rma scoreing

please help i need to know how many questions you need to get right to pass the rma...i understand you need a 70 to pass but i have called the amt and they told me each question is worth 1-2 points so does that mean i only need to get atleast 70 questions right to pass?

Why just settle for 70%? You go for the highest score you can. Don't sell yourself short. Always strive for more than second best. Be the Best of the best...

Hi there, I don't know what your test will be like, but I remember when I took mine it was all multiple choice. It was a 3 hour test and I was done in 1 hour and 16 minutes. I studied for 30 days straight, over and over. I had a practice guide and all my notes, and I cleared my mind and became one with my notes and all that I learned in the classroom, and in my books. I lived it, breathed it, and I saw myself as a working Medical Assistant already. It doesn't work for everybody. I know that every answer that you get right on your test counts as two points towards your final score. The test will cover all that you should have learned in the classroom. It is then broken down on that part. May I suggest that when you do go to take your test that you go in and remain calm, and don't be afraid of the test. Read each question carefully and look at all the answers & see witch one would fit in the blank space. Study hard, and study with a friend. It will go along way. I hoped that helped and good luck with your test.
