CCM EXam, Questions and Tips

[CseMgr1]

I'm going to be taking the CCM Exam for the first time this Fall, and would like to hear from those who have taken it; i.e. what study materials (if any), did you find useful, and which areas of the test were the hardest? Thanks!:wink2:

I am so grateful for reading your message, I just tested on Saturday 7/24 and you information was so helpful!! I remember the sentinel event question and must have had the identical test......all of what you had was on there and I feel like I did better because of reading your information the night before. One question I did not know was who Medicaid was governed by. I guessed. I hope i guessed right. Most of the test seemed like common sense and 2 of the answers seemed to definitely NOT apply and 2 may have been right. Mostly only 1 answer seemed to pop out for me. Thank you very much!!

Glad the info helped you. In answer to a previous question, I do think 80% is passing. Don't know if I passed yet, still waiting. This 4-6 week wait is horrible. For folks who register now to take their tests in the future, there will be automatic grading of the exam when they're finished! Man, if I had only waited another month or two. But, still glad I got it over with. I'll be sure to let you know if I passed. I'll be praying for all of us!

Re: CCM EXam, Questions and Tips

I took the exam a week ago today,very anxious for results.I still don't understand why it takes so long.The test did not seem too bad,I praying that I passed.Does ayone know how many questions are the sample questions and how the test is graded?

[RN1Iam]

Totally agree! Have no clue why it takes this long. It took less time to get the results of my RN boards. Gees! If you ask me, anything more than 7 days is too long! It's been almost 3 weeks now, and no results yet. Wonder if the CCMC is aware that many times, employers are waiting for this certification before hiring nurses, which means everyone is in limbo. Big Fat Bummer, I tell ya!

I am hoping that the results will come out earlier than 4-6 weeks.Sometimes I feel as if I passed and sometimes I feel I did'nt.I had asked the Lord to design the test so that I could pass and I have to keep reminding myself of that prayer.Well at least the next testing group will have their results when they take the test.Does anyone know how the test is graded and how many you can miss to pass.You all hear anything post it.

being able to post and get responses hepls the wait.

It's been so helpful knowing you all are out there with the same concerns. I just checked the CCM list for my name and nothing yet. Just wishful thinking this early. We'll keep the positive thoughts!

well you all this is another week.This is the 3rd week for me but I know some others its the 4th week so hopefully some results will start coming in by end of this week or 1st of next week.

Hi everyone. I took the CCM exam on July 9 so I am approaching 5 weeks and still have not heard if I passed. I have called them several times to find out when the results will be posted. One person told me all of the tests are graded at the same time, so taking it early in the month did me NO GOOD! They said it will be 4-6 weeks from the last test day!! Has anyone heard anything different? Thanks

[live23]

is it CCM thats saying 4-6weeks from last test date?if so that means the last test date was 7/24,then results would be 8/24 or later.Oh its hard to wait.

[Lisa E]

Yes, I thought it would be 4 weeks from when each individual took the test, but that was not how it was explained to me. I was concerned because the date to apply for the December test is August 15, which is just around the corner. It would be nice to know before then! The wait has been terrible for me. I have been checking my dashboard everyday just in case she was wrong.

[live23]

That is also my concern that if i did not pass I would have wanted to apply to retake the test on August 15th,but hopefully we both passed,and maybe the results will be out sooner.I am checking the Dashboard and for a certificate.Ayway lets try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to relax and wait for the results.
