The Brightwell Method

A certification exam isn't won by knowing more. It's won by being ready for the day itself. Every guide follows the same four steps, whatever exam you're sitting.

  1. 1

    Learn the why

    Plain-English lessons that teach the reasoning behind the answers, not a list to memorize.

  2. 2

    Prep what's tested

    Focus on the domains the exam actually weights, with practice questions in its real format.

  3. 3

    Master the clock

    Every certification exam is a race against time. We train the pace until it's automatic.

  4. 4

    Sit it before you sit it

    Full-length timed mocks in the online simulator, so exam day feels like something you've already done.

Practice like it's exam day

Every guide unlocks its own online exam simulator: timed mocks in the real format of that exam, and a rationale after every answer, so a wrong answer teaches you something.

  • Full-length mocks on the real clock
  • Every answer explained, right or wrong
  • On your phone, tablet or computer

The simulator isn't sold separately. The access link is printed inside each book.

Question 12 of 100E/M services

A new patient office visit is documented with a high level of medical decision making. Which CPT® code reports this encounter?

  • A99203
  • B99204
  • 99205
  • D99215

Why C

New-patient office visits are 99202 to 99205, scaled by medical decision making; high MDM is 99205. 99215 is the established-patient code, the trap in this question.

Illustration of a CPC simulator question: the rationale appears as soon as you answer.

Know the exam before exam day

Everyone walks in nervous. Nobody should walk in surprised by how the day works.
