---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Garret, Wim I can tell you as a person who has given many tuning exams, the time spent doing this is considerable & when most fail the first time it's demoralizing to all. I wonder if the prospective examinees had to poney up couple hundred if they wouldn't be betetr prepared to pass. Most failed the test the first time but since then prescreening at the chapter level has been helpful in raising the statistic. At best charging is a 2 edged sword. More cost means more fear of failure & less willingness to take tests. Dale Garret If the exams cost $300 each, would you be willing to pay it? Twice if you don't pass the first time?
