"failed the radiation section my first attempt and wasnt sure what i was doing wrong. cdatest.com breaks down exactly where you keep missing questions so you can actually fix it instead of just redoing everything. passed all three components second time around."

"tbh i put off studying for way longer than i should have and ended up cramming the last two weeks. the practice questions for infection control were pretty close to what i saw on the actual exam. not identical obviously but the logic was similar enough that nothing felt totally suprising."
