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 hope you're right!!

I wish they would give it at a Sylvan Learning Center. I really like taking tests on the computer, b/c for one thing, you can bookmark a question to review before you turn it in. You can't possibly accidentally skip a question and fill in all those stupid dots wrong! No filling in stipd dots, no number two pencils, and you could take it whenever you wanted, after you get approved.

Plus, the seating we had was horrible! Chairs that swivel in front of a long table, designed for people who are 5' tall, and 120lbs or less. Several very large people were there, and I wasn't sure they were going to make it behind the table, heck, it was a tight squeeze for me too! And a miserable rainy day!!

Let's keep our fingers crossed!!!

Took the CCM exam today (whew!). I THINK I did ok on it (don't want to say it too loud, 'cause I might jinx it). Anyway, you folks out there who are planning to take it study anything AND everything that has to do with all the federal laws (e.g. Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, ERISA, COBRA, etc.), Life Care Planning, Vocational Training, Workman's Comp, and the concepts behind Utilization Review and Case Management. TIP: I took Vegas' advice and also read from cover to cover "The Case Manager's Handbook". That helped a lot too.....thanks, Vegas! =)

I have taken the CCM exam 4 times and failed each time by less than 4 points! It is different every time! I have tried prep courses and softward (datachem) neither have worked! I guess reading the case managers handbook might help!

It is an EXCELLENT resource. If you read it from FRONT TO BACK (I read it twice), it will help. =)

Has anyone taken the exam for this year and passed ? I have several friends who had taken the exam in April and have not received any results as of yet?!

Recently received results from CCM - PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!

Now where do you find jobs for CCM in Augusta, GA?

Had to take the exam twice before passing - not a difficult test but make sure you read the CM Handbbook ( this book helped me pass the second time around).
