Two from the bank, answered.

Real items, with the answer marked and the reason written out — the same format as all 22.

Clinical Competency

What is the normal resting adult pulse rate?

  1. A40 to 60 beats per minute
  2. B50 to 90 beats per minute
  3. C60 to 100 beats per minuteCorrect
  4. D100 to 120 beats per minute

Why: The normal resting adult heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. A rate below 60 is bradycardia and a rate above 100 is tachycardia. Athletes may normally run lower, but the standard reference range tested on the exam is 60-100.

Administrative

Which code set is used to report the DIAGNOSIS or reason for a patient's visit?

  1. ACPT
  2. BHCPCS Level II
  3. CICD-10-CMCorrect
  4. DNDC

Why: ICD-10-CM codes describe diagnoses — the why of the encounter. CPT codes describe procedures and services performed, and HCPCS Level II covers supplies, equipment, and certain drugs. Linking the correct ICD-10-CM code to the CPT code establishes medical necessity.

Questions

Asked before starting.

Is the practice really free, or does it stop after a few questions?

All 22 questions, the timed mock and the report are free with no sign-up. A free account only adds saving your progress.

Is your mock the same as the real CMA (AAMA) Certified Medical Assistant?

No. Ours is 22 questions in 160 minutes; the real exam is 200 questions in 160 minutes. Use the mock for stamina and section timing, not as a score predictor.
