What is the HSRT exam?
The Health Science Reasoning Test (HSRT) is an evaluation tool that must be taken in order to be considered for entry into the Dental Hygiene Program. The HSRT is a 33 question exam that requires you to read medically related information and respond to questions based on the reading. All information needed to answer the questions is in the reading, so there is no need for dental background.
