Experience shows that those who do not practice with the format and mechanics of managing the patients in CCS are likely to be at a disadvantage when completing the cases under standardized testing conditions. It is essential that you become familiar with both the software interface and the background information provided.

Practice with CCS cases can have a positive impact on performance. You will be better prepared to manage CCS cases if you practice with the CCS software on the Sample Test Questions page prior to taking the examination. Each case will be presented in a consistent format and appearance the patient management options will be the same in all cases. You will use the software to manage one patient at a time. This overview, in combination with Common Questions, software instructions, and practice cases is intended to prepare you for an examination that includes Computer-based Case Simulations (CCS) software.
