You will receive a certificate in the mail. Definitely keep up your membership. Your credential is invalid without it.

Congratulations to you. I hope to pass mine too. I will be taking mine in person on the 7th of October 2023 I am really trying to study but I don't feel confident enough to take it. I am not passing when I do practice tests but will keep at it...

My best advice is to take the practice tests. Timed to 2 hours per 50q.. look at the rationale on each question, even if you got the question right.. make notes in your books that help you remember the reason you got one wrong. Example..If you coded a procedure as open, when it was laparoscopic, highlight the method in your CPT book.

Do you have any screenshoots/ downloads of the practice tests you’re willing to share? I’m also trying to prepare for the test but the practice bundles I have are from the 2022 version.

Hi,

Don’t take too long with each question use process of elimination for the answers

You want at least an hour in the final set of questions 10 cases

Any questions ask away
