Hi Lynnda,
Thanks for getting back to me. I appreciate it.
One more question: On Group Study, there's been talk that the Doc CD
provided to candidates in the lab is edited so that not all the info that's
in a regular Doc CD is in the Doc CD provided to candidates. Is this true?
Also, what's the date of the Doc CD currently provided to candidates?
Thanks in advance. Jim

whole slew of new material just as I'm fully prepared to take the current
exam.

would the above candidate who already had a lab date based on IOS 12.1 be
affected? Would that candidate, because he already had a date scheduled be
allowed the option of taking the exam based on 12.1?
