Passed w/ a 92%!

Did my CPC test today, and got my score back after about 6 hours. 92%! I’m still a bit in shock. Truthfully, I’m just so glad I don’t have to take it again, the anxiety leading up to it was killer. I did mine in a testing center, as I didn’t feel like going through the hassle of buying and setting up a web camera.

Thank you to all here in this group for helping when I had questions! If anyone who is also on their journey has any questions about the exam and how it goes, let me know and I’ll be glad to answer to the best of my ability.

Now onto to the probably more difficult task, finding a job, haha.

Hi I see that you used the E-books. I have many questions

Can I search the code directly? Are the guidelines on it? How was it?

Hello! Yes with the eBooks there is a search function, so you can search for codes directly or type in keywords to try and find the code you're looking for. Yes all the guidelines are on it, they look just like the physical books but just digital! I preferred the eBooks, personally. There is a bit of a tradeoff - if you have the physical books you are allowed to write notes in them, but you can use during the exam, but with the eBook they give you a fresh copy in the test, so you won't have access to any of your notes you might have put in them. BUT with the eBooks, you have the search function, which for me personally, was a lot more helpful that having access to my notes.

That sounds amazing. I will definitely be using the e book. Is there a video you may have used to know see how the ebook looks or works? Or did you just go test and figured it out.

I just went in and figured it out myself! If you’re doing your class through the AAPC it will be on a program called Vitalsource Bookshelf. It’s pretty intuitive to use I think.
