So I finally decided to go for my MPH certification after putting it off for two years. I work full-time in public health administration and honestly wasn't sure I had the bandwidth, but my employer is covering the cost so here I am. I've been doing an MPH practice test every Sunday morning for the past three weeks and my scores are hovering around 68-72%, which I'm told isn't terrible but I want to be comfortably above 80% before test day.
My exam is scheduled for six weeks out. I'm using one of the popular study guides and going through the biostatistics and epidemiology sections twice because that's where I keep dropping points. Honestly, the social and behavioral sciences portion feels way more intuitive to me given my background.
For those who've passed — how many weeks did you genuinely put in, and were there any exam tips that made a real difference? Did anyone else struggle with the quantitative stuff or was it just me?
