Rochelle:
Not sure if you have reviewed the RACC website yet. This has pretty much all you need to know as far as suggestions, practice tests, etc., in order for you to become a CRA. The What is Certification link will give you the requirements in order to apply for the CRA but I would also Pay particular attention to the Body of Knowledge link as it has the requirements for the realm of knowledge for which you will be tested and should know.
I attended a review session prior to taking my test. It was extremely helpful in that it helped me become more aware of my strengths and weaknesses prior to taking the test. I would highly recommend it.
Hopefully this helps. Brenda

Can anyone give me some insight on what it takes to become a CRA? I have looked at several websites but the information isn’t consistent. I would appreciate your input.
