Hello,

I need some help. I managed to pass the CPC, CRC and COC all my first try with flying colors but the CIC exam I took last month I failed and got 59% I was 11% close to passing. I need some help and guidance when it comes to preaparing for this exam. I literally studied on my own for all three exams and two of them. I really need a tutor to help me with the CIC. I tried studying for this exam on my own and it did not help me.

I literally studied on my own for all three exams and two of them I had help from Victoria Mull who is awesome I recommend checking her out as well. Sadly she does not have a CIC exam prep course and I really need a tutor to help me with the CIC. I tried studying for this exam on my own and it did not help me.

Thank you for the post with great information. I to think the CIC is tough but have not taken the exam. The way CCO is presenting their course is easier to understand and I recommend them. Good luck to both of us.
 
Pass any exam

I took the AAPC CIC course when they offered it free to members & it was a difficult course if you have no inpatient experience.

I paid the 100 something dollars for the CIC course I feel that I really need a tutor for this exam. Is there someone I can talk to? I did originally thought about the AAPC CIC prep course but it is so expensive this was my cheapest and best option. I don’t see as many people wanting to take this exam as much as the other three that I already passed

You did not purchase a course you purchased a Blitz review.

When the Exams are hundreds of dollars per attempt you need to make sure you are fully prepared.

Many people like you have had some sort of training - perhaps a few years ago - or have experience and are wondering if they really need a full Course or if a Review Blitz and some studying would be enough to pass the AAPC exam.

We recommend that you take a free Practice Exam for your desired credential in two hours and see how you score to decide.

If you score low - like below 65 or less - you may want to consider taking a full Course to relearn the material.

If you score 65 or higher, then you may want to consider the Review Blitz with Practice Exams until you're scoring an 85% per the CCO Proven Process.

A Review Blitz includes approximately two (2) days of material. They are not a substitute for a full course and using them exclusively as a tool for passing the AAPC without a prior full course will result in a failing score. The Review Blitzes are only meant to refine, review and refresh existing knowledge from a full course taken at CCO or somewhere else. It is not a full course nor do we advertise it as such anywhere. It also teaches exam strategy and test-taking tips.

A Full Course includes approximately 40-80 hours of core material meant to teach the material from scratch. They also include a Review Blitz and one Practice Exam.

Do I Need a Review Blitz or a Full Course?
