The exam is timed, but how much time do you get? Does anyone know? I've searched thru the forum but didn't see anything about how long the exam will be...
I do remember seeing something a while ago in an update about the recert exam.
I remember the 75 questions part. I do not recall though how much the exam is going to be. And, is that price going to include 2 tries?
I was under the impression it would not be timed, but I hope that if it is timed - we're given at least 3 hours. I've seen the ICD 10 book, it is large and there are a lot of differences in looking diagnosis codes up
How were you able to take the test that is stated as not being offered uyntil Oct 1? I have tried to pre register for it and it is not available yet.I can confirm that it is 75 questions with 3.5 hours to take it, because I just passed it!! Big load off my mind

Where did you go to take the test? I have looked all over AAPC's website and can't find it.
I probably would, as they are the ones administering the exam. I would also highly recommend purchasing their practice assessment to get a feel for the questions.So would you recommend taking the AAPC boot camp over others? It sounds like it was very helpful and I need all the help I can get!
I took it after; AAPC sent me an access code via email
Do not stress over the test. It is 75 questions in 3.5 hours. The test only has dx codes on it, and it pretty much goes in chapter order. it is not proctored; you can take the test at 2 am on your home computer in your pajamas
As a point of reference, I finished the test in 90 minutes at 95%, and only using the guidelines twice and the internet once.
Everybody is getting waaaaay too stressed over a test that only measures your reading and rule-out abilities. This ain't the CPC we're talking about, and you most certainly do not need a separate A & P course
