SPI Board Exam- US Physics Experience 

I’m starting the program July 2019, thank you for your videos they are extremely helpful! And congratulations on passing the test!

Your testimony was overall helpful. I’m so happy to have sonography sister post her experience of taking the spi board exam online and to provide a precise analyze of what it’s like taking the exam! By next Fall 2021 I will be entering into my sonography program! I’m so beyond thrilled and grateful for that day to come 😇😇😇! Thank you so much for preparing me for my sonography program, Kristy! Much love and blessings to you.

omg this was so helpful thank you so much for posting about your experience 🥺 congrats on passing!

Your video is so helpful Congratulations on passing exams Hope you're doing great in your career

Wow, very helpful video. Thank you!!

Thanks for mentioning that the exam is not track based! I only do echo so it makes a difference to me

Thank you for your time and information, how do i attend the seminar?

Where did you buy the understanding ultrasound physics book? And also where can I find the guide book?

Your videos have always been helpful to me going through the program. I take my exam in a month and have been studying but how many hours would you recommend per day to study since it seem that I get mentally tired after an hour in half 🤦‍♂️

I fast forwarded through most of the video until I got to the last ten minutes where you talked about math haha. I am terrible at math. Even basic math :( I can brush up on converting though! Thank you for this helpful vid!

Hello, I would like to ask you for some advice if I may. I graduated with my bachelor's in Biology in 2016. Unfortunately, it is a BA and not a BS. I struggled a lot with my science courses then which I did had to switch from a BS to a BA in biology. I still really love the sciences and see it as something I can do for the rest of my life. I am just scared of whether or not I can do it or not. I am not confident in my abilities at times and I am scared to apply to some of these programs. Do you have any tips or suggestions? I am at a really low point in my life and am ashamed of what I have to show for it rn. :/ I apologize if this post is kinda sad and depressing

thanks , was very informative

congrats girl! I graduated from my program 2 years ago, but studying for the SPI has been so difficult for me :( What book did you use to study with?? I have the green edelmans book.

how many questions are there for each part? whats a passing score? i take my physics portion on the 23 of november and the specialty in december

WAS BOTH PARTS ONE FINAL CUMULATIVE GRADE OR EACH WAS SEPARATE?

hi Kristy, can you make a video on SIC (console questions),I have my exam 0n 8/3/20

Hey I've been accepted to a DMS program that is not CAAHEP accredited but will allow you to sit for the SPI will I be able to take the RDMS even if its not an accredited school? Thank you!

How many times can you retake the test?

How many questions were on the exam ?

Congrats! Does the SPI exam expire over time?

Hi I am interested in doing the sonography program. It’s really hard to invest in the right school. Right now I’m looking into pci in Cerritos ca. So my question is how do you know what school is the right school for this program

What is your specialty? My specialty is echo . Were there any questions on your specialty ?

I am getting ready to take my SPI…. I am so nervous! Did you have to do any calculations? I have heard mixed results.

Can you retake it? What grade do you need to pass it?

on the specialty exam or physics part do they ask a lot about bioeffects, and artifacts? do they show a lot of pictures of artifacts and you have to name which one you are looking at? are there many formulas you have to solve or are the formula questions multiple choice? is there questions for example. what formula would you use to find mitral valve area or aortic? or what is used to find regurge? or pap or rvsp? are there case study scenarios given?

I have one semester left to finish the program. Where can I find the Edelman seminar? Can you provide me with the website. Thank you

hi thanks for the video i was wondering from where can we get this red colored review book anyone has idea

Hi I'm actually still preparing for the SPI exam we just finished covering chapter 18 at school. Sometimes I feel like I got this then I start to second guess myself and start to doubt that I can do this. Any advice on a overwhelmed student!?! Thanks for your helpful video 💙

What book did you read to pass the exam. Can you recommend any online resources for review and preparation?

Is this test require before you go into clinical hours at the hospital?

Oh, i was curious alright...

Are you concerned about injuries?

Is the test hard??? Did everybody pass? What if you fail? 😥

I thought this test were 2 parts which is physics and your specialty

this video is sort of helpful and sort of not lol "one thing always connects to another?" I def will look into that book

Hostes? Omg really...but physics isn’t hard

If your a dummy (Lmaooo 😂)

omg this is so cooll! i'm glad you're sharing your experiences! thanks for the testimony

Thank you for this video!! So informative.

