Is RDA Radio free?

How does RDA Radio work?

It is a 57-minute recorded study show that broadcasts continuously. Everyone tuned in hears the same moment, like real radio. Turn it off whenever you like; turning it back on joins the current broadcast.

How is this different from a study podcast?

It works like a study podcast that is always on. Instead of choosing an episode, you join the show in progress, and everyone on a station hears the same moment. There is no seek bar, speed control or download.

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.

Can I keep listening while I practice?

Yes. Open practice questions, study guides or flashcards on any page. The radio keeps playing, and the header has a power button to turn it off or back on.

What is the RDA certification?

RDA (Registered Dental Assistant) is a California credential required to perform expanded duties as a dental assistant. It validates competency in dental procedures, infection control, patient assessment, and dental law compliance.

The current California RDA combined written and law/ethics exam has 125 total multiple-choice items: 100 scored items and 25 pretest items. You have 3 hours to complete the exam. It is administered by PSI after the Dental Board approves your RDA examination and licensure application.
