Cpma exam
When I took it back in December, it was my understanding that we were only allowed the CPT, ICD-9, and HCPCS manuals along with an audit tool and the 1995 and 1997 E/M documentation guidelines because this isn't a specialty exam, but a core exam. I passed.
I would call the AAPC and make sure before I took anything else.

Core Credential
mhcpc is absolutely correct - this is a core credential so no other printed reference is allowed. When the AAPC first offered this as a beta test in late 2009 to those of us with CEMC's, there was a lot of discussion on the forum. You might want to check back to those posts for some pointers. Best of luck!

CPMA exam
I took it last weekend. Lot's of questions regarding the OIG and rules/regulations. Most of the coding questions had to do with infusions, drugs, psychiatry, and anesthesia on my exam.
