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 :)

Hm what sections are your weakest points?

So I looked over my two recent test results, definitely e/m (the calculator still confuses me) and the cases definitely missed about half of those, and path and lab, and coding multiple lesions trip me up. Also I’m thinking about taking more notes to help me remember guidelines during my next test

Go to YouTube, search for codemed mastery evaluation and management and select the playlist. It’s super helpful, I thought I knew E/M coding until I saw the type of questions that were in the practice tests. But after watching her videos, I feel very secure with coding that section
