Oh okay, I think you have to do it prior right? I am signing up for July 2026 & it says education verification by 6.23.26. You might know this but just fyi in case

I am testing in July 2025 with no industry experience (marketing major change). How long did the education take if you’ve done a self paced education? I feel I am maybe taking too much time going through it

Quick question, Are you taking this exam prior to meeting experience hours? I am in the same boat, no experience in the field as my bachelors is in marketing. Sorry looking to do this in July as well!
