I was very excited to track this blog with my studying but I have been so busy studying that I guess I slacked off a bit on it. Officially, we have about 5 days until the exam on Saturday and I still want to keep studying. I read from the CCHRA discussion that their practice tests are much harder than the actual exam so I am crossing my fingers on that one (because their exams are very challenging!!!). I'm doing well with the Canadian HR Press study guides (I have the 2010, 2009, 2007 and 2006 ones - but they are very similar so save your money!!). Saturday is the big day!
It's a little disappointing that there aren't more resources for this exam. I know Human Resources is a growing field but I felt that the information is limited so hopefully we will see more growth in the future.
I read that the May 1 writing has record numbers and I know from people I spoke with it is because people are either 1) trying to get their certification (at least the NKE) before the January 2011 implementation of the degree requirement 2) this is the last writing for the NPPA (at least in Ontario). I have a degree so I have no worries there but I need to write the NPPA since I graduated in 2008 and they require 3 years of solid experience. I heard if you fail the NPPA (always good to know these things!) the HRPA has a back up plan to allow people to do a rewrite. Nothing has been communicated but that's what I heard.
Okay! Backt to the grind! 5 more days of this studying and then SUMMER! haha
Good luck!
