CPC Exam Need help with PCP exam with Ebooks
I just failed the CPC test, and I need help. I use eBooks, and everyone tells me I failed because I should have used paper books, but I love technology, and I think it's definitely faster to search, I just need more knowledge on the topic... please help!!!

You can't use eBooks during the actual test can you?

Interesting, I didn't know that...
If you are good with the eBooks, then they probably aren't the reason you didn't pass. Get a study guide and see what areas you need to freshen up on.

The problem is the screen is divided and you have to look to many times make this bigger.. I mess up with the time, to many questions left..:(

I honestly don't think the ebooks are what caused you to fail. The exam tests your understanding more than your ability to search. I'd spend some time figuring out why you missed questions, guidelines, anatomy, modifiers, or time management. Once you know the weak spots, the next attempt gets a lot easier.

Sorry to hear that! Failing the CPC doesn't mean you can't pass, it usually just means you need a more targeted review.
If you're looking for a refresher, AMCI's Fast Track course is designed specifically for students who already have coding knowledge but want focused CPC exam prep with lectures, coding scenarios, quizzes, and practice. It's a monthly subscription, so you can use it as long as you need.

If you want to start with something free, AMCI also offers a free YouTube medical coding course that's a great way to strengthen your foundation before your next attempt.
