How I PASSED the CBSPD Certification on MY FIRST Try! (CSPDT Exam 2024)
Preparing for the CSPDT exam by CBSPD? Wondering how to pass the technician exam? You're in the right place! In this video, I share my personal journey on how I passed the CSPDT exam, including how to study for the CBSPD exam and the strategies that helped me succeed despite the 50% failure rate.
The CSPDT (Certified Sterile Processing and Distribution Technician) exam, administered by the CBSPD (Certification Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution), is known for its rigorous standards and high failure rate roughly half the examinees fail. Many candidates struggle to pass on their first attempt. But with the right preparation and mindset, you can overcome this hurdle and achieve your certification.

      Hey Kat, so its based on the 9th edition book. The pilot exam is brand new and only going to be around for 2 weeks, so far I've been getting good feedback that it's relevant to the pilot exam! This is because of the essential chapter notes that are included that touch on topics that are in the official study guideline HSPA puts out. Hope that helps and good luck!

      Good question, as of now there's blackout so 42 days should be enough to get you through the pilot exam test period if youre scheduled for it. I will be updating the study guide for the new September exam aswell, so if you're going to be testing then you should hold off purchasing. Lastly, 6 weeks/42 days shouls be plenty of time to study the material many times over - if all else fails email me well work something out👍

      I mean once you paid for the exam you're in. If you are going the 400-hour experience route it depends on how fast your supervisor can confirm your eligibility. Lastly, the study guide was tailored made to the previouse exam since no one has seen the pilot exam yet. However, the chapter notes were pulled from the 9th edition book which is HSPA’s recommended study reference for their exams. I would recommend studying with as much resources available to you, happy studying and good luck!

      @ThatSterileTech Před 2 měsíci

      Hi Kristina, I believe I answered this question before. Essentially, I believe so, and here's why: 1. I had a handful of questions about eto sterilization which has been banned in California since 2006 2. So many people had amazing results and It's highly unlikely they're all from California. Lastly, even if the questions are different the notes are derived from the exam content outline ensuring you have a well-rounded understanding of topics you're being tested on to where it doesn't matter how they ask something you’ll know the correct answer, hope that helps!☺️
