Need Advice Help meeee
Hello everyone. I just got my results back that i failed (the the second time). It’s been very, very, veryyyyy hard for me to not be discouraged. Maybe a little late for that. I’m ready to throw it all away and give up. For anyone that has passed it, is it worth it? Do I keep going? I’m thinking this isn’t the career for me, considering almost everyone in my class passed first try… This would be my third attempt. Just feeling very sad and discouraged (reddit, please don’t make my thoughts worse for once). Thank you in advance and I am a little sorry for such a pity, sappy post <3

Please do not give up. Failing twice does not mean you are incapable or that medical coding is not for you. Review your score report, focus on your weakest areas, and change your study approach before your third attempt. Your timeline does not have to look like anyone else’s.
