMS website. I hope this helps

 Sophia in Gilbert, Arizona said: Congrats Loren! How long did you give urself to study? I've passed a few exams already and studied for 1mth each time. I hope it's enough this time, i'm taking the VT 11/3!
 
 
 I month is good as long as you understand the concept of vascular. How the waveform is suppose to look whether it is distal or proximal obstructions. If you have done the x-zone and you are in the 90+ category and fully understand most of the questions you should be fine. The words that ARDMS uses are different from X-zone. But the concept of x-zone is there. So make sure if there is any doubt in your mind about any of the questions in x-zone, research them (Vascular Review Book by McPharlin/Rumwell and Pegasus Lecture Vascular that we attended)and understand them fully. It will just make your test taking strategy easier. You already passed most of the tests, I have no doubt that you'll nail this one also. Good luck!

 tammys in New Baltimore, Michigan said: I am studying from Todds cardiovascular review book and I am finding it very informative. I am going to take the CCI exam so I can be an RVS. I have given up on the RVT. After taking it 6 times, I just cannot take the disappointment anymore. THe CCI exam has a 57% pass rate where the RVT has a 35% pass rate. I know what I am doing at my job and the doctors that I work for are very happy with my work but in order for me to stay employed in 2014, I must be registered. SO I think this is the better way to go for me.

 Monday night would be great!

If there is anything you don't understand about the topic then you ask your question and everyone will reply. I have currently dissected cerebrovascular. I made my own flashcards, I am studying Davies 3 part and Edleman's review and flashcards. Examples of some comprehensive questions I have are 1.) What test is useful in intraoperative monitoring? 2.) Name some examples of surgical procedures TCD may be used to monitor? 3.) How do you continuously monitor the middle cerebral artery's blood flow? 4.) Using the transtemporal window, you see a vessel at the depth of 5mm this vessel has antegrade flow, with a propaga

Again thanks for sharing and CONTRACTS!!!!!
 
 
 I spent a lot of time memorizing numbers, but the test really didn't require that. Other than the depths and mean velocities of the vessels in the circle of willis, most of the questions involved explanations of how the waveforms change with respect to proximal or distal disease, i.e. increased PSV, dampened velocities, etc. My exam had a lot of ultrasound images on it as well.

 Texas Tech in Conroe, Texas said: The RVT exam is not hard!!!! Just passed today!!!! I used a combination of Edleman and Davies. The same combination I used for the SPI. My advise to anyone who is serious about passing is to concentrate on the core of the outline, Cerebrovascular, Peripheral Arterial, and Venous. Quality Assurance was the 4x4 chart and that was an easy way to rack up extra points. Everything that is on the outline is one the test, even if they only ask one question about a particular subject. I do not recall a single question on the vascular of the penis. Sma, before and after eating, celiac, before and after eating. Lots of TCD questions in reference to the transtemporal window as far as depth and direction of flow, the answer to most of the ones I had was the MCA. Questions about TCD and subaranchoid hemorrhage and vasospasm. Venous flow patterns for fluid overload and right side heart failure. If there is a continuous waveform with venous doppler, where is the stenosis? Questions were very repetitive. Anatomy was also an easy way to rack up points. Know which vessels form what and where they terminate. If you study, and understand the concepts of xzone and practice the mock exams from Davies, you will pass, the first time. Also know where the peroneals, posterior tibials, anterior tibials are located on a picture that is not ultrasound.

Just calm down you can do it! Look at it this way, I have probably seen all of the test that they have and that is GREAT. Whatever your next test is, you have probably seen it.

She also emailed me that same list and gave me some great information on what to know as for as if you have a velocity that is THIS high, then what % is the stenosis? If you have a waveform where is the lesion? If appears it is designed to make you apply the principals, it is obvious you know it. Stay encouraged, leave your email, and I will email you and leave you my number and we van try to help you get a pattern down to get this test passed.

 Texas Tech in Hammond, Louisiana said: Actually preparing for my RVT exam now, the information don't seem be really hard just way too much. I am interested in knowing how long did you all study the material before actually going to sit for your exam. I am studying Vascular Technology by Claudia Rumwell Mickey McPharlin, I also have the cd Rom from Davies and his mock exam review book questions, I don't particularly like the review books setup. I particularly like to answer comprehension questions in the order of my reading instead of having to find the.particular section in the review book. Haven't used the cd Rom yet because I am sure it is the same questions as the book. Just ordered the flashcards from Edleman's site. I think this will be a great way to reinforce the book concepts and answer comprehensive questions from the reading with the rationales. I have 2 additional Cd Rom downloadable for SPI physics and Vascular Technology if anyone is interested. The SPI exam was very consistent with Davies Cd Rom, I scored 656 out of 700 and finished my exam in 46 minutes. If interested let me know.
 
 
 Interested in the CD Rom for SPI from Davies.

 Texas Tech in Houston, Texas said: Hey, have you found the study material you ate looking for? If not I have plenty, Davies 3 part series, Edleman's or should I say Rumwell and MccPharlin's flashcards and seminar book. If you would like to group together and study sometimes that would be awesome.
 
 
 hi, I am studying vascular and would love to study Rumwell and Mccpharlin's seminar book. I used eldemans physics seminar book and burwin to pass the physics portion. I thought it was very helpful. Do you still have the vasc. seminar book. I would really appreciate it if you contact me at kim.connors[at] comcast.net.
 I am taking the test in 2 1/2 weeks
 Also I am thinking about purchasing the flash cards! DId you like them?

 Texas Tech in Vidor, Texas said: Monday night would be great! I hadn't thought out all the specifics as to how this would work, but for starters, we would pick a specific topic and review that information and come up with questions to that topic. If there is anything you don't understand about the topic then you ask your question and everyone will reply. I have currently dissected cerebrovascular. I made my own flashcards, I am studying Davies 3 part and Edleman's review and flashcards. Examples of some comprehensive questions I have are 1.) What test is useful in intraoperative monitoring? 2.) Name some examples of surgical procedures TCD may be used to monitor? 3.) How do you continuously monitor the middle cerebral artery's blood flow? 4.) Using the transtemporal window, you see a vessel at the depth of 50mm this vessel has antegrade flow, with a propaga
 
 
 propagation speed between 43-67 cm/sec, also a terminal branch for the ICA? That is suppose to.be a.depth of 50mm. This repetition helps a lot you will begin to see patterns, it may be more than what you need to know but at least this way you know.enough. Since you have taken the test find an area of weakness and we will begin there and I guarantee you will get a revelation.

 I just took my exam. I read Rumwell,Davies mock exam for vascular and x-zones. At the least, read Rumwell multiple times and do x-zones. I think the x-zones are more like the exam. hope this helps. I wrote on a prior post what i remember from the exam so take a look at that too.

 TRH in Baton Rouge, Louisiana said: I spent a lot of time memorizing numbers, but the test really didn't require that. Other than the depths and mean velocities of the vessels in the circle of willis, most of the questions involved explanations of how the waveforms change with respect to proximal or distal disease, i.e. increased PSV, dampened velocities, etc. My exam had a lot of ultrasound images on it as well.
 
 
 Also, the only materials I studied with were ESP vascular exam review, X-Zone, and ESP flash cards (which I'm willing to sell for half of what I paid).

 ultranewbie in Idaho Falls, Idaho said: go to ARDMS.org, click the link: "prepare for exams" and there will be a link that will say "Exam Outline".. pick out the one you're going to be studying for.
 
 also, Claudia Rumwell emailed me regarding the "SMA" apparently, there was a mistake on the x-zone. it is definitely the SMA.. She, as well as myself wondered why no one picked this up before? I hope folks got it right on their test..
 
 So just in case..
 
 
 Good for you!!
 Loren     
 
 ultranewbie in Idaho Falls, Idaho said: hey guys, i'm doing the x-zone.. there's a pic of splenic vein, the sma, and the left renal vein. even in the Vascular book by Rumwell, there is a color plate of this same pic..
 
 the xzone asks: what is this arrow pointing to.. and their answer is: celiac artery.
 
 where as when you look in the book at the color plate at that very same illustration, they have the arrow pointing at the same anatomy and it says: SMA..
 
 wtf?
 
 
 Thanks goodness that was NOT on the test! Yes, that is confusing. I'll say SMA.
 RVTWannaB     
 
 ultranewbie in Idaho Falls, Idaho said: yeah.. well just my luck, it will be on my test..
 
 i've already emailed the xzone folks.. they emailed me back just asking for a "name".. i didn't know whether they meant me, Claudia Rumwell, or the name of the anatomy..
 
 so, though it's wrong on the x-zone. i'll have to stick with SMA.. why? because the celiac artery is the first one.. the splenic vein isn't above it.
 
