I have taken the sample questions many times and got 90% write…but the questions I don’t know…I really don’t know.  I think the sample questions are much simpler than the actual exam.

That is a great question.  I was curious and went to the sample exam on the CRA web site.  I have been looking at questions all morning to see if I know the answers.  I would say with no studying I could answer about 75% correctly.  Maybe I am more knowledgeable about my chosen field than I thought!  If these are actual sample questions I think I would do okay.

Subject: [RESADM-L] CRA Exam - what's it like

I'm hoping to take the exam this coming Fall. I have not taken any of the review sessions but I have completed research compliance certification programs at two institutions that I've worked at. I've taken the practice exams online a couple of times and they seem relatively easy. Is the actual exam anything like the practice exams? I'm trying to get a sense of whether I need the review sessions. I'd hate to waste money either on unnecessary review or taking an exam that I'm not prepared for.

 

Thanks for any input from those who have take the exam.

 

Jane
