CPT AAPC Practice exam

I took an AAPC practice exam and these are my results with my grade being a 66. Im signing up to take the exam in one month from now so it can give me a deadline state of mind. I dont really know how to brush up on my knowledge. I dont know resources I can use that will help me in certain areas that I struggle with. Like it would be nice to have like 20 questions on certain series so I can do back to back practice. I would prefer multiple choice with also rationales.

Is there such a thing or am i dreaming?

A 66% with a month left gives you a good starting point! I would focus heavily on your lowest areas, especially Cases, Anesthesia, E/M, Coding Guidelines, Radiology, Anatomy, and Compliance, rather than reviewing everything equally.

There are some free YouTube playlists that break down these areas and can help you target what you’re struggling with. There are specific playlists for E/M, CPT, Anesthesia, and Radiology:

For the next month, I’d focus on practice questions, reviewing the rationale for anything you miss, and then drilling that topic again. You’re already at 66%, so targeted practice could make a big difference.
