<BR>From what I have heard, many of those who were entitled to be "Grandfathered
<BR>in" did, in fact, take and pass the Standardized Exams. You have the right
<BR>to take the Exam if you wish to. It's just going to be a matter of priority
<BR>with the Exam schedule whether thet would let you.
<BR>
<BR>PTG RPT Tuning Exams in Madison, Wisconsin are scheduled for the first
<BR>Saturday after New Year's and the last Saturday in May. If you want to take
<BR>your Exam at other than the PTG Annual Convention and you are willing to
<BR>travel to Madison to take it, you are welcome. I would expect that you would
<BR>be one of those who qualifies with all scores above 90% which would earn you
<BR>the privilege of preparing to be a Certified Examiner, yourself.
<BR>
<BR>You may have read that doing so will benefit you personally. It's true.
