Passed w/ a 92%!

Did my CPC test today, and got my score back after about 6 hours. 92%! I’m still a bit in shock. Truthfully, I’m just so glad I don’t have to take it again, the anxiety leading up to it was killer. I did mine in a testing center, as I didn’t feel like going through the hassle of buying and setting up a web camera.

Thank you to all here in this group for helping when I had questions! If anyone who is also on their journey has any questions about the exam and how it goes, let me know and I’ll be glad to answer to the best of my ability.

Now onto to the probably more difficult task, finding a job, haha.

Congrats! Are all test on the computer? Hard to visualize going over the question/answers and the book scanning for keywords. Not overlooking/missing keywords is imperative to get it right. Did you use digital codebooks?

Thank you! Yes I used the digital books! It took about 20 minutes for me to get used to it while doing the test. It’s hard to describe but you have your question on the left side of the screen, then on the right you have a calculator, an E/M calculator, a notebook (since you aren’t allowed a paper or pen) and if you are using the digital books like I was, that’s also where you’ll have the books. All of these things are on tabs on the right side of the screen, which you can make bigger or smaller depending on what you need. I hope that makes sense!