 
 You are funny!!!! Well for what it's worth at least you may get this one right!

 ultranewbie in Santa Fe, New Mexico said: I was not allowed to use the calculator. It was definitely allowed for the SPI, but NOT for vascular. There were at least 3 segmental questions on my test, and the Q.A./statistics. I quit my job to study for this because they wouldn't allow me time off to take it. (this was mentioned in one of my earlier posts prior to the exam). I will say a good 4 weeks of very focussed studying should get you through.. More time than that really isn't necessary.
 
 The book by Claudia Rumwell was a very good investment why? Because it's EXACTLY everything she covers in her seminars and THEN some. It's on the Davies Publishing website. She covers stuff in this book that might or might not show up on the test. The x-zone is kind of like a wake-up call for that which isn't covered in the Davies.. Things you'll need to know.
 
 The boards don't seem to "go in-depth" with the pathology.. It's the way that they "word their answers"... It's not "straight forward" and as someone else posted, you're stuck with just choosing the "best answer" out of about 4 options.
 
 Know your anatomy. That is one thing i have emphasize, because they are very "round a bout" on this as well.
 
 
 For the anatomy portion did you have to know how the vessels lie to one another like the left renal vein crosses anterior to the aorta and posterior to the sma?

 I passed my RVT exam. today. I don't think it is a difficult exam if you have read thoroughly. Many questions were branches of arteries and veins. for example which of the following 2 veins make brachiocephalic vein. question about sensitivity specificity etc. Questions on Images(drawnings, ultrasound and few angiograms)for example in a drawing which number indicates middle cerebral art. etc. About one question I am still confused was what is characteristic of hyperemic response 1- increase diastolic vel. 2 decreased systolic/diastolic ratio. One answer was to be choosen.

 dfr110     After being delayed for two months I took the ARDMS RVT registry yesterday and passed on the first attempt. ARDMS has all sorts of rules about discussing anything about the exam so I will not do this. However, I think it would be allowed to comment on the exam and the material I studied. First of all the exam is one of the worst I have ever taken in my life. I would sure like to know who specifically wrote some of the items and what references they were using to write those questions. There were numerous questions on that test that I have never seen anywhere in all my studies. And I studied everything that I could get my hands on. Very frustrating and I can see why people do not pass this. Every ARDMS I have taken has been like this. Unlike ARRT exams. Night and day. My best advice would be cut bait, and take any other exam you can to qualify in your State. Check the most recent requirements in your official Human Resources job description. If it says you can take the ARRT and/or CCI test do so. I have not decided if I want to sell my study material or not. Now if you must take the ARDMS test...good luck. Read the outline they use to have that told you the content area the registry test comes from. And then read OLDER reference material, since that has to be where they get these questions. My earlier posts reference what I studied. I am very relieved to have passed and celebrated but again, see why persons struggle with this.

 anita123 in texas, Texas said: Passed my RVT exam on March 26!!........Its very hard guys but not in the sense of material but more like trick questions. Everything is left with two possible answers and you are left debating which one is the better answer. Here is what I remember from the test. Know your symptoms for lower ext arterial/vascular and how they compare to ABI, know your carotid/vertebral symptoms and how they compare to velocities. Anatomy pictures of PTV, ATV and Per (not ultrasound pictures), know how to calculate ABI. DEF know Sensitivity/Spec/Neg PP/Positive PP/ accuracy!!!, Allen test, Bypass (what material is used, what veins are used for what type of grafts), Stenosis is grafts, Stenosis is Renal Artery, AAA and risk factors, Picture of the butterfly (MCA and ACA), know the depths, SMA after eating before eating, Celiac velocities should not change with/without eating, Which flows are low resistance and high resistance. Analog graphs. Know how a waveform reflects the cardiac cycle, volume ppg, Carotid velocites related to %stenosis and collaterals for intracranial stenosis, few questions on when you have a steady venous flow where is the dx, Ascending and descending venographs, reynolds and that is all I can remember.........but study hard....do the xzones if you can....and when you get a question wrong go look it up read the paragraph/chapter......that way you will cover everything you don't know...that is how i studied after I read Rumwell like 2 times.........its a good way to review what you know and don't know......Good luck!

 Roger     As you call can see from the comments on page 14 of this thread, ESP is threatening to pursue legal action against those of us sharing useful information in our hopefully successful attempts to pass the vascular technologist exams. I, for one, do not know if the user ESP Ultrasound is a legitimate user name or not, however, if it is, I don't want any trouble. Therefore, I will no longer be forwarding the questions I received. I would imagine if anyone is willing to share the cost of the x-zone questions, those interested individuals could access a single account, at a discounted cost. I am simply making a suggestion, not telling anyone what to do. Thanks again to our friend Kent, and I wish you all luck and success on passing this exam.
 rizwan     Attention recent RVT's, Is is true that it is 170 questions for 3 hours (180 min)? If so, did any of you have any extra time to review your answers?
 
 On the last SPI exam that I took, I know that if you mark a question you may go back, that is only if you mark it. What I want to know is am I missing a key where I can actually go back and re-check ALL my answers? That is if I have any time left.
 
 What's everyones experience? How long did it take to answer all the questions, and how much time was left to review your answers? I will be taking my RVT this Thursday.
 Thanks and congrats to all that passed this grueling exam.
 Sheri     ATTN: RVT EXAM TAKERS Lets make this easy, all you have to study is the Davies Vascular Mock CD and 15 days before the RVT test, get ESP's X-Zone. I passed the first time. Study the CD inside and out, take the mock at least 40-50 times. Then the ESP X-Zone, do each section 30-40 times. I passed with flying colors. And you can do it too. I also make my own questions, it is 129 pages in a word document. Self- Made test by me. Preparation is KEY!!!

 nicole     Can anyone pls tell me what the eligibility requirements are to sit for RVT if you are already an RCDS? For example if you have a two year degree through a CAAHEP accredited program, but no clinical Vascular experience, only Cardiac. I've looked through ARDMS site, but still not so sure....

 Thanks!
 Lauren     Can someone help me understand in simple version the false neg and false positive? I am so confused. Sometimes I am right and most of the time I get them mixed up.
 Is there an easier way to divide numbers to get the percent other than long version of division?
 Does the test already have them place in the 2x2 format and calculated for you?
 Thanks! I am taking my test the end of Sept.
 hope     Can someone pls help me, I just graduated from ultrasound school in April 2012. I have not found a job yet; so I have no money.

 anita123     Come on aboard, you are so close, you may just need to hear something another way to get you over the edge, you definitely know something to get that close usually when you are that close, it is usually test anxiety or something very minimal. Would like to study with you when you are ready!
 
 tammys in Plymouth, Michigan said: I would be very interested in an online study group. I am trying to pass the rvt exam. I took it last week and scored 540. I just need to sharpen up a little bit more.
 gemini_breeze     Congradulation Anita !
 can you pls write for me what material did you studied ?
 next week i will take the vascuar exam ?
 Thanks.
rajafodder     Congrats Damian,You have done well.I will buy your stuff. Email me on rajafodder[at]....com with the price and thank you.
 ultranewbie     congratulations on passing your exam! How long did you study for your board and did u feel the zone helped you? I'm plannibg to purchase but wasn't sure since it is expensive. How much time did u put into studying and was the board questions tricky or go in depth with each pathology? And were u allowed to use the calculator for calculations
 
 ultranewbie in Idaho Falls, Idaho said: well, i posted a reply, Tacomna, but because "Indeed.com" is watching, apparently, it won't let me post.
 
 i have to take the exam in a few days. i ran across this in the Rumwell book. and figured, might as well study it. cover all of your bases.
 
 You never know what might pop up on the test. Remember there are several of them.
 
 it wasn't even mentioned in the seminar or in the seminar material.
 rachael     Congratulations Sherry!!! could you give any insights on what to focus on more than others and were there formulas? thank you
 samina     COULD YOU ALSO SEND ME VASCULAR CARDS FOR 25 $ MY E-MAIL IS ITRAT41[at]*.COM
 THANKS
 CZ     CW for venous doppler ? Don't think so.
 
