FCCA ??

[Hooked on ER]

i should receive my fcca (booklet?) next week. i really can't find much info about this on ec's website. what is it exactly? how much time should be spent on it? how critical are they when grading? any info would be appreciated!:confused:

The FCCA packet IMO is something that helps prepare you for the CPNE. All the things you should have learned or learned seems to be touched upon. I spent about 3 days on it~4-5 hrs (I couldn't do it in all one setting- my mind needed a break). There is no book to look for the answers- it is truly a competency exam and critical thinking. I don't think the grading is THAT bad because it's a pass/fail.

Guess I'm doing it backwards:bugeyes: I'm actually getting my packet the day after I return from the CPNE. Since I got a cancellation date quicker than I anticipated I didn't want to have to focus on that as well as studying for the CPNE.
