Full disclosure: I haven't passed part 6 yet, but I think the test is very worthwhile, so I'm sticking with it until I pass.  

I agree that the mailroom part and the forms part are not very relevant to records management, whether or not any records managers still do them, but I'll leave it to the regents to decide when they should be removed. In my career I've been responsible for both, but not in the past 15 years.

I don't agree on removing the microforms questions.  I think it would be embarrassing to call yourself a records manager and not know what an aperture card was, or what fiche is.  Just because a technology has become less common doesn't mean that a records manager isn't going to have to deal with them, all of them.  There is a lot of tech history sitting in off site storage.

Jesse, a fresh out of college records clerk would not be eligible to take the test, so no worries there.

The above are my opinions, possibly not the same as my employers, who are fantastic!
