Good luck Joe turtle! I'm sure you'll pass with flying colors. Looks like you really work hard at what you do. I have a question though, when you apply for your tourist at the embassy do you tell them that you're going there for the test or is it better not to. What if i get denied the visa?

ya, me too. i think i would fold under the pressure. haha. i'm not even familiar with the setting here, much less in Australia. Have you done the challenge test? Are you in the PHilippines? Where did you get your study material? Where did you take the test and how much is it? Thanks!!! I'm trying to get all the info before I send my application :)

study materials are the books recommended by CAS...it was posted previous pages ago...

the test a will cost you $200 something, the test b is about $500 something.

each module is valued at $ 902.00

Hey rissem!

Can you post the timetable of your application? How long after you got QNC's nod?

I wrote in the application that my reason for visiting Australia is to take the CAS exam. In my opinion, they have few reasons not to grant you the visa because the Part B of CAS, whether it is the one day exam or the 1 month placement, is ONLY available in Queensland.

Thank you to everyone in the forums for the encouragement. I will really need a lot of those.:redbeathe

I know all of us here will succeed and complete the Competency Assessment and be registered soon.

For those who have already taken the part 1 test, can you give us an example of one question in the test and what/how did you answer it.. tehehehe!

they say there's a short answer type test.. How long should be the answer?

Where can we find a sample questionnaire so that we will be in a way familiar before sitting for it?

Yes. This would be very very helpful to all of us who are hopefuls for challenge test a...i hope someone could post some example of questions...

Joeturtle...you are in my prayers. God Bless to us all!!!

Payments can be made through credit card for convenience. If you prefer, ANZ Bank could issue bank drafts in AU$.
