I don’t think it was that much harder (I still failed lol) and I think the software has greatly improved to prepare candidates much better than before the exam changed.

I don’t think it’s much harder. Only difference is the format/timing (i.e. more sims, longer exam, etc.)

I think it is harder now... than it was last year (before big change in april). Requires a deeper kkowledge, the questions are far from the ones released for study. Before, some becker’s questions were exact the same, for example

Hi!! I’m an HR Coordinator currently (about two years of experience) but my job has so many responsibilities and tasks I’m beyond burnt out. It’s truly impossible to focus on one task because things are constantly being thrown my way. I’ve heard whisperings of a promotion or raise, but my workload is already too much, I don’t know if I’d want to accept more responsibility. Is it normal to feel like you have just as many responsibilities as your superiors who make 30k+ more than you?