 "Davies says pulsatile flow is abnormal in veins but at page 33 it says the effect of a right heart contraction is readilly tranmitted to upper extremity veins so the pulsatile flow in more prevalent in upper extremities than in lower."
 
 Ok - pulsatility in an UPPER extremity vein is normal, but not in lower. If seen in the lower extremity veins it suggests elevated right heart pressures.
 
 Let's share info and what anyone remembers from the registry tests.
 songwriter     Dear Patti I am in the same boat.I am registered in aAbdomen but every job seems to want at least 1 years experience.Vascular seems to be in demand.I recommend you look into Pegasus ecourse you can go at your own pace a retain more.It is much harder supposedly then the test but I have't taken the vascular yet ,but from what I have heard it is extremely difficult. Arm yourself with whatever will help.
 Steph     Def interested... How much for the Davies books? You cAn email me at stephaniesap[at]*. Com thanks and congrats
 angie     did they cover a lo of ppg and penile on yours?
 
 
 Jenniheart in Flushing, New York said: Hey guys just wanted to let you know I finally passed my RVT today!! I'm so happy. Thanks for all the great advice and suggestions.

A few of my co-workers have said, be sure to know the slices of the extremities and its corresponding artery or veins (anatomy), also know sensitivity and specificity, all relationship between velocity and degree of stenosis (like a velocity of 300 is a <79-99% stenosis), if anyone else knows anything pls post.

 DULCE in Gainesville, Florida said: THE XZONE YOU PURCHASE FOR THE TIME YOU NEED TO PRACTICE THE MOCK QUESTIONS,YOU CAN PRACTICE THOSE OVER & OVER ALL DAY AND NIGHT. WHICH I FEEL IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE RVT EXAM. ONCE YOU HAVE MASTERED THE XZONE AND SCORE OVER A 95% YOU ARE READY TO SIT FOR THE BOARDS, THE FLASHCARDS ARE ALSO VERY HELPFUL AND YOU CAN STUDY AT YOUR OWN PACE, YOU CAN ALSO PURCHASE THOSE ONLINE [at]  HIS WEBSITE.THE DAVIES REVIEW FOR VASCULAR WAS ALSO EXCELLENT.
 dfr110     donya...on a macro level it actually varies from State to State and even within the States, ultimately varies by whomever your fiscal intermediary is. Best way to determine this is to get on the SDMS website. On this website they have a very well-designed method for finding out the answer. Just be sure to follow the steps carefully. This should ultimately help you.

 Texas Tech     Every Ultrasound image I had on my test was extremely vague. They were aweful. I literally had to guess the answer and I know my anatomy but the image quality was just that bad. Shocking. I think any new grad considering sitting for the RVT should seriously consider some clinical experience prior. Just my opinion. Book smarts alone may not be enough. This test has the lowest pass rate and by far was twice as difficult as the ABD OBYGYN and Physics. Even the pre 2007 physics which was twice as hard as the new one.
 twislr     For those of you who have used the x-zone questions, does anyone know if you can access them with an ipad?
 Megs     from x zone learn direction of flow,specificity and sensitivity, spectral pattern if proximal cc occlusion, ic pattern if intracranial ic occlusion,cc pattern if ic occlusion, flow in transcranial vessels,subclavian steal, different appearance of ulcers,velocity and flow pattern at site of stenosis,what is direction if transcranial window and if transorbital acces and what vessel if sub occipital approach
 also very important is normal velocities in graft and diagnosis of graft failure, renal transplant failure, intrarenal vessels resistivity and sensitivity index
 identify renal vein, sma celiac vessels ivc
 also mesenteric colic, effct of inspiration and expiration on both lower and upper extremity flow also diagnosing, superficial veis and deep veins valve problem
 MY POINT IS THERE ARE ABOUT 170 QUESTIONS AND THREE HOURS SO EVERY THING IS EASILY COVERED BY BOARDS
 GOOD LUCK
 PRAY ALLAH FOR EASINES
 tammys     go to ARDMS.org, click the link: "prepare for exams" and there will be a link that will say "Exam Outline".. pick out the one you're going to be studying for.
 
 also, Claudia Rumwell emailed me regarding the "SMA" apparently, there was a mistake on the x-zone. it is definitely the SMA.. She, as well as myself wondered why no one picked this up before? I hope folks got it right on their test..
 
 So just in case..
 laura C     Good Luck on your vascular exam. Edeleman is the best. I take his seminars too. Passed SP&I with his book and X zone. I am taking the OB/GYN soon. Would you be interested in selling your vascular seminar book when your done? I have to take that next and he wont be back in my area until July 2012.
 
 
 J P in Birmingham, Alabama said: Hi, I'm taking the Vascular test in a few days. I've been studying mostly Edelmam's seminar book, as well as the x-zone from his website. Majority of sonographers that I know have said that's all you'll need. I'll let you know how it goes.
 
 Good Luck
 ketu     good question. i studied it twice in Claudia Rumwell's Davies book. If you had attended the seminar, you might have noticed - she never mentioned it. It's not even in our seminar studies.
 
 It's not even mentioned on the x-zone, OR The Davies CD..
 
 Well.. i'm studying it anyway.. i don't want to be one of those folks who tells everyone AFTER the fact, that it's going to come up..
 
 Kind of like that "Displacement Plethysomography" test? the one with the hand in the glove and water chimney? apparently, that was out-dated, but it showed up again on the RVT exam.
 
 I'm taking the test in a couple of days, so i'm covering all the bases on this one..good luck!

 dbaryosef     Has anybody used the ESP x-zone for studying for the vascular technology exam? If yes did you find it helpful? I'm using it now and I find it extremely confusing and hoping that the ARDMS exam does not compare to it... Did you find the Ardms EXAM TO BE EASIER? (oops caps lock). I'm also using the Davies CD and find it a lot more helpful and more descriptive...

 lynn     Hello - I just sat for my technical vascular test today and did not pass. It had a question on QA for accuracy. (TP + TN)/(TP+FP+FN+TN) with none of the multiple choices being correct. It was one of the first question, so after that I was frustrated and confused. They told me to appeal the test.
 anna     Hello all, can anyone tell me if you have to have additional clinical hours for ARDMS's RVT if you are already an RDCS as well as an RCS? Or can you just sit for the exam after study and preparation?

 Robcky     Hello,
 
 I bought the pegasus lectures test CD or DVD. it has 24 practice tests, but to be honest with you, I studied and take some test and I did never passed them. I took my CCI RVS test and I did pass it. So the practice tests in the cd are very hard and very tricky. I suppose they are good for practice, but if you get it, don't worry if you don't pass the practice test. I am a proof that you can still pass the test without passing those ones in the CD.

 Roger     Helloooo this is united state of america; if I buy the x zones I can share it with who ever I want; id I did pass my board I can share my experience with who ever I want ; this is a free country and I dont think ESP wrote this comment; this comment was made by a really bad person that only wants to scared people , when you leave any test exam ypu dont remember any question and every test is different ; there are too many questions ... is impossible to know everything because you dont know in which questions you answer right or wrong... so pls stop playing with people. This is my opinion .good luck to all of you and dont let anyone to tell you what to do.
 JB     Help, Help, Help
 
 I am taking the RVT exam in 2 months, very scared. I had to learn vascular on my own and it is very hard. Anyone pass have any good tips on things that i should focus on the most and good study guides????
 scanner711     Here are my study materials that helped me pass my RVT:
 
 ESP's vascular course. You get a book that covers the exam outline, you get FREE X zone, and you get discount on other materials ESP sells (vascular cards, which I bought). Plus the professors that teach the Vascular course have written books on Vascular (Mcfarlin and Rumwell). They answered additional questions through email that I had.
 
 Introduction to Vascular scanning - Don Ridgeway. Pretty good read.
 
 Pacific Vascular - They offer courses in all aspects of Vascular, I've taken all of them. The Vascular foundation (4 day), Venous Insufficiency (1 day), Transcranial Doppler and imaging (3 days) and Abdominal (3 days). Each day is 4 hours of lecture and 4 hours of hands on.
 
 The Vein book - I was learning more on venous insufficiency as that is become another branch off vascular.
 
 Wes Todd's Cardiovascular science book Vol 1. Believe or not, that first book has a wide variety of great material for echo, cath, vascular, and ep. Truly a great resource.
 
 Vascular ultrasound: how why and where. It also comes with a dvd with a few clips.
 
