	CAP Exam Waiting for Results - why does it take so long???	3		D. Bullis	As I've said many times before, today's certification candidate has is much shorter notification time. Back when I sat for the exam, the 1980s, you took the exam in May and results came out in August or sometimes September. Granted, the exam was very different at the time and one part had to be hand graded. Exams were not graded until all exams were in from all over the world. Thank you for today's computer world! by C. Hawkins Thursday, October 27, 2022
	Spring of 2022 CAP Exam	12		V. Williams	You choose the right mentor for sitting for the CAP exam. Marie is the best! Hope all went well, let us know when you receive your results! by A. Dickinson Wednesday, October 5, 2022

	Is Study.com or Mometrix any good for studying?	8		C. Cabral	Thank you!! I was a little concerned that it may be as their tests seemed completely off track. Am on your course which has been excellent! So will stick with that. Exam booked for 25 October! by C. Cabral Tuesday, September 13, 2022
	Body of Knowledge for CAP and PACE	6		T. Hanson	The PACE exam is definitely not a certification (though ASAP implies that it is certified, it is not). There is obviously overlap between the two exams. You would at least want to pick up IAAP's CAP Exam Study Guide as a starter material. If you have not started preparing for the exam yet, honestly, 8 weeks is a very tight turnaround. It can be done, but you should be prepared to study a good 8-12 hours a week going forward. If you would like information about my Fall (or Spring) study group, feel free to reach out to me in PM. You could still join, but just as an fyi, you would have a fair amount of reading to do to catch up. It's very doable, but it just requires commitment and time management to achieve. Good luck! by M. Herman Tuesday, August 16, 2022

	Sitting for the FALL 2022 CAP Exam	5		J. Morgan	Way back in 1997, when I first pursued what was then the Certified Professional Secretary exam, I had a study buddy who was a woman in her 50s with teenage daughters. That desire to show her girls that learning truly was lifelong and that they should constantly strive to stay current and improve themselves was her driving force and it really motivated her to continue when it got tough. You can definitely do this and I know you will be modeling awesome skills for your child! by M. Herman Thursday, August 11, 2022

	CAP Journey - Fall 2022 CAP Exam	4		J. Jacobs	That is interesting that you have ended up "stepping back" when you have switched companies. I guess I would wonder how that is happening.
