Board Certified!

[John Stewart]

Hey do in of you guys know why the ISA Board Certified Master Arborist example questions won't load up? I know that you boy's covered this topic a while back but I wanted to see some questions. Also I just noticed that Guy M has it listed in his signature! All the info I 've seen says it will be ready soon but not yet!
What gives?
Confused

Try again; it did for me just now.

site is not updated since conference. First test was given august 8. The sample questions on the site are a good example of what the test is like, but there is a lot more technical stuff in there.

I'm glad I reviewed some areas beforehand; test is not at all easy. Most of the takers took almost all of the 240 minutes allowed for the 150 questions.

Hey Guy
Congrats!
I didnt know that they were starting to test
Looking forward to writing it!
I will brush up for sure before making a attempt
Do you know if you have to keep your other certifacations or can you drop them for this?
I have certified arborist and tree worker and would gladly drop the 2 for the Board!
Can't justify the cost of having 3 plus a membership!
Later
John

I was told having the BCMA keeps me on the cert list, which is important here because many towns and companies specify cert to do or oversee work. the ctw I don't know about, maybe not, but I'll find out when I take that test in a month.

Maintaing cert is $100/3 years, that's < a dime a day. For the cost of a cigarette, I think it's worth it.
