Content Outline
| All computer-based examinations
(CCA, RHIT, RHIA, CHP, CHS, CHPS) consist of four-option, multiple-choice
questions written at three different cognitive levels: recall, application,
and analysis. These levels represent an organized way to identify the
performance that practitioners will utilize on the job. An explanation
of the three cognitive levels is provided below:
| Cognitive Level |

basic theories, principles, and processes. |
| Application (AP) |

Apply concepts and principles to new situations; recognize relationships
among data; apply laws and theories to practical situations; calculate
solutions to mathematical problems; interpret charts and translate
graphic data; classify items; interpret information. |
| Analysis (AN) |
To measure the application of knowledge to solving a specific problem
and the assembly of various elements into a meaningful whole. |
Select an appropriate solution for responsive action; revise policy,
