The cost goes towards time spent pulling, copying, and mailing the papers. I did ask how much the cost would be for just the ones that are on diskette or CD and they said they would have to look into that. I also asked what they would charge for me to drive down their and scan them all into the computer myself, they defered me to someone else for that matter. They also said that people know that their masters papers are for sale and that the papers do become their property after submitted although none of their documentation states that. I asked if their board approved the recent change in testing procedure (no loger need to be certified for 3 years before taking the advanced) they said yes and it was due to the fact that alot of people were asking them to waive the time. I asked if it was possible for someone to take the november test, then the may test, then write their masters paper and they said yes although it has never been doen before (duh). I also aske dhow they intend to keep the designation prestigious as they claim on their site, in which case they replied that only 5 percent of people that take the test pass it so this will keep it prestigious.
I don't know if I want the designation anymore, I worked hard and waited a long time to get to this point and now anyone can get there in a matter of months. I am looking into other options and careers, this crap is getting old.
