How many questions are on the CRCST exam?
The CRCST exam has a total of 150 multiple choice questions.
This is a great question, and I want to break it down a little bit further to provide some greater understanding. Though the CRCST exam is 150 multiple choice questions, only 125 will count towards the over score. 25 questions are for research which are randomly placed throughout the exam (so you won't know which ones count vs do not count unfortunately). There are also several versions of the exams so the passing score may be different for each one; which doesn't matter because they do not share what the passing scores are, nor will they show you your score either. It will be a pass or fail. All this can be found in the HSPA Certification Handbook.
Regardless, passing is incredibly possible! It is going to take some hard work and time to prepare yourself for the CRCST exam by studying the Healthcare Sterile Processing Association (HSPA) CRCST manual/textbook. If you don't already have one I suggest getting the newest version which is the 9th edition which you can obtain from the HSPA store. You can also use practice tests and flashcards developed by yours truly (Brandon The Sterile Guy), which were designed specifically to focus on the required content to help you pass the CRCST exam.

Very comprehensive and scholarly presented . Kudos Brandon!

The practice test really helped prepare for the certification test!

Hi these cards are of quality and value easy to learn and just amazing thanks

I just registered class about one week ago, and finished two modules. I have to say this 101 class make the process of preparing the CRCST exam much more easier. I mean each module is kind of short but full of necessary information for the exam and follow up with some practice questions with an answer page. I also have flash cards on the way, cannot wait to see it!!! I am planning to take my exam no later than August probably in the middle of August, hope I can pass it on my first attempt. 🙏
I took my test today for my provisional and I PASSSED! I bought the flash card bundle. I can say honestly your flash cards seem like a lot of hard work went into them. I’ll be honest i didn’t really use them as much but i found your practice test very helpful. I would take them every two weeks and it helped me a lot on my test. So thank you very much.

Taking my CIS in July. These are a very good study guide. Thank You.

I felt pretty confident going into my CIS exam, but I wanted some extra reassurance so I decided to purchase the practice exam. Not only did it give me peace of mind, it also showed me where I could use a little extra last minute studying. The questions felt true to the test and were far better than any of the free study options. 10/10 would recommend!

I really loved this practice exam, it helped me a lot in preparing for my CIS exam. I especially appreciated how the practice exams are linked with the HSPA CIS book, providing page numbers to review whenever you choose an incorrect answer. This feature made it easy to revisit and understand the material better.

The practice questions gave me full insight of what will come out of exam. Thanks sterile guy for putting this together. Amazing work. I will. Buy another package again for my CIS.

This has helped me in so many ways getting ready to take my certification. The practice tests are super helpful, and it was definitely worth it!!

From the initial answers I got after asking questions before purchasing, to the easy to checkout process, to receiving my order in the mail (in an impressive amount of time), to the quality of the flashcards, I was impressed, in fact, I am still impressed.
I must say, this Sterile Processing Supreme Bundle delivers.
You'll just have to make the purchase to see exactly what I mean when I say, "The flashcards are 'matter-of-fact' evidence to the standard of academic excellence 'the sterile guy' has committed to."
