Hi Ana,

Yes, that's what I suspect too.

Over the last six months I have read numerous reports that this exam was a "no-brainer", and that it could be taken "cold". But more recently I have seen several reports of people scoring in the low 50s, barely passing, or even failing altogether.

The bottom line is, you shouldn't take ANY of these exams for granted. They CAN and WILL bite you in the butt unless you glue their mouths shut with STUDY!!!


Perhaps as a side product of this sense that the exam is "easy", there doesn't seem to be very much specific advice about it. It seems people thought it was so easy that there was no need to report anything other than "it's easy"...and that is the extent of the feedback I have been able to find.

I'm hoping that some who have already taken the exam might be able to post some specific advice, rather than the more general "Instantcert is enough", or "it's easy".

Anyone?
