So I've been putting this off for way too long, but I finally scheduled my IACP exam for June 20th. I work in a clinical lab and my supervisor basically told me it was time to stop procrastinating. I've been going through the study guide off and on for about three weeks but honestly I feel like I'm all over the place — covering chapters without any real structure.
I started doing some IACP practice test questions online this week and it's been a reality check. I'm hitting around 68% on most sets, which I know isn't where I need to be. The pharmacology and quality management sections are murdering me. I've got about four weeks left — is that enough time if I'm studying 1.5 to 2 hours a night? I work full-time so weekend cramming is really my main window.
Any exam tips from people who've recently passed? Especially curious how closely the real thing matches the practice material and whether the wording on questions is as tricky as people say.
