Forgiveness and Acceptance
The first and most crucial step in recovery is accepting the score and forgiving yourself for not doing well. Failing is awful and disappointing, but if you tell yourself things like, "I'm too stupid to be a sonographer, I should just give up," you'll never make it in sonography or anywhere else. Positive thoughts such as, "It's okay!" I'll crush it the next time! It will go a long way. Accept what occurred at the testing facility, forgive yourself, promise to do better next time, and move on. You can devise a strategy to avoid a repeat scenario in round two of the ARDMS ® SPI exam.

The SPI examination evaluates the SPI knowledge and skills you must demonstrate as a sonography professional. The primary test result is a PASS or FAIL decision. In addition, you will receive a scaled score, ranging from 300 to 700. A scaled score of 555 is required to pass all ARDMS examinations.
The scaled score is not a percentage of correct answers, nor is it built on a “curve” where a certain percentage of scores would pass and a certain percentage would fail. To learn more, visit Notification of Results and Scoring.
