The TMC Exam is known for its challenging nature, and it can be really tough to deal with failing after putting in so much effort into your studies. It’s completely normal to feel frustrated. But right now I don’t think I only feel frustrated I also feel like giving up which isn’t my thing. 😞😞
Honestly, some people have a natural talent for test-taking, while others might struggle despite their hard work. I didn’t study extensively but managed to pass, while I know many who dedicated countless hours and didn’t achieve the same outcome. The key is to stay calm and confident during the exam. Creating personal mnemonics and phrases, just like Mr. Tony always advises, can really enhance retention. I developed unique sayings that clicked with me to help remember the material.
@@Pristine-e3x It’s inspiring to see you taking charge of your future! I have a 42-year-old in my current study group with Mr. Tony, and it just proves that it’s never too late to chase your dreams.
Congratulations love! I'm an experienced RRT who fell into that lovely NBRC loophole where because I didn't do exactly what they asked, I have to retake my exams. So fun, right? I appreciate your tips and I hope the RT profession has been a blessing to you!
Just graduated last week! I have Lindsey Jones, but I also purchased Gary Persing 2020 edition so I’m going to be studying both! Looking to take the TMC in about 2 weeks!
Breathe Easy you will do great with the CSE!! What helped me is Tutorial Systems which is online for only $20 it has about 40 simulations with explainations Try it if you want😊
Breathe Easy awesome yes I belive thats what jelped my with my CSE like I had about 6 simulations that were so similar to what I studied. Cant wait for the news that you are an RRT😊☺
I'm just finishing my second semester of respiratory school so I'll take the TMC in just over a year. Already stressing me out 🤣 That's so cool you did so well on it! Thanks for the tips
Yayyy...you go girlll...thank u so much for sharing your journey... your gonna go far in life.....I start my RT program in a week and I'm excited...good luck
I'm so excited for you...listening to things I have no clue about makes me nervous but trust me I saved alot of your videos for when the time comes. Thank you so much for giving us a rough idea of what materials to use to study and also some of the things that was asked. I am extremely proud of you.xoxox
Thank you so much girl! I'm so excited that you got started in the program!! Definitly come back to these videos when you get a little closer but feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have 💓🤗
Yes but now that you past and let's just say you pass the clinical like I did ... I am at a point where I can't get a job ... They always tell me I need at least 1yr experience but what do I do ?? What did you do ??
Keep applying for jobs. Attend state society meetings to get to know people in the area, volunteer in local organizations like thw cf foundation, American Lung Association, etc. Try to make connections with people in the field and at hospitals.
I am half way through my 1st semester of RC school I can’t believe my mid terms are coming up next Tuesday! Time sure is flying seems like yesterday I discovered your page before I started the program!
Jemica Bunton hello I was wondering if you’ve passed the TMC I actually have the same studying material did it help u or anything better you found?? Pls help
oh thank you for your wonderful informational videos!!! I just signed up for the AARC student membership discount. You mentioned AARC has some TMC tests prep and videos??? was this an extra cost of $310? or included in the membership? anything helps thank you again. Im contemplating if I should purchase it. I have the Gary Persing book already and LJ just wondering if its worth buying. Was the TMC questions mostly like LJ or Persing?
It used to be included in the membership, I'm not sure if that has changed in the last year though. Try reaching out to their customer service to see if there is another way for students to access it. If you have LJ and Persing's I'm sure you'll do well, they are two of the best in my opinion. I've heard LJ was more difficult than the real thing and I felt Persing's was pretty darn close to the style of questions and difficulty.
For the tmc and CSE I only got a few math equations. The thing you'll primarily use are your ideal body weight equation and calculating tidal volume. The math you use is school is primarily basic algebra, so it isn't too bad
I start next Friday and our program requires us to join and it’s in our fees we pay. But our program is classes only for the first and second semesters then 2 semesters of clinical full time
I really appreciate your videos. Next week will be the end of my first semester. One week break, then beginning second semester. If possible I will like to email you from time to time. You have been so encouraging. So, basically you suggest start reviewing for boards during the third semester? Once again, congratulations!!
Congratulations! Make sure to enjoy your break! Yes, I started reviewing occasionally in third semester but really buckled down my final semester. You can email me anytime through UA-cam in my profile or on Instagram. Good luck!
I failed my two times and I refuse to fail it a third! I just ordered Kettering. I have LJ and Gary Persing as well. LJ has not helped me at all. Any tips for taking the exam? I don’t want to fail a third time and wait 4 months
@@toy2461 DONT GIVE UP! I’m currently studying as I’m typing this! WE GOT THIS!! I don’t care that i failed by 13 the first time and 10 the second time. We can’t give up!!
@@pabbate87 Thank you. I know I need stay positive. We did make it this far. Your right we got this!! I've been studying using Persing. What materials are you using?
@@toy2461 so since this is my third attempt I decided to bring in heavy reinforcements lol. I bought Kettering and I’m studying that currently. I do have Persing but I find it confusing especially with a lot of useless details in the equipments. I have LJ which I used but it hasn’t helped me too much. like he says oh you can just read the “blurbs” or “nerdy facts” when in fact that could be on the exam🤦🏻♂️ LJ helped me with hemodynamics and some of the mathematical problems but that’s pretty much it.
Hi! Question: I went to the AARC website and it appears the prep course is $310 am I viewing this correctly? Can you please guide me to the AARC Exam Prep Course (Free for Student AARC Members)? Thank you so much!
They used to send it out in a link and it was highlighted in the student board on AARC connect as well. I don't have access to it anymore because I am not registered as a student but if you have issues finding the link, try reaching out to their customer service or Amanda Feil the membership coordinator.
Just got pinned 2 weeks ago. Need to schedule the exam when our director says we can. Super nervous !!!!!! I’m doing lyndsey Jones did anyone use it and pass with that ?
Hey l have watched your video and was thinking you are the right person to help me. I am looking for practice questions for the TMC that can help me pass. Questions l have gone through in Kettering do not reflect the TMC EXAM. Kindly help on what website or book l could use that have questions similar to the TMC EXAM. THANKS
Hi Charity! I used tutorialsystems.com it was $20/month when I used it, not sure if the price has changed though. I thought the questions Garry Persing's book use was pretty similar as well. There are also the simulation exams you can take on the nbrc website. Good luck!
@@BreatheEasyRRT Hey l am here to thank you. I took my TMC yesterday and passed!!! I appreciate you 🥰and your videos. Any tips for the SIM exam? I take it sometimes in August.
@@BreatheEasyRRT one more question your thoughts, changing career in this field of work R.T. is there pay growth what would be the minimum pay with a Associate's Degree and the max pay?
The amount of pay varies widely by state. I would suggest doing some research on the state you want to practice in. Look at labor board statistics and also recently posted salaries from glassdoor and indeed. This may help you get a better idea of the pay scale in your area.
Thanks so much for this wonderful video, the TMC exam has been so difficult for me… but it seems so easy with your video and explanations.
