FREE AICP Exam Study Session



Friday, March 19, 2010

9:00am – 4:30pm




Sponsored by: Illinois Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA-IL)




The APA-IL 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.   



This session will include:
