tips
Remember, you cannot have any extra papers, notes etc, but you can write anything anywhere in your books! So anything that you need, perhaps E&M, CABG, etc...find either a note page or in the E&M section of your CPT, or Cardio section...write as much in as you can. They will flip through your books to make sure there are no loose papers, so don't use anything like that. You are allowed to bring BLANK paper for taking notes during the test, which they will collect along with your test book, but I found the extra paper isn't necessary. You can write in the test book itself and there is lots of room for that. As far as taking the test, be sure to watch your time! Don't spend too much time on any one question or section. Go thru them all quickly and answer any you can do without any research. Then go back and spend maybe 30 seconds per question, answering what you can that way. Save any that have multiple codes, the more codes in the answer, the later I attempted that question. But keep a very close eye on the clock at all times, it goes VERY quickly! I was lucky and passed my first time, and that is what I did....and it seemed to work for me. Good luck!
