Finally passed my MMT exam after two attempts — here's what actually helped

Hey everyone. I just got my results back yesterday and I finally passed the MMT on my second attempt. First time I went in way too confident after only doing a couple of practice runs, and I failed by about 8 points. Embarrassing, but it was a wake-up call.

This time around I gave myself six weeks, used a solid MMT study guide, and really drilled the sections I bombed before — specifically the manual muscle testing grading scales and the documentation interpretation questions. I also spent a lot of time on MMT practice tests, like actual timed ones, not just reading through Q&As casually. That made a huge difference for time management on the real thing.

For anyone gearing up for this exam, my biggest piece of advice is don't skip the clinical application questions even if the recall stuff feels solid. Those scenario-based items are tricky and they count heavily. Happy to answer questions about the breakdown or what resources I used if anyone's prepping right now.
