Exam outline and official sources
AAET — The Nerve Conduction Association · 2027 Candidate Handbook, revised June 5, 2026, currently linked by AAET and PTC as of October 15, 2026. Its testing windows are in 2027; no separate outline effective date is stated. The preceding 2026 handbook has the same seven domain weights. The assigned workbook label, Registered Nerve Conduction Study Technologist, identifies the R.NCS.T. credential earned through this examination; it does not identify a separate examination.
This original 20-question sample covers selected topics across the outline. It does not reproduce official exam questions or cover every tested topic.
