SIIM - Test Time

ABII is running the Pilot Exam for the CIIP Certification today.

Yikes! rumors are running rampant as to the difficulty of the test. But if the content is anything similar to the level of knowledge I've seen here everyone should be fine...trouble is that anyone with any standing around here keeps saying that they haven't seen any test questions and that their presentations are NOT and CANNOT be depended on to provide adequate preparation.

So what was the pre-conference symposium about - did I waste $200?

this thing may be a crap-shoot...

The good news is when I fail the thing I can retake it in September for 1/2 price...

Time to go to the trade show floor and grab lunch and schwag...

Good Luck on the exam everyone! You just may need it!
