CertiPrep – CMA (AAMA) Exam Prep Book 2025–2026

Crush your CMA (AAMA) exam with a study guide that actually teaches you how to think like the test. CertiPrep – CMA (AAMA) Exam Prep Book 2025–2026 is your all-in-one, no-fluff companion for exam day. Designed to feel like a calm, knowledgeable instructor sitting beside you, this book breaks down the CMA (AAMA) exam into clear, manageable pieces—then trains you to recognize the patterns the test loves to use. Inside, you'll get complete coverage of all CMA (AAMA) exam domains. The General domain includes communication, psychology, ethics, legal concepts, patient education, cultural competence, safety, infection control, and quality improvement. The Administrative domain covers scheduling, insurance basics, billing, coding concepts, telephone skills, documentation, EHR fundamentals, and office operations. The Clinical domain walks you through vital signs, history taking, examinations, common procedures, pharmacology basics, emergencies, triage concepts, and supporting diagnostic tests. Content is organized so you always know why you're learning something and how it might appear on the exam. Each chapter follows a simple Learn ? Practice ? Understand cycle. Concise teaching sections highlight what the exam really cares about: patient safety, professionalism, scope of practice, communication, and practical clinical reasoning. Then you'll tackle 25 exam-style practice questions per chapter. These are written to feel like the real CMA (AAMA) exam, with realistic scenarios and plausible distractors that test whether you truly understand the concept instead of just memorizing facts. Every question includes a detailed explanation that walks you through why the correct answer is right and why the others are not. This repeated pattern trains your test-taking instincts and helps you spot the same ideas when they're asked in slightly different ways. At the end of the book, you'll find a full-length mock exam designed to mirror the real testing experience. Use it to check your readiness under timed conditions, identify weak spots before the real exam, and build confidence with realistic questions and rationales. This book is built for busy future CMAs who are juggling work, school, and life. You can use it as your primary study resource or as a powerful supplement to your medical assisting program. Clear headings and subheadings make it easy to quickly find topics you want to review. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on "What would I actually do in this situation?" rather than just memorizing lists. You'll see recurring themes: protect the patient, protect yourself, stay in scope, document clearly, communicate respectfully, and follow policy. Those are the habits the exam rewards—and the habits real employers count on. To get the most from this book, pair it with the official CMA (AAMA) certification exam content outline and your own course notes and clinical experience. You'll learn best if you read the teaching sections actively, answer the practice questions without peeking, study the rationales (especially for questions you got right by guessing), track your weak areas, revisit those chapters, and finish with the full mock exam to simulate test day.
