EKG RHYTHM PRACTICE
Many EKG technician (ECG technician) exam questions start with a picture. The rhythm-strip questions use original figures drawn for this app. Tap two points on the strip with the caliper to measure an interval or work out the rate before you pick an answer.

EKG ELECTRODE PLACEMENT
Practise electrode placement for a 12-lead EKG. Pick the lettered spot on a chest or limb diagram where an electrode belongs, then check your choice against the correct position and the reason for it.

THE THREE CET DOMAINS
• Safety, Compliance, and Coordinated Patient Care
• EKG Acquisition
• EKG Analysis and Interpretation
Topics follow the test plan: patient safety and compliance, preparing the patient and equipment, lead placement, artifacts, and rate, rhythm and interval analysis.

PRACTICE THE WAY YOU STUDY
Work through short sets by domain. After each answer, read why the correct option is right and why each of the others is not. Use mistakes review to return to the questions you missed.

TIMED PRACTICE EXAM
A 120-minute timed practice exam that follows the format NHA publishes for the CET: 100 scored items plus unscored pretest items (in this app the unscored ones are a simulation chosen by the app). You get a raw practice score by domain. It is not an NHA score and does not predict whether you will pass.

FLASHCARDS AND NOTES
Flashcards and study notes for quick review between practice sets.

CHECK THE EXAM RULES WITH NHA
Eligibility, fees, passing score, retake and renewal rules are set by NHA and are not covered here. Check NHA before you register. NHA has announced an updated CET exam; this app follows the current CET test plan.
