for your exam, did any of you take more than 1 exam during an exam
period. If so, how many did you take, did you find it manageable, and
would you recommend doing so?<<

It was outstanding advice.<<
I took all 5 back in 2004 in the old "ScanTron" format, I passed 4 of 5
and, yes, it did help me see what I had to fine tune... so I would agree
with that "Dr. Langemo guy". He may know a thing or two, maybe he'll
write a book someday???
Seriously, it does all depend on your personal style, but if you are
willing to take the lump or two you get by not passing the first time, it
is an excellent strategy.
I would also agree with Jason regarding attending a prep seminar
and/or using the ICRM Prep product (available to chapters or usually
as a Pre-/Post- Con. It does well to ease the fears and prepare you
for the format of the exams as well as provide a solid "refresh" on the
annotated outline. If you haven't already done so, please download
the ICRM Handbook found here: http://www.icrm.org/wp-

Final.pdf
Best of luck, and we look forward to seeing your name among the new
CRMs very soon Phil!
