Meeting
Thursday, January 19, 2012
The Falls Cites Chapter of APICS invites you to
our Professional Development Meeting on January 19, 2012.
Topic: De-Mystifying APICS Certification Examinations
Where do they get all the questions for our
certifications? Are some exams harder than others? Who decides which
questions are used? How do the certification review courses relate to
the exams? Why do they make 300 the minimum passing score? These are
just a few of the important and common questions that instructors and
examinees have about certification exams. We will discuss the
Certification Exam Committee process and structure, including how
questions and examinations are developed, how passing scores are
determined, who monitors exam performance, etc. Here is your chance to
ask and get answers to questions about this important APICS program.
