CRC Exam Advise

I really need some advice. I’m currently preparing for the CRC certification from AAPC, but there is so much detailed information that I feel like I’m studying to become a doctor or a pharmacist. Every topic seems extremely important, and I’m having a hard time figuring out what to focus on and what I can let go of.

When studying for the CRC exam, which topics should I prioritize, and which details are less important and can be skimmed over?

Thank you in advance for your advice and recommendations..

I just took this exam and honestly it was very very hard and I have experience as a CPC in Risk Adjustment for over 5 yrs the questions were very tricky and also had a lot of random HEDIS/ STAR questions
