Make your payment and understand next steps.

Access to the DXIT Exam is not provided until the registration is paid in full.

The recommended payment method is by e-check, which will take around five days. Credit cards will provide immediate payment. When paying by credit card, limit the registrations on the order to the amount that your credit card will cover. Multiple orders may be needed. Both e-check and credit card payments are available through the PPM. See below for a guide on setting up e-check and credit card payments.

To pay by mail, make your check payable to ACR and mail it to:

ACR
Attn: DXIT
1892 Preston White Drive
Reston, VA 20191

Checks provided by mail may take two to three weeks to process once received by ACR. Exams will not be provided to residents if the check payment is in the mail or being processed.

Alternate payment options (ACH or wire transfer) are available in the Program Guide.

Before the Exam:

  • Review the Program Guide and Program FAQ.
  • Register your residents and verify your order has been paid in full prior to the Exam start.
  • Verify your resident levels in the PPM after the start of the new academic year. Score reports will not be rescored for incorrect resident levels.
  • Remind your residents to check their login information prior to the exam.
  • Notify InTrainingExam@acr.org with any special accommodations. These are due by the registration deadline.

During the Exam testing window:

  • Access the Exam Dashboard and verify your residents are completing the exam. Send reminders as necessary.
  • Schedule the Exam review with the residents during the Exam Review window.

After the Exam:

  • Have residents complete their Exam review.
  • You will be notified when the score reports are available, usually 8 weeks after the Exam closes.

Before the Exam:

  • Review the Residents Guide and Resident FAQ documentation.
  • The Exam is administered online using proctoring software.
  • At least 72 hours before you want to take the Exam, confirm your login, complete your onboarding, which will verify your laptop and browser, and verify your resident level which can be located by your name top right of the Exam dashboard. If the level is incorrect, notify your Program Administrator. DO NOT contact the ACR. We are unable to change this information.

During the Exam testing window:

  • Do not wait until the last day to complete the Exam. If you have an issue, there may not be time to correct it.
  • If experiencing technical difficulty, contact the Proctortrack 24/7 support chat, or during ACR working hours, email InTrainingExam@acr.org with a screen shot and detailed explanation of the issue. Messages are answered in a queue. Do not phone the ACR or request support through multiple methods. This may delay a response to your issue.

After the Exam:

  • Set up or confirm your Exam Review time with your Program Administrator.
  • Relax and wait for your score report. Take advantage of this time to use the DXIT Study Guide for topics you struggled with.
