About the PRC RadTech Exam
The Radiologic Technologists Licensure Examination is the PRC Board of Radiologic Technology examination for entry to registered radiologic technology practice in the Philippines. PRC's 2023 enhanced Table of Specifications organizes the examination into five 20% subjects covering radiologic physics, equipment, radiobiology, radiation protection, image production and evaluation, radiographic positioning and procedures, patient care and management, anatomy, pathology, ethics and jurisprudence, and radiological sciences such as ultrasound, CT, MRI, interventional radiology, pharmacology and venipuncture, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy.
Exam sponsor: Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) / Professional Regulatory Board of Radiologic Technology. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Five equally weighted subjects, each with 100 items (20%), for 500 official exam items. The December 10–11, 2026 program gives each subject 2.5 hours: 12.5 hours of subject sessions in total, excluding breaks and instructions. The enhanced TOS specifies 30% easy, 50% moderate and 20% difficult items in each subject.
Time Limit
Five 150-minute sessions over December 10–11, 2026: 750 minutes (12.5 hours) total, excluding breaks and instructions.
Passing Score
Weighted average of at least 75%, with no subject below 60%, under RA 7431 section 22.

PRC RadTech: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the current RTLE structured?
Five equally weighted subjects, each with 100 items (20%), for 500 official exam items. The December 10–11, 2026 program gives each subject 2.5 hours: 12.5 hours of subject sessions in total, excluding breaks and instructions. The enhanced TOS applies from December 2023 onward and specifies 30% easy, 50% moderate and 20% difficult items within each subject.
What ratings are required to pass?
Weighted average of at least 75%, with no subject below 60%, under RA 7431 section 22. These are official ratings, not a guaranteed raw-number-correct conversion.
How do conditioned and removal examinations work?
RA 7431 section 22 permits reexamination in subjects below 60% when the overall average is at least 75%; repeated subjects require at least 75%. The law says to retake the entire examination after failure to qualify at the third examination, while the current PRC requirements page describes a maximum of three removal examinations. Obtain PRC confirmation of the applicable attempt history when filing; there is no separate fixed day-based waiting interval stated.
What education and documents are required?
The radiologic-technologist route requires a recognized BSRT degree and the eligibility conditions in RA 7431. PRC lists a PSA birth certificate, applicable marriage document, TOR with required examination remarks and other specified details, one good-moral-character certificate and the fee. NBI clearance is not listed in the inspected profession-specific checklist. Foreign applicants must obtain PRC confirmation under the applicable reciprocity process.
Is the X-Ray Technologist examination the same examination?
No. RA 7431 distinguishes the associate-diploma X-ray technology route from the baccalaureate radiologic technology route. Their examinations and result cohorts must not be combined. A degree alone does not confer professional registration.
What should I know about registration renewal?
PRC PICs are normally valid for three years. CPD compliance is part of renewal, and Resolution 2200 allows a CPD undertaking through December 31, 2026. This does not extend an expired PIC. Do not add a PART certificate of good standing as a universal renewal requirement: Resolution 1957 retains the AIPO COGS requirement only for the specifically mandated professions.
Are the flashcard proportions the official exam blueprint?
The 50 cards allocate ten focused retrieval prompts to each of the five equally weighted subjects. They are a revision selection, not a 500-item mock or exhaustive coverage of every subtopic. Pharmacology and venipuncture belong within Radiological Sciences in the enhanced TOS; mammography positioning is within Positioning and Procedures.
Which radiation and contrast rules should I use?
Distinguish the regulator and clinical context. Current PNRI adult lens limits are 20 mSv annually averaged over five years, with 50 mSv in a single year, for practices in its scope. PNRI CPR Part 3 excludes DOH-FDA X-ray equipment. Contrast guidance distinguishes AKI, renal function, route and agent group; a blanket ban on every gadolinium agent below eGFR 30 is incorrect.
