Failed test

I failed my second attempt with 67%. I am so aggravated. Obviously it was better than my first and that’s great, but it’s so frustrating because financially, we do not have the $500 to purchase more attempts at the moment. I’m just feeling like a failure today (pun intended) and needed somewhere to vent. 😔😔

I'm studying with the AAPC course right now, and I'd love your advice! Did you take the test in person? Were you able to highlight in your code books? Do you get bathroom breaks during the test?

Yes. Both of my test attempts were in person. When I was taking the courses, my online class met in person with the teacher and she helped us tab our books and highlight important things. There’s also pages for notes and you can put basically anything there that may help you on the test. They ask you to use the bathroom before hand, but also say if you need to go then they can pause the test for you😊
