1 Welcome from MedicalCodingPro.com Our goal is to help as many people as possible pass the Medical Coding CPC, CPC- H, CPC-P and CCS-P and RHIT Exams. That is why we are offering this practice exam. Most people don t know what to expect when they enter into the exam and this should give a good snap shot of what to look for. Time management is a main obstacle in passing the exam so we recommend that you try to answer each question within two minutes. This should give you a good feel for the pace of the exam and if you will finish on time. After speaking with many exam participants, an alarming number did not pass the exam the first time. A majority of these people said time played a major factor in them not gaining their certification. They either didn t have enough time to complete all the questions, or, they had to rush. It is no surprise that this doesn t produce good results. The actual exam is three and a half hours long and consists of 150 four option multiplechoice questions. 130 scored and 20 pre-test. A passing score is 79 out of 130. One of the programs people requested that we develop was an Exam Strategy, a strategy on how to pass the exam. This made a lot of sense after reviewing the data and feedback from people who took medical coding certification exams. your Practice Exam was very helpful. I wish I would ve discovered it a long time ago! Rasheeda C Thanks so much...i've already learned something from your strategies! Thanks again. Corcedia in California, USA Looking into the opportunity revealed that it wasn t lack of knowledge of the material that that was the biggest hurdle; it was the lack of a game plan on how to pass the exam. People, just like you, wanted a roadmap to guide them through exactly how to pass the exam. So we developed a simple, yet powerful, method to help you get your medical coding certification. It doesn t matter if This Time is your first time or your fourth time. This Time can be your last time! For a limited time we are offering The Exam Strategy for a great low price!
