What does a gray-colored block indicate on the progress monitor?

• A. Passed the Didactic Examination only.
• B. Passed the Clinical Competency Evaluation.
• C. Failed all.
• D. Not attempted.

Answer: (B)

The progress monitor uses color to show your status for each requirement, and gray specifically signals that you have met the standard for the hands-on Clinical Competency Evaluation. This evaluation tests your ability to perform radiographic procedures correctly in a clinical setting, including proper technique, patient positioning, safety, and producing a quality image under supervision. Reaching gray means you’ve demonstrated the necessary competency, allowing you to advance in the clinical sequence or fulfill graduation requirements per the program’s rules. Not attempted would typically be an empty or uncolored block, while passing the didactic portion would show up in the didactic section with its own color indication separate from the clinical competency status.
