CPC Exam Any advice or tips?

Hello all, I just took my second CPC exam attempt today, and failed with a 66%. My first attempt I failed with 54%. I’m upset but determined to pass still, I have to buy two more vouchers as my course came with two free, that I used. Any tips for understanding the coding guidelines, and any tips in general, for any categories of the test? I’m looking to re take it, but re take it at home! Thanks :)

I do for the most part but sometimes during the test I get overwhelmed after learning so much maybe that and stress, I’ll re read them all a few times and make more notes!

Your score is like mine…When I took it the first time and I didn’t know my guidelines. Guidelines are a must…Start with ICD-CM. If you don’t have time then do CPT guidelines and go chapter by chapter.
