The practice test is an outstanding tool to help you prepare for your certification exam. There are fifty (50) questions in the practice test, and the questions represent the types of questions you’ll see on the final certification exam. Practice test questions have the same rigor as the final exam, as all practice test questions were developed in conjunction with the questions in the final exam.  You will earn one continuing education credit for completing the practice test.

Please note: The questions on the practice test come from RCA’s final exam question database, but are not used on current exams or have been retired from previous final exams. While the practice test questions come from RCA’s exam database, your performance on the practice test does not represent your actual exam results.

When you purchase the RCA practice test, you will take the test once. You will see your correct and incorrect answers – which will help you identify weaker areas that may require additional study to properly prepare for your final certification exam.

Regardless of whether you’re preparing for your CRC or CCS, the RCA practice test offers questions that cover topics relevant to both final exams.

Price: $59 non-refundable.  You will take the test once but will have unlimited access to your answers to help you prepare for your final certification exam.
