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!
