EASY QUIZZES
The ACE CPT Easy Quiz Series is a complete, professionally-designed study tool containing 150 carefully-crafted 2-choice questions organized into 10 progressive quiz sets. This series covers all major ACE CPT exam content domains with engaging, interactive, mobile-responsive assessments perfect for test preparation.
- These are EASIER than the real exam (2 choices vs. 4 choices)
- Use as confidence builders and knowledge checkers
- Supplement with official ACE study materials
- Take full-length practice exams before the real test
- Aim for 85%+ consistently before attempting the official exam
