About this ebook
You have an NCMA date. Hold it. Between now and then: 540 questions with every option explained. Three timed practice exams at the exam's 125-item scored length. A 12-day plan, diagnostic first. No login, no expiry.
We built this the way a program director runs a medical assisting review, not the way a shelf gets filled. Our source is NCCT's Detailed Test Plan, effective January 2024: 180 minutes, 150 items, 125 of them scored. Clinical Medical Procedures takes 58 percent of that score. Law and Ethics takes 16, ahead of Pharmacology and General Medical Knowledge at 14 and Medical Administrative Duties at 12. Twelve days means a diagnostic plus eleven teaching days, and seven of those eleven sit inside the clinical domain. Hold this book against NCCT's published test plan, domain by domain. We would rather you did.
What's inside
A 25-question diagnostic on the first evening. Half an hour, and you know whether your clinical work or your law and ethics is the weak point.
The Safe-Procedure Check. Verify, prepare, perform, document: four steps that protect the patient and the chart. When the exam asks about a procedure you have not done in months, the check still tells you what comes next.
540 original questions, weighted the way NCCT weights the paper. Each rationale names the reasoning behind the right answer and the error each wrong option represents.
Three practice exams at 125 questions, timed, the exam's scored length. Two cumulative reviews sit ahead of them, pulling week one back before it fades.
Dosage calculation worked, not just answered. Every step is shown, so the arithmetic on test day is something you have already done in ink.
Cards you can print or keep on your phone. Vital-sign ranges, injection sites and angles, the order of draw, the dosage formula, a scope-of-practice sheet, and HIPAA on one page. Maybe you have bought a medical assisting guide before and found a glossary with a quiz at the back. Give this one three evenings. If the diagnostic tells you nothing new about your clinical gaps, put it down. One hour, gone, and nothing else.
Three kinds of reader do well with it. A student finishing an NCCT-eligible program. An experienced assistant sitting the exam on the work-experience route. Someone back after a close result. If injections and vitals are already your day job, start at Day 9.
Day 4 is fiddly: injection routes, angles, needle gauges, and the sites that go with each. You'll see why it earns a whole evening. Downloaded once, yours to keep.

About the author
Passmark builds one kind of book: the one that makes your study hours count. We start from a simple conviction — a certification exam is a skills test, not a memory test — so we never hand you a wall of facts to reread. Our method comes from the science of how memory actually holds: you learn by retrieving, not rereading; you revisit on a widening schedule so it sticks; every answer is explained, right and wrong, so you keep the reasoning; and a diagnostic points your hours where they will move your score. We read each exam's current blueprint ourselves, write every question from scratch, and check every number in the book — question counts, domain weights, practice tests — against the finished pages, not the marketing. When an exam changes, our books change with it.
