Using AI to Study for the CPC Exam Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Which resources can candidates use during the CPC exam, as described in the guide?
   • Any AI chatbot on a second screen
   • Only memory, because the exam is closed book
   • Approved code books: the AMA CPT Professional Edition, ICD-10-CM and HCPCS Level II
   • A payer's online code lookup tool
2. Why might a chatbot give a CPT or ICD-10-CM code that is out of date?
   • Code sets update on a schedule, CPT on January 1 and ICD-10-CM on October 1, and training data can lag behind
   • Codes never change once published
   • Chatbots are forbidden to use current codes
   • AAPC deletes codes from chatbots
3. What is the correct lookup order for ICD-10-CM that the guide recommends practicing?
   • Tabular List only
   • Take the chatbot's code, then check the index
   • Alphabetic Index only, since it lists full codes
   • Alphabetic Index first, then confirm in the Tabular List
4. About how much time per question does the CPC's 100 questions in four hours allow?
   • About 1 minute
   • About 2.4 minutes
   • About 5 minutes
   • About 10 minutes
5. Which prompt best follows the guide's advice to use AI as a tutor rather than a code source?
   • 'Give me the final code for this case.'
   • 'Write my answer key for the real exam.'
   • 'List the index terms I should look up, but do not give the code.'
   • 'Memorize these codes for me.'
6. In CPT, how should you read an indented code under a parent code that contains a semicolon?
   • The text before the semicolon in the parent code is part of the indented code's descriptor
   • Ignore the parent code
   • Only the parent code can be reported
   • The semicolon means the code is deleted
7. What is a known weakness of AI-generated CPC practice questions?
   • They are always too easy
   • They cannot include anatomy
   • They are always copied from the real exam
   • They can have two defensible answers or a wrong answer key
8. Why does the guide say memorizing chatbot answers is a poor strategy?
   • The exam tests finding codes in your books under time pressure, and AI answers may be wrong
   • Memorization is banned by AAPC
   • Chatbots change their answers every hour
   • The exam has no coding questions
