Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CCMA vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How do the CCMA vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 40 CCMA terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the CCMA terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the NHA / PSI / Live Remote Proctoring content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
How many questions are on the CCMA exam?
NHA's CCMA test plan lists 180 total items: 150 scored questions and 30 pretest questions. You are not told which items are pretest during the exam.
How long is the CCMA exam?
The CCMA exam window is 3 hours. Because Clinical Patient Care is the biggest domain, candidates should pace for scenario-heavy clinical questions.
