The NBRC Registry Examination for Advanced Pulmonary Function Technologists blueprint is divided into 3 domains, headlined by Data Management and Interpretation (23%), Instrumentation and Equipment (33%), and Procedures (44%).

For the NBRC Registry Examination for Advanced Pulmonary Function Technologists, NBRC points candidates toward these resources:

• NBRC Official Candidate Handbook
• AARC Educational Resources

Official training builds the foundation; deliberate practice builds the result. Pair whichever course you choose with 117 practice questions from Lead2PassExam and you prepare on both fronts.

The RPFT exam packs 115 (100 scored, 15 unscored pilot items) questions into 120 minutes. That ratio is the hidden exam-within-the-exam: candidates who never practice under time pressure often know the content and still run out of minutes. Use the Lead2PassExam Windows engine or online engine in timed mode, and let pacing become a practiced skill rather than an exam-day surprise.

Delivery first: download immediately after payment, with an email copy arriving within one minute. If 2 hours pass with no email, check spam and contact our support team. There is no limit on how many computers you can install the software on.

If you sit the RPFT exam within 60 days of purchase and do not pass, the Lead2PassExam money back guarantee covers you: file within 2 days of the exam with a scanned enrollment slip and the official score report (PDF), and the claim is processed within 7 days. The candidate name must match the payer name; the policy excludes exams taken within 3 days of purchase, purchases never used in an actual exam attempt, free materials, and expired orders. If you prefer to keep preparing, exchange the product for two free exam packages of equal value and retain the update service on your original purchase.

You pass the RPFT exam at High cut score (scaled score, exact value not publicly disclosed; separate from CPFT low cut score), and official registration costs $200 (new applicants), $170 (repeat applicants); $150 additional fee for international testing. Keep in mind the fee covers one attempt only — a retake is billed at full price again. The economical path is to self-test first: drill 117 practice questions at Lead2PassExam in timed mode until your scores clear the passing mark consistently, then register.
