Professionals for the CSP designation,
Reviewing test taking strategy, test format, scoring procedures, and recent
examination results.
* Identifying the principle reference materials available to prepare for the
Comprehersive Practice Examination.
* Discussing the range and scope of information covered in the
Comprehensive Practice Examination,
* Utilizing a "testing" format to review content materials.
* Providing en opportunity to practice solving analytical (math) problems.
Providing opportunities for discussion and questions.
Identifying limitations in exam preparation.
