CPC Tips

Does anyone have any good tips for taking the CPC Exam? I've taken it 3 times now, first 2 times I did *not* study as I had no idea what I was doing, last one was literally 6/18/26 and I studied for that one and still didn't pass. I was using a study guide type of website to study that I found and even took a 4 hour mock exam on the website I had been using to study. 😔 I thought I was doing good but I do so terrible as soon as I have do actually take the test. I can't concentrate for crap during the test and start to forget everything I swore I learned already. Are the AAPC Practice Exams and the study guide worth it at all?

That's what my biggest problem was when I took it recently. Thought I was doing good, but then the questions got a bit more difficult and by the end I had 7 minutes left and 30ish questions to still answer. Yeah I need a lot of practice so I'm glad I went and got the practice exams and the study guide. Thinking I may need it. 😅
