Hey Patrick,

Congrats on passing the test! I just got my materials (2nd ed. text, Master the Manual & sample test), or I'd have been interested.

You obviously did very well (congrats again!). I'm looking at taking the test around the beginning of May. How was it? Any tips?

Here's what I sent to someone who asked me the same question via email:

The test I took asked only for very broad, basic knowledge, and focused on a few core concepts. I swear, there were about ten questions on how women should not to supine sit-ups after the 1st trimester of pregnancy (all worded slightly differently) and another ten asking the difference between teacher and student focused instructors (where a student focused one is always very easy to pick out, and is always better).

You've got plenty of time to study. Each chapter took me an average of 2 hours to read, including highlighting stuff as I went along, so try to budget your time accordingly. The main thing is just to not worry.
