Ultrasound Student Assessment (USA) Program
The Ultrasound Student Assessment (USA) Program is a remotely proctored aptitude test required for admission to Jackson College's sonography programs. Developed by Pegasus Lectures, it evaluates intrinsic, unteachable skills including hand-eye coordination, spatial reasoning, visualization, logic, and problem-solving across 79 questions (approximately 2.5 hours). Unlike achievement tests, studying is not possible. Scores are based on national Z-score rankings and contribute up to 30 points toward the sonography program application. Cost is $70, scheduled directly through Pegasus Lectures.
