CRCST Live FAQ

Is CRCST Live free?

How does OpenExamPrep Live work?

Each Live station is a recorded video show with two AI hosts, on-screen key points, quiz pauses and captions. It plays on a shared clock, so everyone watching sees the same moment and you join the show in progress. There is no seek bar.

Is Live the same as Radio?

Yes. Live is the same programme as the station’s Radio with pictures, on the same clock. Switch to “Listen only” or leave the page mid-show and it keeps playing as audio from the same moment.

Who are the hosts?

Maya & Ben are AI-generated hosts. The show is independent study material from OpenExamPrep; check exam rules with the official exam sponsor and practice with our free questions.

What is the CRCST exam pass rate?

HSPA reports 10,083 passes and 5,286 failures in 2025, a 65.6% pass rate. That annual pass rate is separate from the unpublished numeric cut score.

How can I pass the CRCST exam on my first try?

Use HSPA's current content outline and reference list. Prioritize Cleaning/Decontamination, Preparation/Packaging, and Sterilization, which are 21% each, then review every remaining domain and missed practice item.
