I passed my exam with an 88 today!! Thank you for your helpful videos!!!!

[rickazca]

Good advice. I do have a suggestion that you make a separate video for "After you pass the CPC" Letting new CPCs that passing the CPC, being a huge step, is step one of many in getting your career started but not the final one. What surprises a lot of new coders is when they go for coding positions, companies want to give them a coding test that catches them off guard. I myself as a CPC ran into this a lot during my job searches. I was also a coding supervisor at a company for a few years and we had the same policy. When I would interview and tell them we had a 25 question coding test, the response was "What?! I already passed the CPC exam!" I think it's very important to bring up situations such as this.

I take my CPC in the morning, I've watched your videos throughout my schooling and you have made my comprehension of coding so much better than before! Fingers crossed I pass with flying colors! <3

[Nobusshi]

I've got my in-person CPC exam retake a week from Saturday and this helped out a lot! Thanks so much!!

[mariyaa]

You have the best content ! I am currently in a training program for the exam. I have 15 years of experience in medical billing, but am semi new to coding. So many other channels give such unnecessary info or just treat what’s in the book!!

[rachaellefever]

I have worked in food for 18 years. My sister is a coder. She encouraged me to make a career change and I started classes in February. My big exam is July 9th and I'm extremely grateful for your videos. I am extremely nervous though lol

[shehnazsshh]

I just passed cpc with 81%
Thankyou victoria for all your guidance
U taught me most of the things

[patriceanderson]

I'm so glad you said external Webcam so now I know what to do

[oldschoolhales]

My exam is February 26th . After watching this video I’m not as nervous I think as long as I study and prepare I’ll do just fine. Personally glad the case studies are at the end.

[theresamoran]

I passed my exam today!!! Thanks so much for your videos...helped me so much!!!

[paulmac]

[ellemae]

Thank you so much for this. It really calmed down my test anxiety.

[ericacook]

I'm beyond grateful for content like this! I took a medical billing and coding course from my university and earned a certificate in Medical Billing, but that was a couple of years ago because I have since completed an Associate's degree in OTEC. So, now I'm prepping for my CPC exam. Watching videos like yours help take some of the mystery away from the test so I'm not so anxious about taking it. I've taken some online practice tests, and I've done well on them, but that's just not enough for me. Having experienced coders laying out exactly what to expect makes the whole thing a little less daunting. Thank you so much. I'm planning on scheduling my exam in a couple of weeks, and as nervous as I am, I'm excited too, since passing it opens up a world of opportunities! So, thank you for your videos! And good luck to anyone who is also getting ready to take their CPC (or any coding certification, for that matter.)
