Re: CHP Part I Study Materials



I purchased a software program which I found to be a very effective study tool for the part I exam.  It contains around 800 questions, similar to the type asked on the exam.  It has features such as being able to simulate a timed exam, remembering what types of questions you answer wrong, etc.  It gives the answers, and detailed explanations of solutions for each question.  It was useful because it gave me an idea of how much more studying I needed to do.  It keeps track of what percentage you are able to answer correctly.  When you are able to answer about 80% of them, you are in good shape.  It also gives you an idea of the areas you should spend more time studying.  It's not cheap at $360, but it was worth the extra peace of mind.  They were also offering a complete refund if you do not pass the exam on the first try.
It is (or was) produced by Datachem Software. (508) 366-5277
I bought it in '97, so I'm not sure what the price is now.  Good luck!  I found part I to be more difficult than part II.  Make sure you are familiar with NCRP, ICRP, 10 CFR, and BEIR recommendations (old and new). There were many questions on them.

Colleagues,
I am seeking an up-to-date reference to use as a comprehensive study
guide for Part I of the CHP exam.  There is a wealth of information out
there on preparing for Part II, but I have found no concise reference
(cram exam) to use to study for Part I.  Is there something out there,
preferably on the web, similar to the study guides used for the NRRPT?
Any response will be welcome.  Please respond to ixo@ornl.gov.

Thank you,

John E. Dixon, RRPT.
