Why Is Our CRC Practice Exam So Effective?
Unlike other Risk Adjustment practice exams in the marketplace, all our instructors are CRC® Certified and have sat through the original AAPC CRC® Exam. We learned the material in detail and have been working with students for years to help teach them Risk Adjustment and the Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) system. Now we’ve assembled our knowledge into these CRC® Practice Exams to help prepare for the official exam. Here are a few things you can expect from our tests.
Inspired by the AAPC CRC® Exam
All CCO Instructors have previously sat and passed the AAPC CRC® Exam. With our combined experience, we have first hand knowledge of what you need to know for Risk Adjustment (HCC) coding. These practice tests mimic the experience as closely as possible.
Real World Examples
We’ve gone through a lot of trouble to verify our CRC Practice Exams are accurate and correctly coded. We have each question reviewed by Certified instructors before they’re approved. And most of these cases can be seen in the real world.
Answer Rationale Included
You know what’s frustrating? Getting a CRC® exam answer wrong and not knowing why. That’s why CCO has included full rationale explanations with every CRC® question in our practice exams. So don’t worry, if you get any questions wrong, you’ll know why.

Our CCO 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: 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 CRC® Review Blitz and another practice exam.
Passing the CRC® Exam Means, on Average, a Salary Increase of $2,434 Compared to Medical Coders
