		Tobi Minich took a couple of the practice tests available and then just studied the stuff I missed...passed first time. I understand there`s a lot of computer-type questions now that didn`t really apply when I was taking it...yes, I`m that old ;) Thursday, September 08, 2011
		Staci Slayden I had been a working reporter for a year before I took it. Thank goodness, because there were quite a number of procedural questions I never would have known the answer to, even after studying. I studied the book and took the practice tests for about a month or so. Thursday, September 08, 2011
		Diana Hausman I studied my brains lose!!! I passed the first time, but I left feeling like I failed...I actually got a pretty good grade too :) I bought a study book and used a lot of flashcards for legal and medical terms, and did the practice tests... Thursday, September 08, 2011
		Patricia Babits I didn`t study at all. I was taking it to experience the machine test. I passed the written the first time but nor by much. I did a lot of guessing! Thursday, September 08, 2011
		Patricia Babits Not by much Thursday, September 08, 2011
		Laura Klingenberg Fowler Studied tons because I took it a 2nd time about 10 years after being a reporter, so I had to brush up on all that English stuff, vocab, etc. I think it`s a hard test. Thursday, September 08, 2011
		Nicole Terlizzi Kochy I didn`t study at all. I took it when I was still in school and passed it (not by much, but I passed). I didn`t pass the skills and let that lapse and years later took it again, didn`t study and passed again (and then passed the skills). It`s a lot of common sense, I think. And some stuff you`re just not going to know, (like court stuff if you`re a deposition reporter, etc.), but it`s multiple choice and a lot is process of elimination type of things.

		Eldon Simpson About 2 years ;-) Thursday, September 08, 2011
		Junie Davis I took it and passed it the summer after graduating, so things were fresh in my mind. That was in 1993. Friday, September 09, 2011
		Aleece DePuey Took it two years ago and passed the first time with a 92 as everything was still fresh. I went heavy on the vocab drills and was so glad I did. Friday, September 09, 2011
		Adrienne White I took it fresh out of school with a very good teacher passed it the first time but the skills portion, lol! Friday, September 09, 2011
		Shawna Tsougarakis I took it back in 2008? & passed, then gave up on myself & stopped everything. How long is the written good for? Wednesday, September 14, 2011
