The Science Behind Practice Testing for CRCST Studying
Practice testing, or self-testing, is one of the most effective study techniques, backed by a significant amount of scientific research. It involves taking quizzes or mock exams as a means to enhance learning, and its effectiveness is rooted in several key cognitive processes.
- Active Recall: The core benefit of practice testing comes from active recall, the process of actively retrieving information from memory. Studies have shown that the act of retrieving information strengthens memory traces, making the knowledge easier to recall later. A comprehensive review published in Psychological Bulletin found that practice tests significantly boost retention compared to passive review strategies like re-reading notes.
- The Testing Effect: Research has repeatedly demonstrated the "testing effect," a phenomenon where taking a test improves long-term retention of material more effectively than additional study time. Who wants to read the HSPA Manual on their own as the only means for studying? A 2011 study in Science by Roediger and Butler showed that students who used practice tests outperformed those who only studied, even when the total study time was the same. This occurs because testing not only reinforces what has been learned but also helps identify gaps in knowledge.
- Feedback and Error Correction: Practice tests provide immediate feedback, which is crucial for learning. When students see what they answered incorrectly, they are more likely to adjust their thinking and fill in knowledge gaps. This aligns with research showing that error correction is a vital part of learning, as it helps students better understand and retain information.
- Spaced Retrieval: Like CRCST flashcards, CRCST practice tests are even more powerful when used with spaced repetition. Reviewing information at spaced intervals has been shown to enhance memory retention, and combining this strategy with practice tests maximizes long-term learning.
In summary, the science supports the use of practice testing as a highly effective learning tool. It promotes active recall, benefits from the testing effect, allows for corrective feedback, and can be enhanced by spacing out study sessions. This evidence positions CRCST Practice Tests as one of the most reliable methods for improving memory and academic performance on the HSPA CRCST Certification Exam.

Why are the CRCST Practice tests designed around the HSPA Technical Manual and not CBSPD? It's not necessarily CBSPD vs CRCST, but on the other hand, it kind of is. CBSPD does not provide a manual to help you study for their certification exam, nor do they provide you any usable materials to know exactly what to study. Talk about setting you up for failure. Not to mention, 1 out of every 2 people who test with CBSPD fail their exams.....YIKES! Regardless, of this glaring defect, the HSPA manual can be used to study for the CBSPD exam perfectly fine. HSPA is a strong supporter of Sterile Processing Technicians and they do a fantastic job of setting you up for success. That is why more than 75% of people taking the CRCST every year pass and earn that wonderful CRCST Certificate. Ultimately, utilizing the HSPA Sterile Processing Technical Manual 9th Edition, the CRCST Practice Tests, and the CRCST Flashcards together provide the perfect CRCST Exam Prep Program.