 Of course - my internship, where I learned to scan arterial and venous and use the machines to maximize the study.
 Mahsa     Hey are you selling your ESP for ob/gyn I would like to purchase it.. thanks
 angie     Hey guys just wanted to let you know I finally passed my RVT today!! I'm so happy. Thanks for all the great advice and suggestions. I really recommend the x zone questions I did those non stop and really reviewed sensitivity specificity and all those. Good luck to anyone taking the test, it's a difficult one but do worth it when you pass!!
 ultranewbie     hey guys, i'm doing the x-zone.. there's a pic of splenic vein, the sma, and the left renal vein. even in the Vascular book by Rumwell, there is a color plate of this same pic..
 
 the xzone asks: what is this arrow pointing to.. and their answer is: celiac artery.
 
 where as when you look in the book at the color plate at that very same illustration, they have the arrow pointing at the same anatomy and it says: SMA..
 
 wtf?
 ali     Hey I am doing the x-zones and wanted to know if any of the question are on the exam. I was told that many of the questions are from the test itself, similar at least. I have read the Rumwell, I did the Davies mock questions and now got the x-zones for 5 days....I don't know what more to do.....I still get quite a few wrong, but those questions are related to clinical stuff....is there a lot of questions like that on the exam?
 Texas Tech     Hey it's Monday night where is everyone for the online study group??
 fazallove[at] *****.***     Hey Kent, sorry for your workload
 songwriter     Hey Russell I live on Long Island have most study materials would be interested also have Skype another way to study. my email is bouche[at] optonline.net
 Laura     Hey Texas Tech in Vidor- Interested in your study materials, what is your email?
 Texas Tech     Hey were you able to open up the notes that sent labeled aortic arch? I just came in from church and I had an email from Tammy. She was not able too. I also sent it to my* mail address and I opened it up just fine. I don't know why it isn't working. Let me know if you were able to open it and if not maybe we will open up a group on Facebook and that way when van post and have real time interaction. My notes consisted of questions along with the answers. I will post it on here tonight just to see if you all like the format or would you rather just have questions. I personally like it this way and later apply it to questions. Either way we will cover all of the material and be able to apply it in a technical setting. It is a process and it will work. As I have observed from the various comments you will not know what test you will get, so it doesn't matter what someone else's test had on it. Stick to the outline and cover ALL of the material so you are prepared for ANY test. One thing that holds true is the information cannot change."It is what it is"! If you start off learning the basics as you progress the material comes up again adding more information.
 
 gemini_breeze in Rutherford, New Jersey said: I would be Texas! Online study group sounds great! I'm taking my RVS first next month, then pending passing that, I am taking the RVT. Already passed the SPI last month. What's your email? Email me jenilozauskas[at]*.com
 edunn     Hey yall,
  Taking RVT in November. Just curious, those of you who have already passed, how long did you study for before you took the test?
ameea06ameea     Hey you two. I have all the study materials and I never thought of skype. If that would work, I would love to have a study group. I cant seem to pass the rvt, I have taken it five times and need a study group.
 mahsa     Hey, does anyone have any type of suggestions of what would be some good material to study for the RVT exam. i am totally confused on what would be good material. Should I purchase Xzone,mock exams, and also what type materials to study. I have The Vascular Tech book (Davies 2nd edition), and the ESP Vascular Tech book as well, which are basically the same book cause both are written by the same authors. This will be the third time around for me and I really could use any and all suggestions. Also what is a good study time factor. In the pass I study for at least 2 mths in advance, which probably wasnt a good idea being that material could be forgotten. i know that whats in the book is totally different from the actual test. BE HELP ME WITH SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!!!
 Loren     Hey, I will be taking my vascular technology exam for the 7th time next month. I've tried everything, seminars, mock registry cds. I'm so frustrated and disappointed with myself. If anyone was any tips or notes I would be so appreciative. pls email me with any suggestions. Thanks

 Abid in Markham, Ontario said: I passed my RVT exam. today. I don't think it is a difficult exam if you have read thoroughly. Many questions were branches of arteries and veins. for example which of the following 2 veins make brachiocephalic vein. question about sensitivity specificity etc. Questions on Images(drawnings, ultrasound and few angiograms)for example in a drawing which number indicates middle cerebral art. etc. About one question I am still confused was what is characteristic of hyperemic response 1- increase diastolic vel. 2 decreased systolic/diastolic ratio. One answer was to be choosen.

 Dbaryosef     Hi all, has anyone just studied the Davies CD for the RVT exam and passed? I'm debating whether to get a 5 day xzone as well.. everything is just costing so much money :/.. I've been using the CD for a few weeks now and have been passing with 75-79. How similar is the info on the CD with the actual ARDMS exam. I passed my OB last year doing mock exams but I can honestly say that the ARDMS exam was soo much harder. Any feedback would help :). Thanks

 oarmine     Hi.I am looking for a tutor who can help me to pass my vascular exam. I just can't do it on my own. Or, if you are in NYC area and want to study together, pls contact me. If you know a tutor in NYC area, let me know. Thank you
 ninid     Holly leave your email on here and I will send you some notes. If you feel you were adequately prepared and you still didn't pass, I would recommend you purchasing X-Zone for the next 6 weeks and go back in 60 days and retake your test. The x zone will help you understand how they expect you to answer the questions. Sometimes the will nor have the correct answer but then you will choose the one that is closest to the correct answer. They call this the best answer. Di not get discouraged, try contacting people who have actually passed the test. You passing or failing should not come down to one question. Concentrate when preparing for the exam on the MEAT and POTATOES. Venous 25-35%, Cerebrovascular 25-25% and Arterial 20-30%. You only have to answer 65-75% correct to pass the test. Some questions on the test will not even count AGAINST you! Answer the easy questions first and mark the ones you feel are hard, I know you noticed that most of the questions were asked many times just in different ways. A lot of times this will answer the questions you have marked. Don't give up study daily just like meditating scriptures from the bible and you will begin to see the patterns. The principles don't change. If toy want someone to help you study leave your email and we will exchange information and I will help you get through the material and PASS.
 sasi     how can i pass RVT exam ? is there anyone can help me ?
 nadejbp     I am ARDMS registered ultrasonographer in OBGY and abdomen. I want to give ARDMS vascular sonography exam,can any RVT sign up mine CV form to sit in this exam.I willreaaly appreciate their help.
 thanks
 miller7jm     I am going to take my test on March 10 for the fifth and hopefully final time. I have studied everything but the one thing that has really helped me this time is the pegasus cd-rom. It is very hard. There is three levels but the percentage of people passing once they have mastered all three levels is 96%. I have learned so much on this. I have been studying since The beginning of January. I feel so well prepared now. And also very confident of passing. If you go on the website you can buy it there. It is over 100 dollars but if you can pass it it is so worth it. Good luck and hopefully you can pass this next time too.

 zohra     I am so sorry, I feel your pain. I am getting ready to take it for the fifth time!!!! I took the advice of the doctor that I work for. He told me to copy the questions and answers and just keep studying until I feel confident enough to take a practice test. I have the pegasus cd rom (which is very hard). There is three exams and you cant go on until you master each level. I found a way to copy the exam reviews and I just took the first level last night and scored 165 out of 170. I have never scored that high before. So have some faith, hopefully we can both pass the next time we take it.
 mahsa     I am sorry to hear that. I just did the same. Fifth time for me. vascular is the hardest. I have investigated and it is only 69% pass rate. I am so lucky I have a boss that is so understanding. I am going to try again in 2 months because I only missed by 5 points. I will do one of these times. I do agree that the image questions were very hard, not clear at all.
 Keep in contact maybe we will both do it next time.
 Tammy in michigan
 Leslie     I am studying for the RVT exam also and I couldn't agree with you more. The books I have are even by the same authors and they contradict one another!!
 tammys     I am studying from Todds cardiovascular review book and I am finding it very informative. I am going to take the CCI exam so I can be an RVS. I have given up on the RVT. After taking it 6 times, I just cannot take the disappointment anymore. THe CCI exam has a 57% pass rate where the RVT has a 35% pass rate. I know what I am doing at my job and the doctors that I work for are very happy with my work but in order for me to stay employed in 2014, I must be registered. SO I think this is the better way to go for me.
 Jess     I am studying to take the ARDMS Breast exam. Im looking for the ESP Breast book, and/or davies note cards. Anyone looking to sell/share?
 Leighanne     I am taking the ardms vascular exam in April. Does anyone have any mock CD's they would like to sell?
 Daph     I am taking the vascular tech exam in a few days and have studies the davies Cd and did good on those questions but now I'm doing the Xzone and its really aggrevating and confusing! Is the ARDMS exam more similiar to Xzone or Davies? I'm freaking out, as I really want to pass this exam...
 JCH     I am with you. I feel your pain. I am getting ready to take the exam for the fifth time. Listen to the previous person. I am studying pegasus and x-zone flash cards. I am learning so much more than with davies. That is what I studied the first three times and got nowhere. I then studied the golfcoast ultrasound book and cd's and got a lot of info from that but I got involved with pegasus and x-zone and that has really helped. I would like to get together with someone to have a study group but I havent had any luck, let me know if you are in michigan and youa re interested. Thanks Tammy S.
 Anna     I can share free with a echo.
 Maybe someone will be able to share abdomen or rvt. Thank you.

