RP Study Group

HSAP Vice-President, Dr. William J. Puette, CP, PRP is leading a six-month study group in 2010 that will meet in Pearl City at CLEAR (6 - 8 pm) two Fridays a month to review and study about 100 exam questions each night till all 1200 possible questons are reviewed.

You will need your own copy of RONR at least. The study questions and practice answer sheets will be emailed in advance to those planning to participate. Though not required, it's not a bad idea to order the NAP Study Guide for "Examination for Registration" and the "Supplemental Index" to RONR both of which are available online at the online bookstore on the NAP website.

This class is open to anyone serious about preparing for the RP Exam, even if you have not yet taken the membership exam. Email Dr. Puette to enroll and to get the course materials.

for each class, 3 to 5 research questions (sentences from RONR that you will try to find page numbers for in 5 minutes or less per sentence) will be administered as well

Examination fees are $150 for the full exam, $25 for Part I re-examination, and $50 for Parts II - V re-examination. There are tools to help you study! The test questions are randomly selected from the 1200 questions in "Study Guide for Registration" from NAP and ParlQuest™.
