CMT Prep Assessment
AHDI joined forces with Oak Horizons to offer our CMT
Prep Assessment online! The assessment will run from the first
day through the last day of each calendar month. Registration
will begin the month prior, for a span of two or more weeks.
This assessment does not offer continuing education credits
for CMTs. The program was not designed to test the knowledge
and skills of our current CMTs but help prepare Level 2 MTs
(as stated in
the MT Job Description) for the electronic certification
exam. MTs and students taking the CMT Prep Assessment will
still need the experience requirement before registering to
take the CMT exam. Review the Candidate Guide for detailed
information on the electronic certification exam.
The objective tests consist of 25 questions pulled randomly from the body system that the participant is assessing. The grade is reported immediately, and correct answers are provided upon review of the test. Since the database for each body system has approximately 100 questions and the questions are pulled randomly, the participant does not receive the same test twice. There is no limit to the number of times a participant may take the objective tests.
Each body system also has up to 5 voice clips to transcribe according to the directions provided. The participant may have to transcribe the entire clip, transcribe the missing part, or edit the voice clip. The clips are intended for practice purposes and are not part of the grade for the participant. The WebCT software is not as sophisticated as the Prometric software and cannot allow for the many variations that can occur in the practical portion of the exam. The participant may practice the process and technique of using the voice clips, with an answer provided for comparison purposes.
The program is open to the participant twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for each calendar month. The cost for each course is $100 for AHDI members and $125 for nonmembers. Registration for each month occurs on the 1st through the 20th of the month prior.
