It's not a written exam. What do you mean how to pass? You can't fake anything.
Treatment usually lasts for 6 months. Symptoms may improve in 2 to 3 weeks. A chest x-ray will not show this improvement until later.

TB is very easy to treat, and VERY hard to contract. In fact, recent studies indicate up to 30% of the general public has dormant TB.
Active cases can be cleared, but the history probably will remain. Tuberculomas, or pockets of contained Mycobacterium tuberculosis, can and often result for exposure/contraction.
Chances are, you will be fine if it is dormant, and will be easily treated if it is active. Either way, you cannot fake a chest x-ray. Sorry.

Pass? Do you mean hide the fact that you've tested positive for TB?? Do you know what a public health threat that could pose? Take the antibiotics that should have been prescribed for you religiously and hopefully you can "pass" your next chest xray.

there isnt any way to pass an x ray. the scarring from the tb will always be there and there will always be questions about it. question the hospital or clinic that doesnt pick it up on the film.
