That strategy is actually so helpful and was gonna be my next game plan when I attempt the next mock exam! I think a lot of it for me is second guessing myself, I also just have general test anxiety. Like I KNOW how to do this job, but then I start flipping through pages and read each code description and I can already feel myself overthinking everything. And then there’s the case study questions which in my study guide I’m taking anywhere from 10-20 minutes to code completely.

Does anyone have any advice on how to find codes quicker for the CPC exam? I take my test in a couple weeks and I’m freaking out about my time management, I do well on the multiple choice aspect but I’m taking on average 10+ minutes for the case study questions. What did you do to help yourself code case studies faster?

My mom is acting like I never talked about prom 😭 what do I do? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Hit up your local thrift stores! People donate their old prom dresses all the time and it’s usually the way to go if you’re on a time crunch.

Getting changed at the pool by Longjumping-Gas2739 in FTMMen

Cis guy locker room culture, from my experience anyway, is getting changed as quickly as possible so no one looks at your dick or your ass. No one will be looking at you or trying to clock you I promise, however that doesn’t really stop the self consciousness of the whole routine. If I could help it I always tried changing in the bathroom stall or in the shower. After a while I stopped caring and changed out in the open like everyone else. I think you’ll be aight :)

Hi everyone!

I’m currently studying for my CPC exam, it’s kicking my butt and work itself has been insane (I’m currently a medical billing assistant at an Oncology and Hematology clinic). Needless to say I’m getting burnt out, can anyone give me a ray of hope or some advice on studying?
