Hi I recently became a member planing to take a cpc exam soon.(my first try.)
I just took a ICD and CPT classes as well as a short CPC prep class from continuing ed class.
In the prep class, my teacher said "when you take CPC test, without going to alphabetical index, just directly go to tabular list and figure out which one is a right code by eliminating wrong ones. BECAUSE, in real test, time is absolutely not enough to answer all the questions if you go to alphabetical index and tablet both.
My big big problem is that, when I go to alphabetical index first and then go to tabular,
I can way easily find a right code.
BUT ever since I directly go to tabular list, I can't choose a right code easily.
Also, comparing to my school questions, AAPC prep questions are way longer so harder and taking longer... .
I really don't know how to do... .
I really need advice from those who passed CPC exam. (I am so jealous and admire you guys!!)
Did you go to tablular list directly? OR did you go to alphabetic index and then confirm from tablular list?
Did you read the questions pretty much every sentences or just read roughly?
Also, please give me any useful advice regarding CPC exam.
Please let me know.
Thank you so much in advance!
