Hmm I wonder what the schools are going to do for the 3-4 month period...
eze said

Apparently the job and DCAS are looking to identify a weekday in early 2017 (when school is out) to have the exam.
In light of the postponement, we will be modifying the class schedule slightly. Our students will still get all the relevant updates up to the cut-off date. Additionally, we will be holding live cram classes (6 hours) for all students and go over the in-basket, the new 221 section, and other relevant material.
If you haven't been studying that hard, this is your opportunity to start. If you've been hitting it hard, maintain the pace (the 3 months should hopefully fly).

The cram will be in person. We are looking to do it sometime in November/December, since part of what we will be going over is studying techniques it is important to address any deficiencies with your study plan early on. Our plans are still tentative, so check our website or here for updates. I will post a firm schedule once we have them.

Ok I was not going to study but this pushback helps I am going to order rising star but have a number of questions
1 being is the material all going to be updated are all packages going to be on hold so many changes can happen before the cut off?
eze said
Jun 4, 2016
All study materials are updated. If a change happens between your order and the cut-off date, you'll get those updates. If you order now you get the first 10 weeks up-front. Weeks 11 through 20 will then be mailed to you every other week. We will cap off the course with a live 6 hour course 2+ months or so before the test.

Not necessarily. If you were sick or just became eligible they'll let you file. Sometimes even if you just forgot they'll let you file as well. Call EMD or testing and research at 646 610 6888
to unknown date. I wonder why.....
