How long is the CPC exam?

The 2023 CPC exam is 4 hours long, done in 1 sitting.

You can start and stop the exam at any time, and your progress will be automatically saved.

How can I get the best results from this practice exam?

On the real CPC, you'll be either in your own personal space, taking the exam on a video call with the rest of the test-takers, or in a live test center with other test takers. The 2023 exam is 100 questions, done in a single sitting of 4 hours long.

To get the best results from this practice test, treat this full-length practice exam as if it was the real thing. Find a quiet room, and carve out a solid block of four hours where you will have total quiet, just like if you were taking the real exam.

Turn off your phone and let friends and family know that you will be unavailable, because you are taking the time to practice for the CPC.

Finally, try to complete the test in a single sitting. It's okay to take bathroom breaks, just like on the real exam, but try to eat about 2 hours beforehand

Practice tests will help you get used to the length and material of the real CPC

One of the largest reasons students find the CPC exam challenging is because of the length of the exam.

4 hours is a long time to sit and answer test questions at one stretch!

Taking a real, full-length practice test will help you get used to the length of the exam, and help you get your routine right for test day.

Take this practice exam as if it was the real thing, and you won't be surprised on test day - you'll be a seasoned pro!

How many times can I take the practice exam?

As many times as you like!

For those of you who want to do your absolute best, we recommend taking 3-5 different practice exams over 2-3 months.

Taking 3-5 exams will help get you intimately familiar with the structure of the CPC, and let you know what material you need to study. You'll have plenty of opportunity to study in between exams, and on test day, the real CPC will feel like old hat.

Take this practice test as many times as you like, and be sure to check out the rest of our CPC exam preparation materials as well.