 tammys     i have failed the rvt exam 5 times I'm taking the test again on Friday. I have been to numerous seminars, ordered and read more books then I know what to do with, and I take the practice tests on the ARDMS website. Every time I take the 30 question test I pass. I'm so unbelievably frustrated, I don't know what else to do. I don't want to give up but this whole thing makes me so upset.I've spent so much money on the tests, and review material. I'm so envious of everyone that passed. It's very impressive!
 emb     I have found a number of discrepancies in the various review books out on the market. It is frustrating to study one thing in one book, then the next totally contradicts what I previously read! I am taking the exam tomorrow.....

I've taken it 3 times now and don't know if I can do it again. This forum has been great for pointers. Thanks for all the advice. Good luck to everyone that is taking it. Super hard.
 ultranewbie     i know i must sound like some kind of neurotic, but i gave up everything for this exam. I was denied time off for the SPI, which i barely got 1 week off to take - and luckily, i passed it..
 
 my new supervisor started showing her true colors 2 weeks after she was hired, and decided to deny my time off for the RVT. if i don't take it now, i'll lose all of my pre-reqs.
 
 After her bullying tactics, verbal and close to physical abuse and smear campaigning, i decided to resign and just get this over with.. i'm pretty young in the field of U/S.. but i'm also very smart.. The SPI was no joke.. and i know this RVT isn't going to be a walk in the park either..
 
 so i'll take every point i can get!!!LOL!
jasonslovin     i know there are 150 questions to be answered in 3 hours. What is the passing score out of? The SPI was 555 out of 700.
 tammys     I need a Pegasus VIP code. I'm wanting to purchase the cd, but it's like 165 without the code and 98 with. If anyone has a code or has a cd or vascular booklet they would like to sell, pls let me know. I would really appreciate it. My email is jhall_43[at]*.com

 dfr110     I passed the RVT registry recently... the first time. Since passing, I also have written questions for the ARDMS registries. I will not reveal/hint at/ anything that will break my ethics. However, I will be willing to sell to those who may be interested, the material/notes that I used to study, before passing the exam the first time. Inquire at: dfr110[at]....com.

 Thanks a lot!
 Russell     I studied ESP book and did the X-Zone, also used Davies technology.
 dabogs7     I studied Vascular Technology: An Illustrated Review, by Rumwell, 4th Edition and passed the first time with a 628 but I put alot of studying time in!! Be sure to know the cerebrovascular arteries and what is normal flow for each vessel. Know your anatomy for sure. There were several angio pictures and understand specificity and sensitivity because I think there were at least 5 questions on it. Mostly everything on my exam was in this book but the registry was very hard.
 mac     I think image related questions were sooo subjective and they were not clear...
 Pilates     I took a RVT CCI examen yestarday and I faliled. The examen was not hard but i didnt not study enough , if you study you Will pass it . They ask you a little bit Of everything.. Planning to take it again in 60 days!
 tammys     I took and passes the SPI and OB/GYN exam the second time around!! I have Davis Mock exam, unlimited X zone questions and answers, and Edlemens last edition text book from his conference. Let me know if you are interested. And OB/GYN great material, flashcards, Davies mock questions and answers that i saw the same questions in my test, and seminar review book!!!
bogi     I took SPI and passed, now studying for RVT. I need some information, I am studying Davis vascular technology review 4th edition and the mock cd by Davis. Is that enough to study? Does anyone know what else to study?
 Lynette     I used Davies Publishing 3 part study system. It's a review book, a mock exam CD and a set of 400+ flash cards (spiral bound). I sold the review book, but still have the other two if you are interested. They are both 2008 editions (latest). I passed the RVT on my first try with these. Email me at lynettelk at* dot com
 tammys     I want to buy any materials for RVT exam.
 annalesiakmitera[at]*.com
 chyleggett     I was curious..I have the pegasus books and davies OB book. Will that be enough to pass the test? What is your opinon of Davies vs. Pegasus? Thanks!
 Gina     I was wondering if you can share your Davies Vascular Mock Exam 650 questions, with me? I have the book, I just need the mock questions to go with it.
 
 Thankyou
 dfr110     I will be taking the RVT ARDMS registry in 1/2015 in the Seattle area. Have been diligently studying for this test,, taking all suggested material to heart...DAVIES and ESP. Recently have been studying the relatively new Vascular Book by Ann Marie Kupinski, titled "A Guide to the Vascular System" and some of you may want to consider this. Similar to the registry reviews for OB and Abdomen by Penney which I loved and the online material is top notch. Happens to be published by the same firm - LWW. covers the material in a logical order and although not as detailed as the Pellerito/Polak book it is very straight forward with some great summary tables, etc. Great online suggestions for further study. Let me know if any of you have been using this to study and your opinions. Thanks!
 lecia     I will really like to buy the 47 pages outline asap. i already have the CD, but i will be taking the test the first part of april. pls email me at olecia.williams[at]*.com
 Annover     I will sell the cards for $25. I just bought them in Dallas on May 1, 2011.
 Jamie     I wish I had read these comments before I ordered books. Does the cd and the workbook from Davis helpful?

 tammys     I'm confused, how are you actually corresponding? Because I bipped in and out of this site periodically throught out Monday night and no one said anything about the study group, aside from my "where is everyone it's monday night" post? No one showed up here aside from me. Unless you two are using another site? What are you two using?
 gemini_breeze     I'm confused, there are no correspondences here and I bipped on and off this site perodically all Monday night. The only post about the study group was me saying it's Monday where is everyone. Did you two use another site?

 rachael     is there anything that is not on the vascular registry? i plan on taking it in march.
 Nancy     Its hard for male techs to find a job due to a simple logic: An organization rather hire one person to do Gyn scans as well as Testicles which is ok by males. Than to hire a Male tech who will only do Testies and most female prefer female to do a Gyn exam.
 
 I don't care what you have heard at your place but this is the moral of the story and 8 out of 10 female patients prefer female over male techs to do their scans.
 passvasc     I've created a free android app that's been helping me study for the registry. I've also been reading lots of books. I think a little bit of everything approach is the way to go! play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wPassVasc

 Lynette     jmunoz, i will let you know. i am waiting to hear from one person if she is going to buy them or not.
 KP     Just finished my SPI,,not sure of what modality to take,,I am thinking of RVT, what is anyones opinion on it? Are they all going to be hard and challenging, or is RVT a good one to start with?
 Thank you for your opinions!!
 trueblue     just finished the RVT exam.. it's to say the least, a "ball buster"... i will say this, there was NOTHING on my exam pertaining to:
 
 Penile plethysmography
 Opthmalic Pleth.
 Strain Guage Pleth
 displacement pleth
 Air pleth
 No angio illus., or many Color Doppler illus. etc.(hardly any images)
 know your anatomy
 
 Nothing regarding Raynauds
 
 quite a bit on Venous,, TCD and Carotid, QA (Sensitivity/specificity, etc.)
 and peripheral with a few question on visceral (abdomen)..
 
 170 questions.. i was able to answer within an hour, which will give you plenty of time to go back over your answers.
 
