Looking for real answers here, not the "study for 3 months" advice that everyone gives.
I have 3 weeks before my scheduled (PMC) Prenatal Massage Certification exam date and I'm wondering if that's enough. I work full time so I can only do about 1-2 hours per night.
I've been focusing on "PMC" and "PMC - Prenatal Massage Certification" practice material. Made flashcards for the stuff I keep getting wrong and doing a full practice test every weekend.
My concern is whether I'm spreading too thin. Should I drop some topics and focus on the ones with the highest weight? What are the sections that actually show up the most?
What was your actual study timeline? Not what you'd recommend — what you actually did.
I actually failed the first time by a few points. Total gut punch. But passed on the second attempt with a comfortable margin.
What changed: I stopped trying to memorize answers and started actually understanding the material. Specifically on PMC exam — I went back to basics and worked forward from first principles.
Also switched from reading to doing. Less time with the textbook, more time on practice questions with detailed answer explanations.
You've got this. The second attempt is always better because you know exactly what the exam is like.
