📗Taking The Test
When you’re taking the CPC exam, you’re allowed to bring in each of the code manuals (the ICD, CPT, and HCPCS manuals) and you’ll be asked to perform though you were coding at your regular coding job, so set up your manual in the way that makes the most sense for you.
📘Manage Your Time
Make it your goal to read and, if possible, answer every question on the test, but don't spend too much time on one question. Separate the questions into blocks of time, and work on one block of questions for a fixed amount of time before moving on to the next set.
📕Know Your Goals
Always keep in mind that you need to get 70% of the test or more in order to pass.
The long, multi-part questions that might have you look up three, four, or five codes are worth the same as the general knowledge questions.
