I just got an email saying I'm in the top 15 alternates at CCC after being told in the email from May 21 that I was not in the top 15. Anybody else have this happen? I've accepted a spot at PCC so it's not a biggie, I just thought it was a bit odd. Maybe they expanded their cohort size?

I think for CCC probably the end of May or beginning of June. They are doing interviews until mid May. The wait is terrible!!

Sorry Bande, my phone autocorrected your name and I just realized. It won't let me edit to fix it ?

Bandera, yes, keep fighting! You'll get there, you have the right attitude ?

Is there a way to “study” to do well on the exam? Not that I've found, unfortunately ? That's the thing I find most frustrating about this test. PCC does have a few links with recommended reading, and Insight Assessments has a few (really bad imo) practice questions on their website, but I didn't find them helpful. I tried doing other reading and practice tests surrounding critical thinking last year to prepare but I didn't have any luck finding much of anything tailored to health science reasoning. I am reading Peter Facione's Think Critically, which is mentioned on Insight Assessments' website. Mostly, it's not great, but it is helping me get in the habit of remembering to ask myself: What is this question *really* asking? I think that's the main takeaway for me, and the most relevant thing I can share in regards to the HSRT. Sorry for being long-winded. The test will give you everything you need to know, so there's no real studying required ?

I'm sorry ? Such a bummer, but don't give up hope!

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll do great ? I took the exam last year and felt that they gave plenty of time to do it. Plus I love that you don't have to do it on a specific day, at a specific time like MHCC did last year.

Good luck on your interviews, and congratulations on making it to the next phase at all three!

Check your email for PCC - finally got mine just after 5pm today.
