My advice is read the book, do the mock tests and pass first time – why bother taking any risks of failing???

Hey everybody!
Just passed the test! it was by far the easiest exam that I had ever seen. Less than 10 minutes and pass with all correct answers.:rofl: the only thing I did was that went through a sample test book...and ummmm that was pretty much it...anyway at least 3-4 hours (study time) is required to get 80-100%.

Thank you everybody for dropping your messages here and helping us...(invaluable 2 cents!)

Cheers,
K.

We got the message on their Web site (and not a letter). Do you know how long it's gonna take to have a ceremony date ?! I've heard of some terrible ceremony waiting times like 5 months!!!

Cheers,

Hey Gav,
It could be a good idea to use the tracking feature of their Web site, I got my results on the Web just in 72 hours. Don't worry about it - take it easy ;)
