Can't believe I'm almost finished. Anyone else testing in Utica on 3/1/13? Need to start hardcore studying.

Hey John, you are testing a month to the day after I do in Utica. I'll try to remember to find this thread and offer up any tips after I pass (positive reinforcement, not cockiness). I've been studying for about a month now and it is crazy (but doable!).

Good luck!

Congratulations! Question for both tnmarie and John....I am God Willing planning to test in Utica and I will also be done God Willing with my Fcca final by the end of December... my question is how long did it take you to get a cpne date from when you applied? I am just trying to get an idea.....thank you!

I got my date 24 hours after submitting my application. The average seems to be 24-48 hours.

As for study tips, there are tons of good ones on this forum. Things I absolutely recommend are doing a workshop, printing out the study guide (using dividers to break in down into more managable sections is highly advised), and setting up a sim lab in your home for practice. Break it down into as small ofchunks as possible (labs + PIE is how I'm doing it).
