	CAP Accreditation Progress --	16		D. Behler	I saw a LinkedIn post that CAP is no longer NCAA accredited. I've searched but haven't found confirmation. Is it true?Link to post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7158832547957760001?updateEntityUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_updateV2%3A%28urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7158832547957760001%2CFEED_DETAIL%2CEMPTY%2CDEFAULT%2Cfalse%29 by A.

	Passed the Spring 2026 CAP Exam	10		R. Banks	I am so very happy that I was able to share your journey and be able to see you cross the finish line. :) by M. Herman Wednesday, June 10, 2026
	Fall 2026 Exam prep	7		S. Raber	The practice exam can be useful as a tool to identify areas where you might want to focus, but too many students use it as a weapon to undermine their confidence when they don't do as well as they were expecting. As for the study guide, I would just add a note that the writers of the study guide did not have access to the exam questions. They are writing the guide based on the body of knowledge. That's why it can sometimes feel like there is a disconnect. by M. Herman Wednesday, June 10, 2026

	2026 Spring CAP Candidate - How are you feeling?	1		D. Bullis	You got this friends! You know more than you think you do. Remember an 80 is passing just as much as a 95 or 100%. Take the CAPStones after to take a deeper dive into the areas you scored lower on. Don't doubt your own knowledge. by L. Jaycox Tuesday, February 24, 2026
	CAP 2026 Spring Exam	12		E. Staton	I took the Fall 2024 CAP Exam and didn’t pass. I didn’t do well at all. I only studied the Study Guide, so this time I am taking Marie Herman’s Prep Course. I signed up very late but going to try this CAP Exam again! by D. Martin Wednesday, January 14, 2026

	Preparing to Pass the Spring 2026 CAP Certification	5		T. Cabrera	Years ago, when I was contemplating signing up for the exam, I knew once I paid for it there was no going back.
