Ms. K! I passed my medical assistant exam yesterday. Your videos were my ONLY form of studying. I never went to Medical Assistant school but I've been working as a x-ray tech / medical assistant for the last 13 years. Now I'm finally certified! Thank you for all that you do! Your videos are amazing. I pass with a 436!

Hi Ms. K, I wrote the RMA exam today 8/25 and passed with a score of 80. Thanks for allowing me to troll you all over the web. Also, i came across some questions that you taught us, specially the insurance, CPT, ICD-10-CM codes, positions, root words, OSHA, HIPAA. Thank you MS.K you are a rockstar. I lived, breathed, ate, slept, dreamt and wake up with your videos. Studied content, content, content. Thank you for all your hard work and thorough teaching. P.S. I am not going anywhere, I'll be there for all your new videos. My next challenge is EKG & Phlebotomy Tech. Veronica

[@go1d3n.nightmare]

I really appreciate this video. I have 7 weeks until my exam and I’m really starting to focus more on studying. I still have stuff to learn in class such as EKG. I did take my first practice exam off the NHA website yesterday just to see where I’m at before studying and to get an idea where I’m struggling at. I had a sticky note next to me the entire time and I wrote down things I came across that I didn’t know. There ended up being a lot I still needed to learn: Codes, Lab Results, Insurance Fundamentals, Letter Structures, etc. I scored 70% and saw some questions that you’ve gone over before in other videos. I’m nervous for sure and I feel overwhelmed but I’m trying. I really want this certificate.

[@MedicalAssistingwithMsK]

70% is a good score considering there were a lot of things you still hadn’t learned yet. You’re doing great by getting a head start so I’m confident you’ll do fine when that time comes ☺️

Hey Ms.K! I’m new here and I’ve heard a lot about how you’ve impacted other medical Assistant , I’m trying to get my ccma with NHA and I’m stuck on where to start studying could you help me on what you think is best?

[@MedicalAssistingwithMsK]

Hey! So I think you should get both the practice tests and the study guide. But if you can only get one, get the practice tests for sure. Take your first test as you get 6 altogether and see where you are. Once you see your weak areas, go to those areas on the study guide and review those. Another way you can go about it is just simply going through the entire study guide first and then start taking your practice tests. And every time you take another practice test and see your weak areas, go back to that section of the study guide to review again.

i retake my CMA exam in July and want to start studying early. I have the online study guide on the NHA website that I had to purchase myself. Should I use that and also my textbook and study guide book?

[@MedicalAssistingwithMsK]

Hi do you mean you’re taking the CCMA? I am asking because you mentioned the CMA but that’s not the exam that NHA administers. But to answer your question, I would focus more on the study guide for the exam you’re taking, not your school’s textbook. Also, make sure you purchase the practice tests because they are essential for preparing you for the actual exam even more than the study guide.

I want to study 1hr and 30 min a day 5 days a week but I don’t know how to make a plan.

Hi Miss K. I have been working as a medical assistant for 13 years but now I’m out of job and everywhere I go, they’re asking for a medical assistant certification. I want to sign up to U.S. Carrer Institute for an online self study course and very soon take the test. But I’m a little confused about the CMA, CCMA and CMAA tests. Which one should I take in order to work and not have any issues in the future?

[@MedicalAssistingwithMsK]

Hey! I have a video that breaks down the differences between the tests which I’m linking here. But in short, I always recommend people in your situation to take the CCMA because it will most likely be easier for you since it’s a clinical certification and you’ve been working in the field all these years. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHvCYnRjfd18qJI Also, have you ever considered becoming an MA instructor?
