About the Study Guide
Ace the CMC®!: You Can Do It! Study Guide was designed to serve as a succinct guide following AACN’s test blueprint for the CMC® examination. Updated in 2022, the Second Edition was purposely written using only bullet points containing key information. The book includes 100 practice questions with answers & rationale! The key to success is not only having the core knowledge in Cardiac Medicine, but also practicing as many questions as possible. Understanding rationale for correct & incorrect answers will enhance test taking strategies.
