I took my exam on Saturday. I've noticed a lot of the questions were not on the study guide. Still fingers crossing.

Hi everyone,
I will be taking the CPCO exam next week and was wondering what the passing score was?
Also, I did not find the approved links helpful to take with me to the exam. They are all mainly articles and are super long. Did anyone find them helpful? I was looking for other published material that just has definitions. It would be great if anyone can share what information, aside from the approved links, were helpful during the exam.
Thanks!
Hi there,
The passing score is 70%. It is not an easy test. I was very well-prepared - passed my first try - but used every minute of the testing time (5 hrs 40 min) as well as nearly all of the published materials that I had organized into 3 binders.
How do you know that taking the approved articles will not be helpful? There were many questions that I could answer without referencing my materials, but others that required a reference to verify specific wording, or to distinguish subtle differences among more than one possible answer. Memorizing definitions, only, will not yield a passing score.
My one piece of advice for anyone taking this exam would be to have all permitted reference materials organized in a way that allows you to find relevant information quickly (as in, under 45 seconds).
I do wish you best of luck!

I took the exam last Saturday and I noticed the same thing. I think that it was more application .

Can you tell me what reference materials are permitted? I can't seem to find a list and when I reached out to AAPC Support, they suggested I ask on the forums.

Did you got an answer from AAPC? Same thing happy to me, bought the exam in 12/2018 printed everything and schedule the exam in feb to take it in July and went in last week and saw the new references, this is completely unfair. They should make an exception for everyone who have already bought the exam prior to the updateThis is wrong of AAPC to change the conditions of the exam for those of us who purchased under under the previous circumstances. Where was their notification of this change to those of us who have already purchased? Even so, we purchased under other conditions. I've emailed AAPC for an explanation, as well as my money back since the way in which I previously studied now makes me feel unprepared.
I am very interested in the CPCO revised course. Is it still at a significantly discounted price?CPCO Exam Changes
I disagree with the changes to the CPCO allowed resources and have contested this change. Unfortunately, AAPC stands by this decision. If you are scheduled for the CPCO this year, I am offering a CPCO workshop at a significantly discounted price to assist with this change. If you are interested, please message me. I am also revising my CPCO course, which I hope to relaunch in June. As always, please message me with any questions. I am here to help.
