Questions about exam

by bkg98

I just took the Spring CCM exam...just wondering if anyone knows what the passing score is. Also, is it really true that 50 of the exam questions are not counted because they are "field questions"? Can anyone also tell me how soon to expect to hear from CCMC regarding the test results? Is it really 8-10 weeks? How soon can I expect to see passing names on the CCMC website database?

Any other information will be greatly appreciated....I just can't tell if I have passed or failed. Everyone taking the exam with me that day were unanimous in saying after all the studying they didn't feel the test questions were even close to the study guide questions and the format was completely different. One nurse even said after being a nurse for over 30 years...she couldn't bring any experience to answer the exam questions. Just about everyone thought that they did not pass and the exam was not pertinent to NURSE case managers in most cases.

Oh well, what done is done, just have to be patient about getting my results...just very anxious about it though
anyway...thanks in advance for any information.

Yes, it is true about the 50 questions. You should receive the results in 8 weeks. There are 2 different size envelopes that are mailed out, one for passing and one for not passing. I don't remember the passing score. Sorry.

I remember it was about eight weeks to get my results which seemed like the longest eight weeks in the world. If you pass, they send you a priority mail letter with your score, certificate, and a bunch of other stuff. I don't know about the failing as I lucked out when I took it (Fall of 2003). Good Luck!

Thanks for the info! Yes...I am on pins and needles right now just "dying" to find out how I did.
Can't tell by the test questions whether or not I passed...even the nurses who took it at the same time, with YEARS of experience said all the studying that they did and the experience that they have seemed worthless taking that exam. Oh well...we shall see. I have until the end of June to find out...seems like forever!

When I took the test, 5 years ago the test was score on bell curve, therefore there is no passing score, since it is all dependent on the answers the group submitted.

I agree with you, it was a very difficult test and almost impossible to study for. Alex
