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.
