The CIP Beta is Live!

Updated to reflect final beta date of May 31, 2016.

Updated to add correct link to the registration process.

I am pleased to announce that the beta exam is live for the CIP 2016 update. So what's that mean?

The CIP has to go through a beta process in order to set a defensible passing score. We need 100+ candidates for each of the two beta forms. Once we have those exam results we can analyze the individual items to ensure they meet our standards; we will also set the passing score using the modified Angoff scoring mechanism.

The beta is the same as the "regular" CIP and those who pass the beta will be full CIPs. The primary differences are:

• The price, as shown below
• The exam is 3 hours, rather than 2, to give candidates time to provide comments on each question if so desired
• You will have to wait until the beta is over to get your score

How can you register? Simply go to http://www.webassessor.com/aiim/index.html, create an account, and follow the registration process. We have documented that process in a Word document which you can access here: https://myaiim.box.com/s/lj4t21jocktku7rzfatlazalbeye8j9h

Please note that the beta will only be available until May 23 or until we get the necessary registrations, whichever comes first. Update: the beta will remain live until May 31, 2016.

Cost of the beta is only $135. This is a massive discount from the full price of $285 for Professional members and $349 for non-members.
