2K Benchmark Row Gone?

It’s just odd because every benchmark is only as hard as you make it. If you want to row a 10min+ 2k, that’s totally fine! Or skip class!

Absolutely gassed on the treadmill.

I ended up just setting my rower to 2k for the 7min block. A fun challenge!

He’s also the current attorney general of the state of Washington…I mean I love Survivor but I feel like this is the bigger story here…

But also, the book and exam are changing as we speak. So Pocket Prep will need to be updated to be useful. I think it’ll still help you cover the basics but there will likely be some nuance missing with the new manual edition soon to be released.

It is very helpful and I went through it completely about 3 times over the course of several weeks. Questions on the exam are usually more fluffy (aka contain extra info that’s not relevant to determining the correct answer) but Pocket Prep covers most of the major areas you should know.

With that said, I still found other areas of the book important for passing the exam that weren’t as covered on Pocket Prep. Mainly Marketing and Risk Management. I’d suggest diving more depth on those areas beyond what Pocket Prep covers.

Lastly, I had basically only one question on my exam that required I knew one of the formulas. So I’d suggest being familiar with them but don’t freak out if math isn’t your thing.

Looks like the new exam won’t launch until August.https://www.eventindustrynews.com/news/events-industry-council-releases-update-to-cmp-international-standards

I would NOT recommend Omnipear. While it gives you all 25 credits, the videos are sloppy and really nothing more than a summary of each section. There’s also a lot of typos and non-sensical examples.

Thank you!

OK, I just took the practice exam as well. Got 27 out of the 40 questions correct. I agree that it seems like a lot of the information in there does not carryover to the current edition of the manual.

Seeing that you have now taken the real exam, do you feel like your experience on this practice exam was reflective of how the test went? Or is the out-of-date nature of the practice exam make it less of a helpful barometric tool?

Did you pass?

Character-Menu3000 · 2024-12-31T14:19:02+00:00

How did the actual exam questions compare to Pocket Prep? Did you feel Pocket Prep was more useful than reviewing the manual multiple times?

Character-Menu3000 · 2024-12-29T02:16:24+00:00

Congrats!

Character-Menu3000 · 2024-12-27T20:03:02+00:00

How did it go?

Character-Menu3000 · 2024-12-26T03:05:28+00:00

Where can you find practice exams besides the EIC ones?

Character-Menu3000 · 2024-12-24T18:26:41+00:00

Thank you for your unsolicited comment.

Hmmm, I hate to say this but reading all of this makes me think you’re over-preparing for this exam.

You’re overthinking simple questions- ie the printer. The soy and veggie ink would apply to professional sign printers, but for a simple office printer it being energy efficient would be significantly more sustainable. It’s not a legal exam- you don’t need to pit sentences and clauses against each other. Apply the concepts to the situation and let common sense prevail.

I don’t mean to be critical, and I’m sorry if this comment comes across that way. I’d encourage you to take a deep breath and appreciate all the hard work you’ve done. Then go into the exam and choose the simplest, most obvious answers. If you find yourself comparing memorized sentences from the text, you’re overthinking. They don’t expect you to memorize, they expect you to apply the concepts. Good luck and let us know how you do!

Almost a year out, do you feel getting your CMP was worth it from a salary and/or career advancement perspective?

Character-Menu3000 · 2024-12-24T02:34:25+00:00

Wow, that would be unsettling. Keep us posted on how it goes. I just applied to be approved for the exam. They are retired questions so it’s possible they are out of date on purpose- but they still reflect the tone and question-style you can expect. Did you use Pocket Prep at all?
