The RPFT exam, officially titled Registry Examination for Advanced Pulmonary Function Technologists, is the NBRC exam you pass to earn the Registered Pulmonary Function Technologist (RPFT) certification, a credential at the Advanced / Professional level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as Certified Pulmonary Function Technologist (CPFT), Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT), Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT).

The RPFT exam includes 115 (100 scored, 15 unscored pilot items) questions and gives you 120 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the RPFT exam is High cut score (scaled score, exact value not publicly disclosed; separate from CPFT low cut score), and the official registration fee is $200 (new applicants), $170 (repeat applicants); $150 additional fee for international testing. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $200 (new applicants), $170 (repeat applicants); $150 additional fee for international testing again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.

NBRC lists the following prerequisites or eligibility notes for the RPFT exam: Must be 18+ years old; meet one of: 1) Associate degree or higher from CoARC-accredited respiratory care program; 2) Hold CRT or RRT credential; 3) 62 semester hours college credit (including biology, math) + 6 months PFT experience; 4) Hold CPFT credential.
