Open the class page for scores, who practiced, and the topics and questions the class misses most.
What your students practice
The CCS is AHIMA's Certified Coding Specialist exam, the mastery-level credential for coders in hospitals and other facilities who code inpatient, outpatient and emergency department records. It has 107 questions, 97 scored and 10 unscored pretest items, in 4 hours at a Pearson VUE test center, and you can flag questions and move between them before you submit. The passing score is a scaled 300. Its five domains are Coding Knowledge and Skills (39 to 41 percent), Coding Documentation, Provider Queries, Regulatory Compliance and Information Technologies, with medical scenarios split across inpatient, outpatient and ED cases. You must bring the 2026 ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS and AMA CPT Professional code books.
Tigertest's practice follows AHIMA's CCS certification page, the CCS Exam Content Outline (effective May 1, 2024) and the 2026 required code book list, checked November 2026. Students train in short sets where missed questions come back until they are mastered, then take full practice tests.

Questions teachers ask
Is the CCS class free?
Yes. Classes are free for teachers. A student in your class also gets that test's full stats and every step of it at no charge.
Do my students need accounts?
No. A student opens your class link, types the name you know them by and starts practicing. An account is optional and keeps their progress across devices.
What do I see as the teacher?
Who practiced and when, each student's practice test scores, the CCS topics the class is weakest on, and every question the class answered with how many missed it and which wrong answer they picked.
Can I use my own questions too?
Yes. Any account can turn its own material into a Tigertest quiz and limit it to one class, so only your students can play it.
