Hello All!
I took the CPC exam on June 15, this past Saturday. The first time I took it, I didn’t get finished in time and had to guess on 5 or 6 sections (yes, it was a LOT). I ended up failing by 4 points. I purchased the AAPC practice exams and went over and over them and got my speed way up, which was great! My problem was this- My exam started at 7:30 and they began by reading the rules, which we know, takes a bit of time. We didn’t actually START until 7:40, this was when we were told to open the booklet and begin. Well, 5 hours and 40 minutes past 7:40 is 1:20; however, at 1:10 they said “time” and we had to turn everything in. At that point, I hadn’t gone through every question, but a majority of them. Most of the answers I hadn’t gotten to I had already narrowed down to 2 answers, and I just filled in answers quickly. I thought maybe I was just mistaken and had figured the times wrong. When I got to my car, I did the math and realized I had been right. They stopped us 10 minutes sooner than they should have. I know there is nothing that can be done now, but it’s frustrating, because I could have gotten 4 or 5 more answers during that time. ☹ Fingers and toes crossed that I passed this time, as I really don’t want to have to pay for the exam again. **sigh**
