It’s an easy, BS test. Buy a test primer. Review it a few times. If you practice in this area, you’ll pass with flying colors. The ongoing CLE burden is more of a consideration than passing in the first place.

Both of the prior commenters are dead on. It’s not that hard to pass. Just study a decent amount and you should be good.

My company paid for it, they already had the pdf study book and gave it to me. It turned out it was an older version, but I used ChatGPT to figure out what the newer topics might be and supplemented with what I could find. I overstudied in the end, it wasn’t that hard of a test. There are also free study guides on LinkedIn.
