How many weeks did you actually study for COBGC? Be honest

Went through this exact question when I was prepping. The COBGC material on "COBGC" is actually not as bad as it looks — once it clicks it clicks.

What helped me was finding one resource that explained it from first principles instead of just giving me the "right answer." Made a huge difference on the scenario-based questions.

Also: don't underestimate the importance of reviewing your wrong answers more than your right ones. I learned more from 20 wrong answers than 200 correct ones.

Great discussion here. One thing I'd add that hasn't come up: sleep the night before is genuinely more important than one more study session. I went in fully rested for my COBGC and felt sharper on the study guide questions than I expected. Don't underestimate recovery time.

Failed first attempt, came back to this thread. The consensus on cobgc practice test being the make-or-break area is right. Focusing almost exclusively on applied questions this time around.

For anyone finding this later: COBGC is passable with consistent effort even working full time. I studied 54 minutes a day for 11 weeks. The free cobgc anatomy and physiology kept me honest about my actual gaps.

I'm about 3 weeks into studying and just hit 78% on a practice exam last night, which honestly surprised me. I wasn't expecting to score that high this early. I've been doing maybe 90 minutes a day after work, mostly focused on obstetric coding and the ICD-10-CM guidelines for complications. It's doable if you're consistent.

I've got my exam scheduled for the end of July so I still have some buffer. My plan is to spend the next two weeks hammering CPT and then do full timed practice tests the week before. Four weeks is tight but I don't think it's impossible, especially if you've already got some coding background. You've got this.
