This StudyWalks final is a readiness check built from the Tech in Surgery Prep course and organized like the TS-C test plan's four categories. Scores are StudyWalks scores on a 20–80 scale, not NCCT scores, and do not predict an NCCT score or result. StudyWalks is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to NCCT, and this course does not establish eligibility for any examination.
