	Fall 2017 CAP results	20		A. Thompson	Wow, I haven't been on here in quite a while! I received my CAP results email about two weeks ago, and I passed! I was so shocked and excited, I almost jumped out of my chair at work and did my happy dance! Fortunately I didn't do that, but I did squeal a little bit, I'm not gonna lie! I was wondering if anyone knows if the CAP will be entered onto our membership cards by IAAP, or are we supposed to edit them ourselves and, if so, how do we do that? Thank :) by C. Rauscher Tuesday, October 31, 2017
	Official Fall 2017 CAP Results	2		D. Behler	Congratulations to everyone that passed the CAP exam! It's quite an accomplishment and you should be proud of yourself. To those that didn't pass, don't give up. Study hard and take that exam again. It's not an easy exam to pass and you are not alone! Study, study, study. Good luck to you in advance for the next time you take the exam and PASS! by S. Plarske Friday, October 27, 2017

	Come on CAP 2017!	7		K. Cozzens	It is an exciting, terrifying, exhilarating, overwhelming feeling, but what an amazing journey to embark on and finally complete!!! I have faith I'll be seeing those initials after your names! :DMarie by M. Herman Thursday, October 5, 2017
	Sept. 2017 CAP Exam Cram - Registration Now Open	8		M. Herman	Marie, before I sit for my exam on the 28th, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you, sincerely, for all your countless hours of time and attention during the study group! I know I had several questions along the way and I very much appreciate your time and especially your patience in responding to graciously to each of them! I admit that, unfortunately, up until a few days ago I really didn't understand the basic make-up of the actual exam and erroneously thought it was "based" on the study guide. I understand that it is more of a confirmation of what I, as the test taker, already know about the administrative profession over all rather than what was covered specifically in the study guide, as well as those areas with which I am not so familiar or have not performed over my extensive administrative career, which actually makes me feel better about sitting for the exam. I have done some intense reading and researching since then and now understand the process. I truly think I am as prepared as I can be to take the exam, but I also know there are a few areas that I do need to concentrate more specifically on, which I intend to do between now and the 28th. But since I anticipate being extremely focused for the next week or so on my trouble spots, I wanted to be sure to take a moment to thank you for all you hard work and patience! I truly believe that had I not participated in the study group, I would probably "think" I was ready to take the exam, but that belief would have been misguided since it would have been based on my belief that the exam was based on the study guide itself. Now that you've clarified that that is not the case, I can better prepare myself mentally and emotionally to not "freak out" when I sit in front of the computer on the 28th! So for all these things, I THANK YOU! C. by C. Rauscher Tuesday, September 19, 2017

	DC/MD/ VA CAP candidates study session - September exam. Any interest?	6		K. Foley	I have received some interest in a review boot camp but not enough for Fall 2017 exam. If you want to be added to the list for updates for a review boot camp for Spring 2018, let me know. Traditionally, I've held this course the Saturday of the MLK, Jr. holiday weekend. Most likely I will keep to this schedule the following Saturday as a back-up for snow day. That would make the dates, Saturday 1/13, the make-up date if necessary would be 1/20. This will be limited to 10 persons and location to be finalized. by K. Foley Wednesday, August 9, 2017

	Why I chose to sit for the CAP Exam	3		S. Webb	Sherise, congratulations on your decision to sit for the CAP exam. I empathize with your experience with an employer that perceives admins as part of the furniture rather than part of the team. I admire your decision to set a goal and take each step toward fulfillment. I have no doubt you will succeed in your CAP journey. Remember, be nice to yourself, as it's been a while since you've had to study for an exam; always remember you know more than you think you do; and whatever the outcome you are a success story. Best of luck on your journey, Pearl by P. Taylor Friday, June 2, 2017
