2013 CPC Exam

[Nevergiveup]

Thanks I m sure you will pass just focus on the tips and especially
bubbling and highlighting , I studied for 3 weeks when I bought
the videos and it was my last resort after I went to Bootcamp
Which didn't help .
I feel a relief now I m hoping to get my CCS studies started soon .

Thanks Gail. Right now I am starting to bubble and highlight.

Congratulations Donna on passing your exam on the first try!!! It took me five times and I finally passed, I just found out. What helped me this time was talking to other coders, finding out that I was trying to read too much into the questions and stressing out too much. I also learned to pick out key words and get the guidelines. Now I study for the CPCH.

Crank, I do not know where you are getting your information, but the information you provided is incorrect. The CPC examination is 5 hours 40 minutes. Here is the link to the information about the CPC examination: http://www.aapc.com/certification/cpc.aspx.

April,
I took my first CPC exam in March and failed with a 68% only because I didn't give myself the whole 5 hours and 40 minutes allowed. I don't know what I was thinking but I sealed my book at 5 hours not realizing that I actually had 40 minutes to spare. Grrrr! Lol. I have been studying more because I wouldn't have been happy with passing with a 70% anyway. I also retake in May, actually the 18th, just a few days away. Good luck and I have faith that you will pass!

Good Luck, April and JenniferD! Hope you both pass and give us the good news!

There is a lot to be said for taking it once and having the experience behind you.
