Congratulations to the new test takers!
October 11, 2011
I hope all of those out there who took the exam this year survived and will soon learn they all kicked butt! Congratulations for studying, working hard and surviving!
I wanted to take this time to also make some comments about our lack of action on the blog.
I could say that life has been busy (because it has) or work has been busy (because it has) but mainly I have to admit some of my fire about this topic has started to loose its intensity. Before I never really understood how people who had already taken and passed the exam were not affected by what was going on with the exam, what questions were on it and how the format had changed. I remember thinking how the exam speaks to how credible our profession is and if this exam seems to be based on nothing, how can we say this certification means anything? How can people not care?
Well I realize now that once you pass the exam and you are not living in that space of teaching yourself Bays again and memorizing incidence numbers again, it’s easy to move on and forget. I used to think about the exam every day and how it was scored every day, but now that it is over I go very long without thinking about it, almost to the point of forgetting about it.
That being said, I intend on continuing this forum to discuss the exam, how it affects those that take it and let it be a place for people to say how they feel about the exam after they take it.
Congratulations again to all the test takers. Feel free to leave a comment about your experience.
