Taking CMA exam through AAMA tomorrow!!!?

So I hope all my studying pays off tomorrow, and in the long run! I will be doing last minute studying today (it will probably fly by)! Just hoping what I have been studying from is similar to the real thing tomorrow..I cant imagine starting the exam and it being nothing like what I have been reviewing!? I bought the Kaplan review book a while ago, but have not looked at it much since I finished it (kind of forgot what the book is like), but it seems different from the one my teacher made me buy...which is Lippincott Williams & Wilkins' "Medical Assisting Exam Review for CMA & RMA Certification" second edition, by Helan J. Houser and Janet R. Sesser. The second one (I have been reviewing from a lot recently and it seems much easier to follow and has more questions). Please wish me luck and feel free to suggest anything! I will post hopefulLy good news tomorrow! THANKS :)

Re: Taking CMA exam through AAMA tomorrow!!!?

hello cmm4ever, thanks for your posts on this site. I am taking the CMA exam tomorrow. I also purchased and have been studying "Medical Assisting Exam Review for CMA & RMA Certification". Great book. We'll see how much info in the book is covered on the exam. Have u had any luck finding a job yet? Luckily, I got a job 3 months after I completed my externship at a medical office in So Cal. So far, so good!

no luck so far.. which is a downer. I even applied for a nursing assistant position at a hospital, and have an interview this Wednesday. Im hoping it all works out for the best. Just wondering what the interview will be like, and what to say since I went for medical assisting.
