Practice questions from proprof and from https://crcstreview.com are very helpful. There are a lot of free CRCST test sample questions to practice with
These are the only resources I used for review as I don't advocate overwhelming yourself with too much information online
Please share your thoughts.
There are 150 questions on the actual exam and 3 hours to complete.
You need to score 70% to pass the CRCST final exam which works out to 105 correct questions out of 150.
Since 60% of the questions are come from cleaning,decontamination,sterilization and packaging, much focus should be placed on these areas.
CLEANING, DECONTAMINATION, AND DISINFECTION [PERCENTAGE WEIGHT: 20%]