 You cannot take this test through memorization.. the questions are all indirect..
 
 i made a good score, BUT, it was not easy.. a good solid month should get a "pass" if you need it.. but an extra week or so, would be very helpful to fine tune what you know.
 JH101     Just passed my SPI exam yesterday and now Im looking into taking my RVT exam, any info that anyone used would be awesome. Also I found a tutor for my SPI and was wondering if there are any RVT tutors in the NY OR NJ area. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

 tri     'just passed the RVT . have several great review materials for sale (davies cd-rom, esp vasc. tech book & x-zone cd) email me: dabogs[at]*.com
 Lys     Just want to say thank you to this blog! I passed my RVT today! Not easy but based upon everyone's opinion and suggestions on what to study, wow, they were all true! I finished my test with 1 hour 42 minutes left! Thank goodness for that because I was able to go back 2x until I finally told myself, with 30 minutes left, to quit! It is not an easy test, not memorizing kind of stuff. You need to know what happens to what and where and how it affects the flow for any obstruction, stenosis, and half way in between. You must be well versed in your anatomy from the foot up to your circle of willis! The text that helped me the most with concept is X-Zone, Davis CD, and Pegasus mini book that we had a seminar on. With that and being able to understand the whereabouts of arterial and venous and their connections, you should be able to pass. I am elated and humble that I passed this thing first time, considering that we only do venous for DVT! All the studying was so beyond what I knew. Thanks to all the input of what to expect on this test! It is not easy for very limited techs like me. But for now, I get to keep my job (that was the stakes - Tenet made us sign that if we don't get RVT license, we're FIRED!!) Thanks to Tarel from Texas and Davogs. Yup, you are right. Do not take this test lightly, even if you are already doing the work. You still need to study! Take care and good luck to all !!!I am soooooo Happpyyyyyyy! Celebrating tonight with my husband at the ritzy spot in the OC! Woohoo!!!

princess080203     Let me know when, evenings are good for me. I have to set up my computer with skype. I am working until 4:30 and by the time I get home and have dinner, after 6 would work for me. I am very anxious to pass. I took the spi and passed the first time but I had that class. I took general ultrasound not vascular so that is my crutch. you can email me at stewarts2004[at] comcast.net with the details. Thanks a bunch!!!!
 laura C     Let's make this forum little more useful by starting discussions.
 I don't like davies book much because of some mistakes and confusions. for example potential energy told to be the same as prssure energy and question 4 (PSV 125 and EDV 120) and question 5 at the end of section 1 are quite confusing. There is no mention of venous reflux and it's duration in venous section. Note I am talking about national certification examination review.
 Anyhow my question is do we use PW or CW for venous doppler, Davies says it is CW but we use CW to investige highest velocity along the path of sound beam, if we want to know velocity at a certain point for example artery of vein, we use PW.
 On page 27 Davies says pulsatile flow is abnormal in veins but at page 33 it says the effect of a right heart contraction is readilly tranmitted to upper extremity veins so the pulsatile flow in more prevalent in upper extremities than in lower. thanks for the answers and the help.

 Zohra Airington     Lynette in Spokane, Washington said: Hi Katie,
  I took and passed the ARDMS RVT exam this past Sat. I used the 3 part set from Davies publishing (review book, CD mock exam and bound note cards). I studied for 1 month and outlined the entire review book (47 typed pages!). I also took the practice exam on the ARDMS website for $25 (30 questions in 30 minutes).
 
 Good luck!
 Hey I am studying for my RVT at this time.. is there any way I can get the typed pages?? I have the Davies book and studying almost everyday... let me know pls... thank you much.. my email is kashish0316[at]*.com

 Do you think I could peek at your notes also? I have studied the Davies review cd, review book, and bound note cards. I have also read a couple other books too. But, I want to make sure i'm a 100% ready. I have taken it before and didn't pass. I've been close but close doesn't get the passing score. Let me know. Thanks!

 dabogs7     My test had many questions on the definition of each term. Only one question with the 2 x 2 box to calculate the answer. So know the definitions and the formulas to calculate the answers.
 lynn     My test is still in appeals. I have called them they said it was an experimental question! that they put on the test. I studies alot too. and I had alot of confidence as well going in to take the test. I read the davies and cd mock test hundreds of times as well as years on clinical experience. Most people I have talk to said they had to take the muliple times. The ARDMS web site states that < 50% pass the first time and only approx 50 pass the second. I am not sure what I am going to do. If I win great. I thought the test was in poor quality not of the EXCELLENT standards and I heard that Mr Eldeman makes the questions he is our peer I quess. I am still going to keep readings and learning new things because I love my field of work. Just not sure about the ARDMS is all.
 Hope     Need to take RVT exam to become certified but don't have studying material. I have no money at all. I went to a school full time, and i haven't been able to find work in my field. I am desperate for a job. I am a single parent with a 14 year old who i i would like to send to college some day. If some one could pls find it in their heart to help me out and email me information regarding RVT certification. Any material that will help me study would be appreciated.
 gemini_breeze     Nikki emailed me with her phone number and we talked and decided that we would start corresponding with questions to eachother in a word document and email it.

I do not have my books with me today but I can talk you through the skype and we can study on that, it is very easy.

 oarmine     Not yet but I am studying for it.
 twislr     now, this may seem weird.. but it also came up in Claudia Rumwell's seminar. She stated that the Right renal artery location came up on the test.
 
 I know that it passes POSTERIOR to the IVC then lateral..
 
 but according to her and the RIDGEWAY anatomy book it is ANTERO-LATERAL. i came up to her and re-confirmed it. and she said she knows this.. but on the test it was ANTERO-LATERAL. quite a few folks freaked out over it.. but she said that's what's on the test..
 
 It DEFINITELY came up on my test.. so i took ANTERO-LATERAL. the other options were distractors. i don't remember seeing a POSTERO-LATERAL option.
 mac     Of course you are free too appeal ARDMS about your score. However, just be AWARE that passing score is 555 of 700(not 550). So, what reason you would appeal them???
 bdandron     oh, that was weird..the x-zone website went down for about 12 hours starting last night 10/13, at around 8:00 p.m. So if anyone was having a problem accessing it, it's back up and running..
 
 i called them this morning, and they were really busy trying to answer those panic-stricken phone calls. (mine included)..LOL!!!
 A     Omc in Mckinney Tx out of the three questions you asked the only one I have came across is the importance of the room environment. Cold temperature, stress, smoking, all cause the arteries to vasoconstrict. Think on the line of what happens with vasospasms . Remembering that the test is tech dependent, if you don't allow the patient to regulate to normal temperatures you exam is already starting off as a false positive.
 
 ocm in Mckinney, Texas said: i have a very simple questions my study group and i or going back and forth with , when can a tech interpret a report ? what is the reasoning to keep a pt family comfortable before an exam ? why is the room environment important for the pt?
 Helpneeded     on the RVT exam, is there a lot of stuff on the plethysmography stuff....and all the different types of machines besides regular ultrasound duplex studies. I am reading Rumwell, and there is so many chapters and repeat stuff on these equipment, which we hardly use it seems. I don't want to waste my time on things that are not going to be on the test much. its boring too...lol........so does anyone know if that stuff is realllllllyy that important???
 val     oops lynn7099[at]*.com
 Illona     PASSED my RTV today!!!! HHHHOOORRRAAAAYYYYY!!!!
timurbats     Passed my RVT exam on March 26!!........Its very hard guys but not in the sense of material but more like trick questions. Everything is left with two possible answers and you are left debating which one is the better answer. Here is what I remember from the test. Know your symptoms for lower ext arterial/vascular and how they compare to ABI, know your carotid/vertebral symptoms and how they compare to velocities. Anatomy pictures of PTV, ATV and Per (not ultrasound pictures), know how to calculate ABI. DEF know Sensitivity/Spec/Neg PP/Positive PP/ accuracy!!!, Allen test, Bypass (what material is used, what veins are used for what type of grafts), Stenosis is grafts, Stenosis is Renal Artery, AAA and risk factors, Picture of the butterfly (MCA and ACA), know the depths, SMA after eating before eating, Celiac velocities should not change with/without eating, Which flows are low resistance and high resistance. Analog graphs. Know how a waveform reflects the cardiac cycle, volume ppg, Carotid velocites related to %stenosis and collaterals for intracranial stenosis, few questions on when you have a steady venous flow where is the dx, Ascending and descending venographs, reynolds and that is all I can remember.........but study hard....do the xzones if you can....and when you get a question wrong go look it up read the paragraph/chapter......that way you will cover everything you don't know...that is how i studied after I read Rumwell like 2 times.........its a good way to review what you know and don't know......Good luck!
 coolie     Passed my RVT last Saturday feels great OMG. If you have done a Vascular program all you need is the Davies CD, but if you did Echo with very little vascular like I did, you will need the book as well the CD. If you have a working background knowledge of vascular its easy to think the CD is all you need because its second nature to you, good thing I went with more than just the CD especially when it comes to anatomy. I think I will keep my CD to use for CME credits later.
 songwriter     Pegasus makes a CD with questions.... has anyone used this? I have the Davies cd already, but I'm wondering if the pegasus cd has more information related to the test? I'm getting ready to purchase, but I'll hold off until tomorrow. People say to get the vascular booklet, but I can't find that on their website to purchase.

