In-Training Exam Guide for Residents

IMPORTANT: For the online proctoring, there is a required onboarding

and demo that must be completed at least 72 hrs. prior to taking the
actual DXIT Exam. Failure to complete the onboarding process may
delay or prevent you from taking the exam.

The exam must be taken within the exam window provided (Jan 3 – Jan
31, 2022).
You cannot start and stop the exam. Once started, the exam must be
completed within the provided timeframe.
Although you may take the exam on any day or any time during the
testing window, it is recommended that the exam be taken during the
normal ACR support working hours Mon – Fri from 8am – 4pm.
