    I failed my CPC exam for the 3rd time in October 2022. The sad part is I made a 67 every. single. time. The first time I took it in person (150 questions). This was before they changed the test. The second time I took it online September 2022 (100 questions). This was after they changed the exam to have 100 questions. The third time I took it was in October 2022, in person. I just knew I did great. So after failing this last time I asked AAPC to review my exam. I just knew there was no way I got a 67 three times, on 3 different exams. They sent me someone else’s result breakdown for my online exam. After sending me mine results they said I need to focus on low scoring areas. The problem with this is they varied every test. So, I went into a depressive state. My husband ordered me the books, practice exams and 2 online test for 2023. I’m just touching the books today, March 25th 2023. Honestly I want to cry and give up. Thanks for posting your testimony. It is very encouraging.

    Hey, thanks for sharing! You can do this…I’m about to test April 8, 23. MAS Coding here on YT, great resource and 321 code it books on AMAZON. Pricey but worth every cent! Heavy practice after each chapter and it simplifies challenging concepts…I’m using a 2021 edition, but look into it.

    I went into this thinking it would be overall smooth sailing, especially being in medical field already and in my studies realized the difficulties. I joke and say it is like becoming a mini medical doctor and investigator, but I don't think it is a joke 😂 So far on my mock exams I am landing 75, but I am terrified for the actual exam. Even after two years I feel very ill equipped. I am glad I do have a good program and they push us to the core with everything and tell us how difficult it is, but prep you for real life simulation. Coding is hard.

I was Embarrassed,Mad, I Cried, I felt like I did not Study hard enough. But the thing about my Results is that it showed a Percentage of the Areas of the CPC Exam On what I did Great and but most importantly what I Did Poorly in. So now I know what to expect of the test and I know what I need to work harder on.

Baby, let me tell you, I was wrong! lol, when I received my printout test results and saw my score - my whole mood changed. To pass the CCA exam, I had to get a score of 300 and I received a score of 281! I was 19 points away. I wasn’t discouraged but I was a little bit disappointed. Because I felt like I did all that study and practicing the coding for nothing. As you stated in your video, I didn’t give up. I’m going to study again and reschedule my exam in Jesus’s name. lol

I was in community college for Medical Coding /Billing. I graduated in December of the same year. I admit was stress trying to take my courses, study for CPC exam and packing to move in November. 😮 So, I had a lot going on. I have spent so much money trying to get this down test down pat. I purchase AAPC practice exams and again three more today. I scheduled my next exam in thirty days. So, I’ll see how it goes. I know people have taken this exam five-seven times. But they didn’t give up and I won’t either. Thanks again for your words of encouragement. I so much needed this.😊

    I understand what you mean by see it all the way through. What got me started was losing my job in the pandemic. Working is what caused me to put my CPC goals on hold, but now that I had no job, I had no excuses. So I started a course with AAPC. Spent my entire savings (and stimulus) on it during a rough and uncertain time in my life, so I'm determined to see it through. At this point I can't afford to lose anymore time or money. That's my motivation. Still taking the course, but I'm hoping to take the exam by the end of this year.

Just like you ….I felt confident and to find out I didn’t pass for the 3rd time, made me become very discouraged. I didn’t know what else to do, how to proceed, what I needed to work on or study. BUT after I went through those emotions, I threw away all the negative thoughts and kept going. Reading the same material over and over was tough and I had so much resistance with throwing in the towel but I kept it pushing. I took my fourth test last weekend and passed! I say all that to say this…. You are not alone! Keep going! No matter how hard it is. Don’t be discouraged. You got this my sister! If I can do it , you can do it. Much love and success to you! ❤️

    medical coders in the Philippines who took the aapc exam only trained for 3 months 3 x a week. yet so many of them thought the exam was easy. In America, training usually lasts like 6 months to a year but many failed. I think it has something to do with the curriculum and how it's being taught to the students. I think medical coding in the Philippines is taught in a very straightforward way, fast paced but easy to comprehend. plus we focus more on how to pass the exam instead of the actual work itself.

    Thank you for this video. It popped up first thing after I got back on KZread AGAIN to study MORE since I failed my first exam 5 days ago. I just found out yesterday. I felt so confident and just knew I had passed. But I made a 67% out of 70% which came down to 4 questions!! Do you think that scheduling a second exam a week later is too soon? I have to get this certification so I can get me and my son away from our situation and I really wanted to get certified before he goes back to school. Or do you think I should take more time to study and gain a little more knowledge? I think my weak point was the ICD-10. It said there would only be 10 questions for the ICD-10 but it seemed like a lot more to me.... Again thank you so much and I am sorry for rambling on.

I ended up having to choose any answer for the last 25 questions then I had 14 mins left so I went back to go over the 25 that I choose any answer on. I'm so upset with my self.
