@@chosicano0521 I watched all of Luz’s videos and read the chapters that she outlined. The CIC study guide was super helpful at narrowing down the areas that I needed to focus on.
I passed my CIC! Thank you Luz for posting study materials! ❤ CIC Epidemiologist was a great and fun study material to add to the other materials. I studied hard for two months. It helps to have variety of study materials to understand concepts. The CIC exam I took had more of critical thinking questions. There were some straight forward questions, mostly critical thinking. Therefore, studying well is important to be able to answer questions presented in different formats. Good luck to those you who will be taking the test in the future!❤
Hi. Can you guide me to other study materials that proved beneficial in your prep or that are a must to pass? Thank you! And a big congratulations on your success!!
@@priyankarana4102 Thank you! The study resources I used are APIC text, CIC study guide 6th edition, Exam Edge, and CDC guideline. I used APIC text and CIC study guide 6th edition the most. Exam edge is optional, but must have CIC study guide 6th edition and APIC text. CDC guidelines can be downloaded from CDC website for free. Have to purchase the other resources. CIC study guide and Exam edge are question-based. I took the practice exams without studying first to see where I am at. Studied and took the practice again. I took the practice exam again for 3rd time one week before my exam. I took notes on the ones I missed and read the concepts well until I got it. On the study day, I ate breakfast and relaxed. There were only few questions I missed on the 3rd practice exam. Management and communication was my weakest. I reviewed my notes on those missed questions and formulas. I went to the exam one hour early. Space was available, so they asked me if I want to start one early. I said yes. I was nervous, but I just prayed to shake of my nervousness and took the test. There were really tricky questions. I read the questions and answers twice on the hard ones. Reading again really helped me to eliminate the two answers that are definitely not the right answer. Make sure you read the questions that says, which you do first, which is the most important, which you will not do, except, and including. Get through the easy ones fast so that you have time to read the hard ones twice. I finished my exam 30 minutes earlier. Good luck to your exam!
hello there, I am an RN with a BSN. currently practicing in the USA. I just came back from APIC 2023. I am very much interested to become an IP with CIC. Could you please guide me on where I should start? I went to APIC just because I want different knowledge than I am having right now. I used to be the floor staff nurse at Med Surg, and orthopedic, then I moved on to Occupational health nursing and then hom e health nursing. my next station has to be IP. please guide me.
I took my CIC yesterday and passed! Your videos have been so helpful in my studying process.

Was the exam hard?
For question 2, the APIC text says 0.01% for mucous membrane contact and nonintact skin contact (not 0.1%) just fyi :)
