    Walter & Group...

    [GH]  From Bob Rumpf :

    Hi Gordy & Group,
     
    May I add a huge personal "Amen" to Gary Eaton's comments regarding the MCI exams? The inconsistencies are mind boggling.
     
    Regards,
     
    Bob Rumpf

    Response to Gary Eaton;
     
    Gary, much of what you have said has basis in fact. I am the last guy to disagree.
    The current work on the MCI committee addresses many of your concerns. Our objective is to create an exam that clearly outlines the tasks, and makes the expectations for that task as clear as possible for BOTH the candidate and the examiner.
     
    I have seen copies of the CI exam floating around on the web. It is too late now to suggest that these tests are secret.
     
    The alternatives are to write new exams OR to make sure everyone who is interested get the exams so that they are prepared to write them. The idea being, that it is too late to hide them, so in fairness, everyone should have access to the same materials. Knowledge gets imparted either way.
     
    As we get nearer to completing the new CI practical test, I will be asking the Committee if this is an appropriate action to take. It is their decision, not mine as a single member. But fair distribution of information is key. Why would we want to put good candidates at a disadvantage in relation to those who are cheating?
