Really sounds like they are intentionally making it easy to take the exam and difficult to get (enough) education credits. That tells me what they prefer that we do. It also seems like a LOT of last-minute work for them to verify 90 hours of CERPs by deadline. My perception is, someone may not recertify because the Board cant meet the deadline.
