CCM August 2016 Test

sdenney · Aug 14, 2016

Hi there,

I will be taking my exam in August as well. Kind of worried as its a new exam blueprint. I have read the core curriculum cmsa, and Ccm made easy, a few practice tests. Now I am working my way through the glossary of terms and will disect the new examination content. I was told that the practice exams sold by CCMC website are very helpful. There is one specifically for the test in August that has 100 questions. I plan on studying that next along with mometrix flash cards. What have you found helpful or have heard? I feel like the advice from others before wont be incredibly helpful because no one has taken the new exam yet. We also have to wait 2 months for our score! Good luck to you. Im sure with all your experience you will do great! ðŸ˜ŠSheena RN,BSN

Hi there! I actually deferred until December due to kids being home for the summer and little time to study. I have been studying today and I will tell you the book I find most helpful is the CCM Certification Made Easy (Second edition)....you mentioned this reference in your post. I had talked to the CCMC directly a few months back and they had said they did not update their test questions yet to coincide with the new test format.......I asked them then how in the heck can one study for the test? They had said they were working on it and I haven't checked since so maybe the questions you can purchase have been updated????? I sure hope so!!!! I'm going to go check this out! I read that about having to wait for the score....that really sucks. I have taken it in the past 1 1/2 years ago and did not pass...it was nice knowing that right away. The wait will be horrible! Good luck to you! When are you taking the test???????

Hi! I will be taking the test August 26th. Email the CCM made easy support and they will send you a 34 page document with the updated content. I am studying that right now. There is a practice test you can purchase now on the ccm website which is supposed to mimic the new content. I am planning on doing that next week. I found out from someone who took the test yesterday that we wont find out until Oct. 31st! Yikes!
