If you are planning to take the CPHIMS Examination, the Self-Assessment Examination (SAE) provides an excellent opportunity to become familiar with the format of the software used to administer this exam, as well as the type of items used on the examination. The questions on the SAE are presented in the same computer format as the CPHIMS examination. This is very valuable in alleviating fears created by not knowing what to expect.

The SAE is also an excellent study tool for examination candidates, credentialed practitioners, students, and anyone interested in measuring and sharpening their individual performance.

This 100-question online practice examination was designed to match the cognitive and content areas of the CPHIMS examination. Developed using the same procedures as the actual CPHIMS examination, the SAE conforms to the exam specification, both in terms of content and average difficulty level.

Using the CPHIMS SAE in conjunction with careful study of the material can significantly increase your ability to score at a high level on the CPHIMS examination. Please note, however, that while the questions were developed in the same manner, none of the questions in the SAE were actually administered to CPHIMS examination candidates. The SAE is not intended to be a substitute for studying for the CPHIMS examination. Additionally, the score you receive on the SAE may not predict the score you will obtain on the CPHIMS examination because of the difference in testing conditions. Your individual results will remain confidential.

Offered as a benefit of membership, the price of this online SAE is $115 for HIMSS members and $150 for non-members. This includes access to the SAE as well as your individual and confidential SAE results. Should you select an answer that is not correct, the test provides the reason why the answer you chose is not considered the best. After completing the SAE, you will receive several score reports via email. These reports can help guide your test preparation by highlighting the examination topics that you scored well in and those that need improvement.

To take the SAE via the Internet, simply visit the LXR Store Web site. Once purchase is made with a major credit card, you will receive the link to the SAE and your private passcode via email.

For your convenience, the SAE can be accessed as many times as you like, 24 hours a day, for 90 days from the time of purchase. However, once you complete the SAE and receive the results you will not be able to access it again.

To take the SAE via the Web, you must have Internet Explorer (4.0 or higher) or Netscape Navigator (6.0 or higher) with the “cookies enabled” feature selected. Internet Explorer 5.0 or 5.5 is highly recommended as it will provide you with the best online experience while using the CPHIMS SAE.