I failed once last yr and haven't studied since then so I have to start over... I just studied on ESP book and it wasn't enough at all. Btw do I need to study on both materials mentioned above (Davies CD and Review Q&A)? Or I should take CD and not take Review one....or vice versa.... I know it'll be better study on lots of different books but I want to save $$ as much as possible. pls help me out this!! Thanks!!! gomokego[at] atlanticbb.net
 katiet     pls try to be relaxed when you take the test. I have taken the rvt test 4 times and have yet to pass. I feel your pain. The last test score was 540. It is very frustrating I know first hand but my nerves get the best of me everytime. Think of passing that exam and how good you are going to feel and how smart you are going to be because you had to study just that much harder than everyone else. Chin up and good luck. pls let me know how you do.

 MK     Run better run, outrun this profession! NO JOKE

If anyone of you can just maybe send me questions or anything you can remember from the test will be helpful. I am studying from Davies and Rumwell, everything else I have doesn't make sense or is way too detailed. pls HELP!!! EMail me taral83[at]....com
 Vera     Sorry about the inconvenience, I just added you both to a shared file that should allow you access to the file. I posted in this forum an outline on the aortic arch. Which consisted is questions and answers to outline material I had been studying on the cerebrovascular system. I copied and pasted it from the Google doc so I hope it calibrated correctly. If not you should have full access to the document now via you email addresses since I added you both to the shared file list. It is approximately one and one-third typed pages. I am now organizing more information in the same format that will be available sometime today. Later I will provide you with questions that will cover all of this information. This will give you the opportunity to see how you apply this information. I am also in the process of scanning in some diagrams that I used to label to learn the anatomy. pls be patient as I am computer illiterate but I am learning. As we go over the cerebrovascular system also study waveforms. It seems like a lot but it is mostly repetitive. Next the venous system. Share all the information you can this is how we will be successful
 Pilates     Sorry for My spelling* keyboard Lol , you all know what i Mean anyways ..
 
 Wish u all The BEST and i am so nervious for My board , almost there ... Wish My luck and pls share Your notes With me pls pls yanetberon[at]....com

 Helpneeded     Sorry I didn't mention..........I am sitting for the RVT and SPI exams...........help needed.......I will be thankful for any information possible...........
 Syncope     Sorry keeping my books for cme's
 Rascal RVT     Sorry to hear. What are you studying? What is the hardest part for you in the exam?
 sonographer     Taking the RVT exam in January. Does anyone recommend any other material besides Davies and x-zone? What about the SDMS NCER book? Anyone have this or would recommend it? Looking for more study material if anyone has anything out there! Thanks!
 patty     Tammy
 u r very ahead of me. I am just starting vascular study. Will it be okay to do combined study. Will be be able to help me.
 tammys     Tammy don't give up, you are so CLOSE, it has to be the way you are applying the material. Do you realize that a passing score is only is only .792 and you scored .771. You definitely know the material. You may be over reading and getting tripped up on wording. Just calm down you can do it! Look at it this way, I have probably seen all of the test that they have and that is GREAT. Whatever your next test is, you have probably seen it. Now more worries for you! Leave an email and I will email you what I am studying. Anita who passed her exam on March 26 has a post on here of things to familiarize yourself with. She also emailed me that same list and gave me some great information on what to know as for as if you have a velocity that is THIS high, then what % is the stenosis? If you have a waveform where is the lesion? If appears it is designed to make you apply the principals, it is obvious you know it. Stay encouraged, leave your email, and I will email you and leave you my number and we van try to help you get a pattern down to get this test passed.
 bones0187     Tammy, Is there a special way to copy that stuff? I'm planning on purchasing the Pegasus cd. I think I'm going to attempt this vascular beast one more time. My email is jhall_43[at]*.com. Do you care to email me to let me know how you did that with the pegasus cd? I would so appreciate it.

 kim     Texas tech...thanks, your comment was a big help to me. congrats!!
 Damian RCS RVS     Thank goodness that's over! Passed today with a 812, everything I studied was on the test. The Todd's cardiovascular review book (I have an old copy) was word for word off of it.the Davies vascular technology flash cards I was amazed how many questions came from there also.wow God is good!!!
 Ima sell all my study material super cheap,I mean super cheap cuz I'm not gonna be using them anymore,they just gonna take space. First person to hit me up gets it.
 jaimilee444     Thank you anita for all the time it must've taken to remember all of that material and sharing it with us! I'm studying for my egregious to air it soon, and that information defiantly helps. Thank you
 tammys     Thank you for responding so quickly. What did you find most useful?
 gemini_breeze     Thank you for your encouragement. I would appreciate any help you could give me. My email is stewarts2004[at] comcast.net. I check it daily numerous times so I look forward to hearing from you.
 Thank you
 Tammy
 alex     thank you so much, Loren for your post..i'm 6 weeks out from the RVT. i've been exposed to a lot more than just dvt's, and decided to take this exam. i went to the seminar, and they whiz-banged through the material so darn fast, it made my head spin. but i stuck to it, and took my notes.
 
 Just finished Claudia Rumwell's davies published book. Every thing she went through in the seminar is in it, and broken down a lot better. i have a Davies download CD, plus doing my own flash cards. (easier access to formulas).
 
 Loren, you and everyone in this discussion is an inspiration. i will see this through. You wouldn't believe the story behind me taking the test. but it will be an even better one, once i pass this exam.
 
 I've already proven myself by passing the SPI, which was no easy task.. so back to the books and the flashcards. congrats to all of you have passed.. and good luck for those are like me - getting prepared.
 JCH     Thanks
 dabogs7     the copy of the esp vascular tech book is no longer available for sale since it violates copyrights...sorry for the misunderstanding.
 RVTultrasound     the copy of the esp vascular tech book is no longer for sale since it violates copyrights...sorry for the misunderstanding.
 Lynette     The items are from Davies Publishing. First is a 322 pg review text, then is a mock exam CD with 650 questions, and third is a bound set of 412 flashcards. You can also apply for CME from the review book (12 hrs), and the flashcards (7.5 hrs). I paid $60 for the review text, $49 for the cards, and $78 for the mock CD. I will sell all 3 to you for $150, which will include media mail shipping and paypal fees, plus I will also email you the 47 page Word .doc outline of the review text that I wrote as I studied. No highlighting, no marks or anything in the book or on the flashcards.
 
 I will send out in the mail tomorrow. Just paypal my email address lynettelk at* dot com. Change the 'at' and 'dot' to the symbols. I wrote my email like that to avoid spammers.
 Loren     The RVT exam is not hard!!!! Just passed today!!!! I used a combination of Edleman and Davies. The same combination I used for the SPI. My advise to anyone who is serious about passing is to concentrate on the core of the outline, Cerebrovascular, Peripheral Arterial, and Venous. Quality Assurance was the 4x4 chart and that was an easy way to rack up extra points. Everything that is on the outline is one the test, even if they only ask one question about a particular subject. I do not recall a single question on the vascular of the penis. Sma, before and after eating, celiac, before and after eating. Lots of TCD questions in reference to the transtemporal window as far as depth and direction of flow, the answer to most of the ones I had was the MCA. Questions about TCD and subaranchoid hemorrhage and vasospasm. Venous flow patterns for fluid overload and right side heart failure. If there is a continuous waveform with venous doppler, where is the stenosis? Questions were very repetitive. Anatomy was also an easy way to rack up points. Know which vessels form what and where they terminate. If you study, and understand the concepts of xzone and practice the mock exams from Davies, you will pass, the first time. Also know where the peroneals, posterior tibials, anterior tibials are located on a picture that is not ultrasound.
 sonographer     The Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS) has a series of national certification examination review books, one for each specialty examination that are written for preparation of the exams. There are questions at the end of each module.
 seattle     THE XZONE YOU PURCHASE FOR THE TIME YOU NEED TO PRACTICE THE MOCK QUESTIONS,YOU CAN PRACTICE THOSE OVER & OVER ALL DAY AND NIGHT. WHICH I FEEL IS VERY MUCH LIKE THE RVT EXAM. ONCE YOU HAVE MASTERED THE XZONE AND SCORE OVER A 95% YOU ARE READY TO SIT FOR THE BOARDS, THE FLASHCARDS ARE ALSO VERY HELPFUL AND YOU CAN STUDY AT YOUR OWN PACE, YOU CAN ALSO PURCHASE THOSE ONLINE [at]  HIS WEBSITE.THE DAVIES REVIEW FOR VASCULAR WAS ALSO EXCELLENT.
 samina     This message is for everyone who thinks I have the x-zone notes I have not received them!
 ultranewbie     this was for ardms rvt. Claudia Rumwell book.
 tryntopassthevasc     this was from Claudia Rumwell's book.. and indeed.com won't post my comment again..
 lauren     u want to sell davis(rvt) book?email me astroreiki[at]....com
 gemini_breeze     ugh double post sorry about that. Didn't show up the first time.
 monika     Unless you will be employed by a company where you could get one year of clinical training, you will need a cerfificate of vascular technologist. ARDMS will not allow you to take tests without a proof of Bachelor's degree in any subject, one year clinical and ultrasound physics class or seminar.
 kadir     use davies the most and then reinforce u concept from x zone,for sure x zone makes u feel low so stick to davies,specially its image questions ,but keep reading regularly x zones so end of day u have clear concept about everything question pattern is more like davies so dont let x zone depress u as x zone information by reading again and again is help u pass the exam
 cat     Vascular part is hardest part.I am failed again :((
 lmcharney     Vera,

