Got my results yesterday and didn't pass. I'm frustrated but trying to stay focused on what to fix rather than dwelling on it. Writing this partly to process it and partly because I know others will be in the same spot.
My weakest area was exam prep — I knew going in that it was shaky but underestimated how much the exam weighted it. The questions weren't unfair, I just didn't have the depth I needed.
I'm rebuilding my study plan around the rhs infection control & prevention and going much slower this time — no more rushing through topics I think I know. Also going through registered health specialist certification to fill in the conceptual foundation I was missing. Planning to take 8 more weeks before rescheduling.
Anyone else been through a RHS retake? What specifically changed in your approach that made the difference?
Congrats on passing! Can I ask — how many questions did the actual exam have compared to what the practice tests simulate? I've seen different numbers online and want to calibrate my timing during practice.

Good thread. One thing I'd add: don't try to cram the night before. I did 4 hours the night before my RHS and I think it hurt more than helped. Your brain needs consolidation time. Light review or full rest is better.
