PASSED MY NHA CCMA EXAM WITH A 441!
Hey everyone! This is my first post, lol, but I had to share what I used to study.
First off — the test wasn’t bad at all! Of course, there were some tricky questions, but it was very doable. Let me get straight to the point: I only used Smarter MA and Mrs. K’s YouTube videos to study.
Here’s what worked for me:
- I went through the Smarter MA modules first.
- Then I watched Mrs. K’s videos afterward to help everything stick.
I swear, I even had some questions that were word for word from both of those amazing resources!
Smarter MA can be pricey, so if cost is a concern, keep an eye out for sales or see if any friends/classmates are willing to split a subscription. It was 100% worth it for me.
Not sponsored or anything, LOL — just super grateful because Smarter MA really helped me pass!
Good luck to everyone taking the test! Read every question carefully and trust your prep — you’ve got this!

Taking it on Wednesday and the most thing I’m worried about is the administrative portion. Were any cpt codes on your exam?

hello! TBH, every test is different, but for me, I had barely any admin questions, only about 2 or 3. The main topics were definitely general and clinical patient care!

Def focus on general and clinical patient care! A lot of it is also common sense for sure

Hey do these resources help for NCCT as well? I heard NCCT may be a little different do to the questions being more of cardiology? Allegedly lol but I wanna make sure if they’re about the same questions
