App Description
Scrub In Without Screwing Up the CST Exam
That means diving into anatomy, memorizing more surgical instruments than a med student on 'caffeine' pills, and mastering sterile technique like your certification depends on it, because it does. Fortunately, you don’t need to suffer through dusty textbooks or forums run by someone’s cousin who “totally passed last year.”
EZ Prep’s Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) Study App is the fastest, smartest, and least soul-crushing way to prep for the NBSTSA® exam. Built for future techs who are already knee-deep in the OR grind, our app gives you everything you need to pass, without the fluff, filler, or fear.
Whether you're at clinicals, hiding in the locker room, or mentally recovering from a 6-hour orthopedic case, you can study on the go with expertly written questions, straight-to-the-point explanations, and a platform that still works even when the OR lounge Wi-Fi gives out.
Built by actual CSTs and surgical educators (not bots or bored anatomy majors), all content follows the 2026 NBSTSA® guidelines, so you’re reviewing what actually matters, not just guessing what surgical pharmacology might mean under pressure.
Exam Topics Covered Inside:
Preoperative Preparation – From gowning and gloving to avoiding an infection control disaster
Intraoperative Procedures – The art of passing instruments and keeping your cool in the splash zone
Postoperative Procedures – Cleaning up without screwing up
Administrative & Personnel – Chain of command, ethics, and not getting fired
Equipment Sterilization & Maintenance – Because a rusty scalpel is never the right choice
Anatomy & Physiology – Know your organs, or get called out by a very loud surgeon
Principles of Microbiology – Bacteria: tiny, terrifying, and on the test
Surgical Pharmacology & Anesthesia – What goes in, what knocks them out, and what you better not mess up
App Features That Won’t Break Sterile Field:
• Adaptive Difficulty – If you're crushing it, we make it harder. If you're struggling, we dial it back
• Full-Length Practice Exams – Just like the real deal, minus the sterile gloves and existential dread
• Progress Tracking & Study Goals – See your score climb faster than a surgeon’s blood pressure when the cautery fails
• Instant Feedback – No guessing, no delays, just clear explanations you’ll actually remember
Our 100% Pass Guarantee
We’re so confident in the quality of our material that we offer a PASS GUARANTEE: a 100% money-back guarantee if you don’t pass your exam. Plus, we’ll give you free access to the app until you do. (See our terms and conditions for the fine print.)