 Rachael     was there alot of questions on PPG?
 jen     Was wondering if anyone had or remembered any of the questions or what type of images to study for the vascular technology test!! I am getting very stressed! Thanks
 ultranewbie     wat cvt book are you using for study cci cvt?
 
 
 ultranewbie in Idaho Falls, Idaho said: just finished the RVT exam.. it's to say the least, a "ball buster"... i will say this, there was NOTHING on my exam pertaining to:
 
 Penile plethysmography
 Opthmalic Pleth.
 Strain Guage Pleth
 displacement pleth
 Air pleth
 No angio illus., or many Color Doppler illus. etc.(hardly any images)
 know your anatomy
 
 Nothing regarding Raynauds
 
 quite a bit on Venous,, TCD and Carotid, QA (Sensitivity/specificity, etc.)
 and peripheral with a few question on visceral (abdomen)..
 
 170 questions.. i was able to answer within an hour, which will give you plenty of time to go back over your answers.
 
 You cannot take this test through memorization.. the questions are all indirect..
 
 i made a good score, BUT, it was not easy.. a good solid month should get a "pass" if you need it.. but an extra week or so, would be very helpful to fine tune what you know.
 ultranewbie     well, i posted a reply, Tacomna, but because "Indeed.com" is watching, apparently, it won't let me post.
 
 i have to take the exam in a few days. i ran across this in the Rumwell book. and figured, might as well study it. cover all of your bases.
 
 You never know what might pop up on the test. Remember there are several of them.
 
 it wasn't even mentioned in the seminar or in the seminar material.
 mac     what are you studying? Information-wise for the exam. What materials are you using?
 Texas Tech     What ever topic you need to study is what we can help eachother with. Just let us know and we can create some questions.
 mahsa     What helped me was the Davies cd. There are 500 questions and answers. It is similar to the test. If you can get about 80% of the questions right, you can pass the test.
 Good Luck!~
 jkelli275     What items did you use?
 mahsa     what items did you use?
 bb     What items did you use?
 Chie     What items did you use?
 Brittany     What items did you use?
 shina     What material do i need to pass the RVT exam ?pls help me ?
 tammys     What number review book was it? Was it the review book with the questions and answers? Volume 5?
 MJ     When everyone talks about using x-zone are you talking about the questions that you can purchase for certain amounts of time, or is there a mock registry exam that you can purchase through them? I just want to be sure I try what everyone recommends I need all the help I can get! Thanks again everyone for all your helpful and insightful suggestions.
 lauren     Would like to get the Davies mock CD if you still have it. bbattiger[at] att.net
 ultranewbie     yeah.. well just my luck, it will be on my test..
 
 i've already emailed the xzone folks.. they emailed me back just asking for a "name".. i didn't know whether they meant me, Claudia Rumwell, or the name of the anatomy..
 
 so, though it's wrong on the x-zone. i'll have to stick with SMA.. why? because the celiac artery is the first one.. the splenic vein isn't above it.
 tammys     yes
 Bows     yes i am interested. My email is beachcrossfit[at]*.com. THank you so much for your help.
 Texas Tech     Yes I am very interested in your notes. I took the exam for the fourth time and scored a 540. I am very frustrated and really wanting to pass this test. I passed the spi exam the first time I took it. This is really causing some heartache. I have to reschedule my test. I am hoping with some new study guides and study groups on this website I can successfully pass this next time. pls e-mail me with your notes.
 Thank you
 Tammy Stewart
 Damian RCS RVS     Yes I do , I have Davies flash cards
 dfr110     YES I do. Send a message to dfr110[at]....com and we can discuss. And it is for MAC.
 Shami     Yes I have Davis Review Book, Now I am looking for Mock Exam CD for Davis!
 Let me know if you have that CD?
 
 Thanks.
 brandsworld     Yes I have one. It is excellent. Very Hard but I spoke with the person that makes the c.d. and gives a review class and she said that 96% of her review classes pass the test on the first time they take the test. I have been studying on and off since July and it is very hard.
 ultranewbie     yes... most of that stuff on the exam, quite a few of us haven't been exposed to. there are some RVT techs that i've met in the field, who are top-notch at teaching, as well as many years of experience, but they, too, didn't exactly ACE the test. There were some things on the test they certainly didn't expect.
 
 Two of the techs that i knew that had over 15 years in the RVT field took the test about 3 or 4 times before they passed. One of them was my mentor.. What i love about that tech, is they weren't too high and might to tell me that they failed.. 3x.
 
 I think it has something to do with study habits, materials used, time allowed to study, etc.
 Abid     You can go on the pegasus website and get the exam simulation cd rom. It has three levels of information to obtain. I got this from a registry review instructor and she said that 96% of her students pass the exam. I have had the "pleasure" of taking this exam four times and not passing. I am currently studying this cd and it is really helping me. It is I think $140. It is very well worth the money.
 Tammy
 JCH     You need to look at your score sheet again because 555 score means you pass. If you got 595 you passed.
  I took it back in May and got 540 and it states on the sheet pass or fail. You may have passed and did not know it. It is hard to read sometimes.
 gemini_breeze     You never replied to your email Tammy and I are corresponding again on Wednesday you are welcome to join.
 
 gemini_breeze in Rutherford, New Jersey said: Hey it's Monday night where is everyone for the online study group??
 Katrina     You paid $150? Or are you asking $150? How much did you pay for it?
 JCH     You passed 595 is passing.You only need a 555 to pass.It should have said pass on your sheet that you get the day of the teast if it said failed then it is a mistake you passed fgo celebrate and call upARDMS and explain what happened.
 Texas Tech     You passed by only studying Mock cds?
 
 Maine in Newark, Delaware said: Definately take the X-Zone. I passed using Davies, X-Zone and this other book I had. I used the 15 day X-Zone, better buy...and repetition is the key..I recommend doing the practice exams on ARDMS website. Those questions are on the test...Good Luck.
i_c_with_sound     You will not get a job in this field. Yes, take this as a discouragement. Ultrasound schools are all opened to make money and even the accredited ones will not get you jobs. I have passed my Physics SPI and my Abdomen 2 years back and I am fully registered. I have spoken to multiple recruiters who know way more about the field since they do this day in and day out. A senior recruiter for a huge healthcare company told me this:
 
 You need these things to get a job in this field and thats if you get one:
 1) Hospital experience ( minimum 2 years )
 2) If you're a male tech ( you have almost slim to none chances of getting a job )
 3) Need to be dual registered since most techs are doing that to stand out and win job over other applicants ( So not only you have to pass SPI physics exam and a specialty exam. You also must pass another specialty exam to be dual registered to get a job )
 4) She said Ultrasound field is saturated. They are graduating way more many students than jobs out there.
 
 I was in the field graduated from an accredited school. They promised to get me a job but they only got me a job making $18/hour after a year and which was per diem. So i still had to maintain my other job and after all the money wasted and efforts to pass the registry exam. Nothing worked out and now I'm in totally another field and had to start school from scratch. Now I couldn't be the happiest person but one thing about is that I'm very very persistant.
 
 I say take this as a lesson and give yourself a head start because Ultrasound is not a good career move.
