K.Gepper, I am actually leading a free webinar on Certification Options for Administrative Professionals on September 27. I'll be discussing the CAP and MOS certifications and will give information on my study groups too. I am going to post a separate thread about it, but you can register here:

Thanks everyone for the comments on the infographic. This is the first one I have ever designed. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Libby, I think there's several factors at play, including the release of the body of knowledge, which makes it easier to figure out the areas of the test as a whole. I do agree though that the increase in study groups online has helped with the pass rates (not just mine LOL, though I like to think that has made a contribution as well).
