Free AICP Exam Study Session


Friday, October 1st, 2010

Sponsored by:


 


 

The Illinois Chapter of APA is offering an 
exciting and effective all-day session for AICP exam test-takers led by the 
creators of Planningprep.  The ultimate goal of 
the workshop is to provide a thorough look at the exam and its major (typical) 
topic areas, to make candidates aware of the format and difficulty of test 
questions, and to provide strong, focused direction for individual study and 
preparation.  The program helps candidates focus on topics 
that may show up on the exam they take. These workshops have proven to be an 
invaluable part of the preparation process for candidates in past years.

  Overview of the structure of the exam
  
  
  Potential areas of focus for the exam
