I work full time (50 hours a week) and just registered for the COPD. I'm trying to set a realistic study timeline before committing to a test date.
From what I've read, estimates range from 4 weeks to 14 weeks depending on background. My background is related but I've never taken a formal exam prep course, so I'm probably starting at an intermediate level.
I've been using the copd - cce - certified chronic obstructive pulmonary disease educator non-pharmacological therapies questions and answers to gauge where I stand, and my initial diagnostic scores are around 55%. Also reading through cce copd exam to fill in the theory gaps.
For those who've been through it: did you study daily or more intensively in bursts? Did your practice scores accurately predict your real exam performance?
For what it's worth — I've taken the COPD twice now. First attempt I underestimated the practice test questions. Second time I focused almost exclusively on applied practice and passed comfortably. The difference is real.