Thank you soo much this video has inspired me but im also a bit nervous because i have a learning disabilities but with your helpful tips i know i can do it thank you again.

Congrats!🎉🎉

Congratulations!!!!! 🤗

Congratulations!!!

Congrats!

Congrats 🤗

I took my SPI exam in the beginning of this August and I really agree that a lot of the questions are on Doppler...like at least a good 40% of the questions!

Congrats! I'm going into the DMS program next year, I was just curious if you worked while going to school? I'm worried about staying on top of my studies and paying the bills.

Thank you for the video, you just made me feel more at ease. I’m taking the test in three weeks and I’m very nervous about the whole thing. Can you let us know when you take your vascular exam please.

Also what program did you use?

Loved ur video. Do u know where I can purchase that red esp book?

So did you graduate with a degree or a certification? When looking for employment what do they look for, and do they ask for certificate or a degree? Please and thank you for your help !!

How long was your bored exam?

Hi Kristy, I've been watching your videos for a while now. I have a question on how exactly you managed your time when it came to clinicals and classes etc. when you've first started till now. Also, what are the challenges you faced as a sonography student in terms of finding time to study, work at clinicals, amount of homework, dealing with "bad patients" and keeping relationships stable? I'm fully aware of how rigorous these next 2-ish years will be and I feel that I can tackle it thanks to your videos. I've recently changed my major this spring semester at my community college here in AZ because I thought biology or computer science is for me, but now I know in my heart I had always belonged to helping people and I think DMS is right for me. Also, will I be expecting a lot of all nighters when I begin my journey? Thanks!

Can u make a video on the overall experience of the past two years and a video on the job search process

Hey. Congrats on passing the exam! So the green book is enough to study for the exam you would say? And study how exactly? You read and took notes for each chapter and then quizzes yourself from the questions in the back? I have to take my exam ASAP. And really don’t know what I should use/do to study. There are no more seminars scheduled for the rest of this year so I’m freaking out basically. Thanks!

congrats! just curious, what was your major in college and what were the requirements for you to get into the DMS program?

My counselor said that I need to have 800 hours work / voluntarering to qualify the DMS program. Can you give me advice what kind of job are acceptable?

Hi Kristy, I’m studying for my test at this time. Any tips you can give me would be greatly appreciate it.

Hello! I graduated from my DMS program 6 months ago, and now I am going to sign up to take the SPI. How long did you allow yourself to study? I took physics over a year ago, so although it’s not new information, it’s stored deep in my brain, and I know it’ll take me about a month to really re-study it all.

I’m a general studies major but I’m thinking about switching to biology and then when I get into a four year university I will switch my major again to diagnostic sonography should I do this ?

Kristy I live in maryland as well and I wanna know if you've had any trouble finding a job? you or your classmates? Ive heard theres very little jobs with sonography and im hoping you could give your two cents

I’m so nervous/excited to start my summer classes to become a sonographer!! Is it any kind of way I could ask you questions or tips on me starting school!!!

Hey! I’m taking my spi in a couple of months & I wanted to ask where did you get the red x-zone booklet you show on the video??!! Congrats on passing btw!!!:)

How did you find out where the seminars were to go to?

Can you get an Edelman’s workbook online or ONLY at the seminar? Are you selling your book book?

Was it hard to get a job in your career field, and if so are you satisfied with your pay? I am planning to start college for Diagnostic medical sonography this fall.

Congratz on passing its not an eassy test im registerd in abdomen and vascular keep going! I have a few tips in my page if youll ever want to check it out

How many questions were there ??

Congrats on passing! I've started to consider sonography as a future career and was wondering if I could contact you via email to get some questions answered. Hope you keep us updated on your journey!! Thanks!!

Congrats. I ll do SPI in December 2018. Can u help me regarding intensities topic

do you love your job? Just wondering.

Did u pass on the first try?

Hi Kristy! I am currently in college and have an assignment that I have to interview somebody in the career that I am interested in- Ultrasound Tech. I was wondering if you would be willing to allow me to interview you about being a Sonographer over video chat? This would be a great help to me! If you could get back to me ASAP, please and thank you.

Hi can you do a video about how much the cost for the program, books, how many months it take to become a real sonographer, and tips we need to know before taking the program Please!!

hi krizty can i buy your redbook?

I’m taking my SPI exam on the 22nd! I’m so nervous! 😬

Was it a timed exam ?

How much did the seminar cost

I hate that book. It's on my lap and I want to throw in a fire.
