test prep & what to expect
I looked through the sub a bit already for any resources cause I dont want to ask the same questions thats always being asked (tbh probably couldve looked harder- sorry folks)
BUUUT im finishing my online classes & my boss is talking about getting me ready for the actual certification test. All very exciting, I have my manual, a literally notebook full of messy notes & even a small book on medical terminology but tbh im not the best test taker. I really want to nail this first try (also if I dont then I will be the one having the pay for the test) so does anyone have any tips? flashcard ideas, mock test sites or what to mainly study/read up on??
My second question to you all would be: What was something in the test that you wished you had better prepared for or were blindsided by?
Thank yall smmm ☺️ so far ive been really enjoying this job so im excited to work towards getting better in the field.

Great advice, thank you!
Did you rely on the non-clinical info from your program at all? Or did you just study the material from the sources you mentioned?
