Our Proven Method for Passing the CRC® Exam

Passing the CRC® 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 CRC® Review Blitz as a refresher.

Step 3: Magic Score

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 CRC® Review Blitz and another practice exam.
Chart - CRC vs CPC Salary Estimates

Passing the CRC® Exam Means, on Average, a Salary Increase of $2,434 Compared to Medical Coders

If you’re not CRC® certified you could be throwing a lot more away than the small cost of a practice exam. Certified Risk Adjustment coders earn, on average, $2,434 more per year than their medical coding counterparts. In contrast, our Mini-Mock Practice Exams start at only $29.95.

“…they really bolstered my confidence and rounded out my knowledge base!”

I actually took the CRC course through AAPC, but stumbled upon your videos and wished I had taken your course due to the multitude of ways in which you support your students. When the week before the actual exam came around I took it off from work to take as many practice exams as possible and bought both of yours, as well as accessed the free one. I am very glad I did as they really bolstered my confidence and rounded out my knowledge base! Now, I want to go deeper with my coding expertise and would love to get my hands on those Pearls! How? I am also considering taking your ICD-10 coding course for extra practice as I never coded anything in my life prior to taking the course beginning February! Please let me know what you would suggest as a good way to strengthen this skill! I actually find that I LOVE ICD-10 coding!! Thanks so much!!

– Lynn McDougal

Can you hear me screaming from the roof top??!! I passed my CPC certification on the very first try! I am so thankful for your Blitz videos and practice exams. I just found out today that I actually passed the test.
Brittany Pendleton
Just wanted to say that I took my CPC exam in December and I passed. I honestly feel that this course was amazing! I researched coding and found this site and am so grateful that I did. I was nervous about starting an online course. I felt the Blitz was extremely helpful in helping me pass the exam. It is very important to do the Blitz and practice exams. I don’t feel like I could have done it without CCO! Thank you.
Karie Jarvis-Slayton
I passed my CPC exam on first try with 80%. I could not have done this without the Blitz videos and practice exams. The bubble and highlighting really assisted in my getting thru all 150 questions in the allotted time. My thanks to Laureen and the team as I could not have done it without you guys!!
Lisa Colbert
The Blitz along with several practice tests really helped me feel confident when I walked into the exam. I finished with 40 minutes to spare, which I took to go back over the questions/scenarios I wasn’t super sure I did all I could to answer correctly. I was able to take some time and change a couple of answers in that extra time. And I PASSED my first time taking the CPC exam!
Sherry
Much thanks to Laureen and Alicia for your help and support! I passed the first time with an 88%! I feel such a sense of accomplishment! I knuckled down and completed the PBC course and the Blitz. The bubbling and highlighting is superb! Also, the practice exams were very helpful as Laureen and Alicia advised. Alicia’s understanding and nurturing coaching style is perfect for me. She was available when I needed her. Looking forward to continuing my studies with both of you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the different names of the Practice Exams?

Each exam contains a separate set of questions. We used the names so students can distinguish the exams from each other.

Do the questions change every time you retake the same exam?

No, the questions will not change. Each exam is programmed with only 60 of the same questions. If you suspect you will need more questions, we recommend investing in the 3 Exam Bundle so you can access 3 different tests.

Does the Practice Exam have to be completed at one sitting?

No. We provide “Save and Resume” functionality so you can return to the test later for completion.

Do I get a score and rationale for each question?

Yes. When you finish the test, at the bottom of the test, click on “Submit Your Answers” and you will be shown your results instantly. The rationales to each question can be seen by scrolling down.

Is the practice exam instantly available?

Yes! All our exams are instantly available online wherever internet is available. After you complete your purchase, you’ll receive an email containing your login details.

Can I print the Practice Exam?

Yes, we provide a printable version of the exam questions but you will need to return to the online version later to input your answers and receive your score. The final answers and rationale cannot be printed due to copyright restrictions.
