The P.A.S.S. Registry Review CD Quiz Series is an excellent self-assessment tool for the medical professional preparing to take an ultrasound registry examination or for the educator who has a desire to enhance the current registry review curriculum. The questions posed in each of the P.A.S.S. interactive CD exams are based on current registry examination outlines and are presented in similar formats. The P.A.S.S. CDs offer: • An unlimited number of times you may take the practice exams — whether taking an exam 8 or 1,000 times, the CD will never stop working; • An automatic timer that allows you to measure your test-taking time improvement; • A bank of 533 questions, of which approximately 150 are randomly selected each time an exam is taken; • Randomized order in which the answers are presented each time an exam is taken, allowing you to take a different practice exam each time, virtually eliminating the chance of memorizing the questions and answers. Each CD exam comes with easy-to-follow, on-screen instructions, images, and diagrams presented in multiple choice format. Upon successful completion (70% or better) of the included quiz, the viewer can submit the answer sheet to Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute for 15.0 “AMA Cat. 1” CMEs ($35.00/person processing fee required). All AMA Category 1 credits are acceptable for ARDMS requirements.
