About Daysheet

Daysheet is an independent, free study site for the Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) exam, the credential the National Healthcareer Association (NHA) issues: 112 original practice questions written to NHA’s 2021 test plan, each one answered blind before its key was accepted.

Who runs it

Daysheet is a small study resource published by the team behind the CMAA practice app. There is no author bio on this site, and that is deliberate: nobody here claims to hold the CMAA or a clinical license, so the site doesn’t invent a reviewer to put one on the page. What you can check is the method, below, and every answer explanation.

How the questions are built

Filed under a test-plan domain
Each item is filed under one of the 2021 CMAA test plan’s seven domains (10, 21, 17, 16, 21, 11 and 14 of the 110 scored items). Items that drifted into another domain were left out rather than relabeled.
Answered blind
In a separate pass the item is solved from the stem and options alone, with the key hidden. Of 210 drafts checked this way, 16 failed: the blind answer disagreed with the key, two options were defensible, or the rule behind the key was wrong.
Fixed or cut
Failed items never reach the site. One example: a draft keyed “stop the release on a verbal revocation” was cut, because HIPAA requires an authorization to be revoked in writing.
A note on every option
Each of the four options carries its own chart note — why the key is right and why each wrong pick fails. Where the correct option stood out by length alone, it was reworded so length gives nothing away.

The bank is weighted the way the exam is: the practice test gives D2 Communication and Professionalism and D5 Patient Encounter 11 slots each because they carry the most scored items, and D1 Foundational Knowledge and D6 Billing get 6 each because they carry the fewest.

What Daysheet is not

Not the exam’s publisher. NHA writes, delivers and scores the CMAA. Daysheet has no access to NHA’s item bank, and its questions are not recalled from anyone’s sitting.
Not a pass predictor. The end-of-day report counts on-time and rebooked slots by domain. It doesn’t convert to NHA’s scaled score, and nothing here says what number “passes”.
Not a training program. Eligibility pathway 1 asks for a medical administrative assistant training program; a practice site doesn’t count toward it. The certification page covers both pathways.
Not a substitute for NHA’s documents. Fees and testing policies change; check them with NHA before you register.

Found an error?

If a key looks wrong, the contact page says what to send — the domain code on the card and the question’s first words are enough to find it.
