Passing the CPC® Exam is easy when you use Laureen’s time-tested and proven method. Follow the 3 simple steps below to practice and you’ll practically guarantee yourself a passing grade.
Step 1: Get a Timer
For Step 1, grab a timer from the kitchen. We prefer the small digital ones or even a smartphone. Since the AAPC exam is timed, this is a critical component to passing the exam.
Step 2: Timed Quiz
For step 2, begin our online Mini-Mock Practice Exam while spending a maximum of 2 minutes per question. If you exceed 2 minutes per question, you’re not ready and you should consider taking our CPC® Review Blitz as a refresher.
Step 3: Score 85%
For step 3, you need to score a minimum of 85%. Do this, and you’re good to go! If you score less, you’ll need our CPC® Review Blitz and another practice exam.
