An additional comment I received off-line...once you leave the 60 point question, you can't return to it.  I found this to be true also.  Going into the exam, I thought I would be able to read both case studies first and then choose which one I wanted to start with.  Possibly this has been updated in the newer handbook?

I also took my test at a PearsonVue facility.  The people were very nice but their rules seemed to be driven more by the local policies rather than those of my exam.  Of course,  I am guessing in my little town I am the only person who will ever take the CRM at that facility.

Thanks!

Subject: RE: CRM STUDY TIPS FOR PART 6

I completed Part 6 in May and my comments are not study tips but rather "...I wish I'd known that before I sat down."

1.  Ensure that the ergonomics of the desk, chair, keyboard, etc. are at the optimum position for you.  Mine was really uncomfortable and after 4 hours of constant typing my arms were killing me.

2.  My test center would only allow 1 white board type item for taking notes and the pen they gave me was NOT fine point.  If I wanted another white board I had to give up the one I had...and the wait in the lobby was too long to waste time on this.  Ask for a fine point marker.  Or use really, really small handwriting.  Also, if you need to erase from the white board you will need a tissue (and some spit).

3.  I didn't realize that I couldn't copy/cut/paste to a different screen within the case study.  I am sure this is clearly spelled out in the handbook but I obviously missed this item and had to retype a lot of text because I needed it on the next part of the case.

4.  Even though the instructions you receive when you register state that only 1 piece of photo ID is required, I always had to provide 2 forms of photo ID.  Thank goodness I had others in my wallet that they would accept.
