do not buy this book,

This review is from: CCS Coding Exam Review 2007: The Certification Step, 1e (CCS Coding Exam Review: The Certification Step (W/CD)) (Paperback)
I bought three CCS review guides to prepare for the CCS exam. This one was NO help whatsoever. I had been studying with my other two books (AHIMA's and Thompson's) and picked this one up the weekend before the test. I liked that it had CCS-like exams to take on a CD. I was studying with a friend of mine so we both decided to take the pre-test. This was the day before we took the exam. I scored -103, yes negative 103 and she scored 30, meaning we both flunked. We were so discouraged. so threw that book aside and called it a day. The CD and the book gave us no hint as to what we did wrong with the test, what we needed to study further. No help whatsoever.
We both took the CCS the next day and passed with flying colors. If we had let this book discourage us we would not now be both CCS certified. If I could give it no stars I would

By Dorothy "Dorothy" (North Bend, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CCS Coding Exam Review 2007: The Certification Step, 1e (CCS Coding Exam Review: The Certification Step (W/CD)) (Paperback)
Even though I have not yet taken the exam, I have found the book to be an excellent resource before the exam, and will continue to use the book as a reference book after I take the exam. Very user friendly.

I think this book would be great for a classroom but I am just using it to study for the exam on my own. I emailed the company for the answers to the questions in the book and they said they could not give them to me. I don't recommend this book if you are not in a classroom with it.

I agree with the above reviews. I score in the negatives and can't learn from my mistakes? I don't understand the reasoning behind that.

CSS Exam Prep,
By EUGENIA ROSENBAUM (Pensacola, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: CCS Coding Exam Review 2007: The Certification Step, 1e (CCS Coding Exam Review: The Certification Step (W/CD)) (Paperback)
The book is very complete as information with many details that one would need refreshing every so often. Each chapter has a test, a very good test I can say. The downfall is the CD; there is no feed back to your answers, only the percentage you achieved. That may not be enough for someone who is trying to learn. We do learn from our mistakes, so no feed back, how would one know what did wrong?
The CD is the downfall for this book. |
