TMC Exam Eligibility Requirements

Are You Eligible to Take the TMC Exam?

Before you prep, make sure you qualify.

You must meet one of the following:

  • Completed an associate degree from an accredited respiratory therapy program

  • Have 4+ years of CRT experience + 62 college credit hours

  • Have 2+ years of CRT experience + an associate degree

  • Hold a baccalaureate degree + 2 years of CRT experience + 62 college credits

TMC Exam Structure: Know What You’re Up Against

The TMC exam has 160 multiple-choice questions and lasts 3 hours. Of those, 140 questions are scored, while 20 are unscored “pretest” items that won’t impact your result.

Here’s a clear breakdown of the exam structure to help you feel more prepared:

TMC Exam Structure

Every question has just one correct answer, and no room for guesswork.

The test is divided into 3 key sections:

  • Patient Data Evaluation (50 questions)
  • Troubleshooting & Infection Control (20 questions)
  • Initiation & Modification of Interventions (70 questions)

Questions are further classified into:

TMC Exam

So, what happens after you finish answering those 160 questions? Let’s look at how your performance is actually measured.

How the TMC Exam is Scored

Each correct answer earns you one point. You’ll need to meet one of two “cut scores”:

  • Low Cut Score (88+) = CRT credential
  • High Cut Score (varies) = CRT + eligibility for the CSE (to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist)

If you fall short, don’t worry – you can retake the test:

  • Up to 3 attempts with no waiting period
  • After 3 attempts, a 120-day wait applies
