Got my results yesterday and didn't pass. I'm frustrated but trying to stay focused on what to fix rather than dwelling on it. Writing this partly to process it and partly because I know others will be in the same spot.
My weakest area was practice test — I knew going in that it was shaky but underestimated how much the exam weighted it. The questions weren't unfair, I just didn't have the depth I needed.
I'm rebuilding my study plan around the ccsp - certified chiropractic sports physician sports injury treatment questions and answers and going much slower this time — no more rushing through topics I think I know. Also going through certified chiropractic sports physician to fill in the conceptual foundation I was missing. Planning to take 7 more weeks before rescheduling.
Anyone else been through a CCSP retake? What specifically changed in your approach that made the difference?
Late to this thread but wanted to add — the exam prep section trips up more people than any other part. If you're scoring below 71% there in practice, treat it as your only focus for at least a week before moving on. Breadth at the expense of depth in that area is a common mistake.
The part about reviewing wrong answers thoroughly is so underrated. Most people just move on after getting something wrong. Going back to understand the concept is what actually builds retention for the CCSP. I also used certified chiropractic sports physician for the areas that kept coming up wrong — really helped cement the concepts.
