How does the SPI Mock Exam work?

Question Breakdown

The SPI Mock Exam is a two-hour timed exam comprised of 110 questions. These questions are dynamically pulled from a pool of over 1,500 questions, meaning that each time you take the Mock Exam it will be different.

Even though the questions will be different, the Mock Exam always has the same ratio of questions from each domain in alignment with the ARDMS SPI Content Outline. Each Mock Exam attempt will have the following percentage of questions from each domain:

  • 23% from the 'Perform Ultrasound Examinations' domain

  • 7% from the 'Manage Ultrasound Transducers' domain

  • 26% from the 'Optimize Sonographic Images' domain

  • 34% from the 'Apply Doppler Concepts' domain

  • 10% from the 'Provide Clinical Safety & Quality Assurance' domain

Scoring & Reporting

Once you answer all 110 questions, the Mock Exam will be scored.

Incomplete test attempts, including those that exceed the allotted time, will not be scored.

Your score will be presented on the final page of the Mock Exam. Additionally, you will see a breakdown of how you scored in each domain.
