Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the R.EEG.T. exam?
The ABRET R.EEG.T. exam allows 4 hours of total testing time. It is a computer-based, multiple-choice examination administered at Prometric testing centers or via live remote proctoring.
What score do I need to pass the R.EEG.T. exam?
ABRET uses a criterion-referenced passing standard with equated scoring. The cut score is determined by ABRET board members and psychometric analysis rather than a fixed percentage. Different exam forms are equated for difficulty to ensure fairness.
How much does the R.EEG.T. exam cost?
The ABRET R.EEG.T. exam fee is $700. There are no refunds, extensions, or fee transfers. Rescheduling within the 3-month testing window costs $50 paid to Prometric.
What is the R.EEG.T. pass rate?
The 2024 first-time pass rate was 53% across all eligibility pathways. CAAHEP-accredited program graduates had a 51% pass rate, while candidates with bachelor's degrees had a 59% pass rate. ABRET has noted declining pass rates across the field since 2022.
What happens if I fail the R.EEG.T. exam?
You may reapply and retake the exam. After 3 unsuccessful attempts within a 2-year timeframe, you must wait 6 months and submit 20 EEG ASET continuing education credits before reapplying.
How should I prepare for the R.EEG.T. exam in 2026?
Focus 75% of study time on Performing the Study content: waveform identification, montage selection, artifact troubleshooting, and activation techniques. Use the ASET EEG Study Guide, practice with ACNS guidelines, and build strong neuroanatomy and 10-20 electrode placement foundations.
