Correct.

I tested at the end of the compliance school on 10/27/12 and recieved my results 11/19/12.

I also took the test in Georgia after the school and received my resutls on Nov. 19th. I am happy to say that I passed. I got a package today with a certificate and CRCM pin. I also got a seperate letter showing the results broken down by sections.

You need a 71 or better to pass.

Wishing the best to all to took the exam.

Thank you!!! I was getting a little concerned! I took a proctored exam on 11/05/12.

Okay, this is killing me. It has been almost a week since the others got their results. If the proctored test was a week behind we should be hearing soon?? Everytime an email hits my inbox I am afraid to look at it. Hope we will hear soon.

I feel your pain, but....

The proctored exam was a different test altogether, so they have to analyze it all over again, including reviewing the comments and deciding whether or not to throw out questions due to the comments received and potential flaws in the questions themselves. It could be that the proctored exam had more comments than the other test.

Hang in there. We'll get the results soon enough.

I was talking to a coworker this afternoon about this, and I thought tomorrow would be the day. Figured we wouldn't get results the week of Thanksgiving but possibly this week...and tomorrow is Friday!!!

I'm going to be glued to my email all day long...

:crosses appendages for the test takers:

Ditto! I think today is going to be REALLY unproductive for me (and hopefully we'll hear something today or it's just going to get worse until we get our results!)

Good luck guys.

I'm glad mine came earlier than expected so I didn't have time to get nervous.

I'm sure you all did well.

The same for me, been looking at my email since the morning. I took the exam on the 2nd, this is technically the end of the 4th week! I feel like the process is as complex as figuring out the Florida Primary election results...

For what it's worth, in 2010 when I took the test, the e-mail came in on Sunday. At that point, I didn't have access to bank e-mail when I was out of the office, but started to see folks here on BOL post they had received their results. Needless to say, I got in the car and drove to my office. Couldn't wait until Monday.

Good luck to everyone!

For this reason, I will not be accessing BOL from home until I get my results......

ditto Dani!

I took the exam on 11/2/12, I am hoping today is the day! No news yet.

Guess I will be signing in from home this weekend. Who would have thought they would send results on Sunday?

This is nerve racking!! I hate waiting. In my opinion the waiting has been almost as painful as the actual exam!

I agree C1979. I'm starting to think this won't be the day, so I have now put in my headphones, turned on some Avett Brothers, and will try to enjoy what is left of my workday.

Anyone heard anything yet who took the exam on 11/2? This waiting is driving me crazy. I want to know if I passed so I can put this behind me or if I need to keep studying and not forget all the information to prepare to take it again...

I'm actually just preparing for the CRCM designation examination. ABA offered a study guide: The Reference Guide to Regulatory Compliance

It states that the study guide carries 30 hours of credits, which is a plus towards the 80 required, but how useful is this study guide? It it worth it? Did anyone find it helpful in preparing for the examination?

Any other suggested study guide materials for the CRCM examination? Anything to stay away from?

I used my study guide until it was dog-eared. I also answered all of the questions in the book, and went and checked my answers. Some people prefer the online manual prep class. I lked to bring my big book to the pool.

Which study guide did you use? The one I referenced above, or something similar?

I took the online course which uses the reference guide. On the whole, I HATED the reference guide. It is just the reg put in outline form. That medium doesn't work for me, as I'm a tactile/application learner. If outlines work for you, then get it. The section questions were good, but pretty hard in some cases. That part helped me the most from the reference guide. The online course was good. I found the webinars most helpful with respect to areas that would be on the test. I also always attended the live webinars to make sure I was able to ask off the cuff questions based on the presentation. The Q&A forums were ok, but I didn't find them very helpful.

I mainly took the online course though to get in that 30 hours for the qualification. I found that even though I studied like a mad-woman for 3 months, my base of knowledge from my day to day job is what I was going to rely on in the test. You can only cram so much info. My advice is make sure you know your stuff already and use the reference guide/study courses as refreshers.

I took the test on 11/2, and yes the waiting is excrutiating. Anon, compliance is a constant learning game. Use the areas from the test that you weren't comfortable with to expand and develop your knowledge base and enhance your program. And if it turns out you passed, you are a better compliance officer. If you get bad news, then you will be that much more prepared for a retake.

Good luck everybody!

No news yet for me ( took it on 11/2)

Same here, took the exam on 11/2 and haven't received the results yet.
