“I used your practice exam bundle and passed the first time! I also recommended this to others preparing for the test in our organization. They ordered and felt it was of great value.  I especially appreciated the explanation for the answers which helped me learn a lot. When I took the test I was able to complete it in 3 1/2 hours with a score of 89%.”

“I just wanted to let you know that I took my CPC test last week. I just got the results on AAPC and I am now certified. I passed!!!!!! the first time. I was so scared. Your tests were very much in line with the exam and helped me a lot. It was worth the money!” 

Mary Trovato

“I purchased the “double practice exam and strategy” bundle yesterday. So glad you have this available for such a good price. I’ve been working on the first exam (after having read the strategy tips) and can’t believe how this is helping. I’m learning a ton about coding and your strategy tips are going to be “key” for me passing the CPC exam. Wish me luck, and a great big THANKS to you for making this available.”

"I can't tell you just how much I LOVE your site. I have learned so much. I am a recent graduate from a certificate program (medical billing and coding). I took the exam two weeks after finishing the program and passed."

Eileen Rizzo

"I purchased your practice exam package and think it's great. Using your tips, I completed all 150 questions in 297 minutes and scored an 84%."
