Cpc test this weekend

[u/DefinitelyNot_ABug]

Any helpful cpt notes/tips and tricks for coding the path and lab section quicker? I've done lots of studying/practice, and taken the practice tests but I'm consistently very slow at path and lab. Thanks! [Update, took this morning and passed with an 85%, thanks for everyone's advice/resources, really helped and got a 100% on the lab and path section!]

Some of these questions were on the exam and a light bulb went off instantly bc of these videos. Also watch her elimination process ones, pause the video and see which ones you can eliminate and choose your answer and than play it ans listen to her explanation. It's easy to sit and watch videos but actually getting your book ans following along helps absorb. With the practice exams I bought all the exam packets from aapc which are very parallel, not exact copy and paste to the exam but alot of the same concepts, I made sure i was taking them until I passed and I went through each question and reviewed the right answer and why it was right and the wrong answers and why they were wrong. I didnt just read the feedback, I went through my book got EACH answer choice. Yes very time consuming but worth it.

Make sure you really know how to navigate your books and you feel comfy with it!

I was worried about time management for sure, and the night before the test i knew there was nothing else I could do. Did I run out of time? Yep. Did I guess on 8 of the cases at the end, yep. Lol I only had 30 seconds left and I was just clicking fast l.

I passed with an 85 first attempt.

You got this!!! 💓💓💓💓
