I PASSED!!!!! both on my 1st try!!!!! thank you BREATHE EASY!!!! your tips helped me and first thing I did was number my sims to not get mixed up. I also used the AARC code to get $40 off so thank you!!!!!!!! RRT baby!!!!! I surpassed the minimum requirement too. I thank God first and foremost but the hard work paid off. I used LJ mostly too but listening to your videos really helped me.

@@BreatheEasyRRT Yes it finally did. So tell us!! make a video if you're pursing another credential such as NPS, PFT, or SDS???? I want to pursue NPS but don't know where to start to study . Anyway, God bless you. Youre such an amazing brave RRT!

[@leanpamintuan15]

Do I need to sign up and pay to be a member of the aarc to get that $40 code? Is signing up for almost $100/year worth it?

Hi Dominique! It’s Lily from IU 😂 I was looking up this content cause I gave up on getting my license. And recently decided it was stupid to give it up, and studied and passed the tmc, now planning to take my CSE next week 🥴. And ran into your post 😂 hope all is well!

Phew passed my TMC today! Felt like i got the harder version. Onto CSE now!! Edit: the high cut score has been lowered to 92 to be able to take the CSE

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

Congratulations!! 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks the update on the scores! I had heard they were going to be changing a few things after the New Year.

[@Hakuna_My_Tatas]

@@BreatheEasyRRT Thank you!! It was nerve racking!! And the way the questions were written is different from the Form A & B that I took to gauge myself to see if I was ready for it. Its much more analytical and requires you to think critically. There were only a handful of questions that were straight forward. A tip to those taking the TMC, is pay very close attention to KEYWORDS they use!! Also don’t change your answers, don’t second guess yourself! I made this mistake plenty of times while in school. Its true what they say, your first choice is usually the right answer! I was tempted to change a few of my answers bc i didnt feel right, but to my surprise i passed with a high cut score and i was relieved lol.

[@allis553]

I am so happy for you!!!

Hi is the cse simulation an actual simulation where you go in a room with a simulation manican or is it a online simulation where you just answer questions

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

It is a written scenarios that changes as you answer each question

[@d.j.4467]

Does anybody know if the Lindsey Jones 2013 fourth edition is still a good reference? I saw them came out with 2015 and 2019, I’m afraid I am getting some outdated information from the one I am studying RN. Thanks.

[@korduna4]

Your advices are great! How was using tutorial systems for CSE practice? I’m not sure if I caught it in the video or not.

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

Tutorial systems was great. Very informative but a bit more difficult (in my opinion) than the actual exams.

[@korduna4]

Breathe Easy thank you so much for the input! I’ve tried out a few practice sims and it’s been great practice. There isn’t much practice CSE exams out there compared to TMC. I’m glad I tried this out and I’m hoping it’ll help me pass :)

[@kaylenem]

did you find respiratory cram or tutorial systems more helpful?

[@virginiawilliams3741]

I am studying for the CSE. Any advise, help would be appreciated. I am using Lindsey Jones to study can you advise if I need to use something else or any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

Hopefully you found some helpful tips in this video! I didn't use Lindsey Jones much but I've heard good things about it. Everything I used is mentioned/linked in the description of this video. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to just breathe! Good luck!

While you in school for RT, did u work at the hospital?

No, Indid not work there but I had clinical rotations at the hospital.

[@tiasapkota4760]

don't we need to pass both DM and IG to get an RRT?

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

You need to pass the TMC and CSE in the US to become an RRT

[@tiasapkota3944]

I know you need to pass the tmc first to get approval for the cse..But don’t you need to pass both decision making and information gathering to pass cse ? Or they just count the percentage?

[@ashleyrodriguez2413]

@@tiasapkota3944 the information gathering is a little more than 50% of the score

[@IreneandAL]

What’s the difference between RT and RRT?

[@BreatheEasyRRT]

RT is short for Respiratory Therapist and is a general term used widely throughout the hospital. RRT signifies that someone is a registered respiratory therapist and has passed both board exams to earn their credentials at the highest level.
