I've been lurking here for months and figured it's time to give back since this community helped me so much. I passed the COMC exam last week on my third attempt — 78% final score, which isn't glamorous but it's a pass and I'll take it. My first two attempts I was scoring in the low 60s and couldn't figure out where I was bleeding points.
The biggest shift came when I stopped just re-reading my textbooks and started doing timed COMC practice test sets instead. Seriously, doing questions under exam conditions exposed gaps I didn't even know I had, especially in the medication therapy management and billing sections. I'd been ignoring those thinking they were minor — they're not. I also built out a study guide organized by domain weight rather than just chapter order, which helped me prioritize the 10 weeks I had left.
Happy to share what specific exam tips worked for me if anyone's currently in prep mode. What stage are you all at?
