Procrastinators (and other frugal shoppers), it’s your big chance! It’s my birthday this week. To celebrate, I’m offering a $50 discount on the complete HRCP Program through Friday, November 2. Use BIRTHDAY as the discount code.
Happy Halloween!
If you have
a) registered for the PHR or SPHR exam for the December/January test window but haven’t begun studying, or
b) not registered yet but are still thinking about doing it (with the late fee) but aren’t sure you’ll have time enough to prepare,
this blog entry is for you.
You still have time, folks. Lots and lots of time. If you start studying now, and you schedule your exam for the end of January, you still have three months to study. Three months. Ninety-three days. That’s long enough to sail across the Pacific, train for a marathon*, hand stitch a quilt, ride a bike from New York to Los Angeles, complete a term of college, or graduate from the Police Academy. It is also long enough to circumnavigate the globe, apparently—with 13 days left over. It is certainly enough time to prepare for the PHR or SPHR exam. But you’ve got to start now.
Terri, the business manager here at HRCP, is preparing to take the PHR exam in December. She has just completed all of the reading and is moving on to the “review” portion of her study schedule. She has covered a specific number of pages of the HRCP Program each day, which usually took her an hour or less. If you take on a similar schedule, studying for an hour each weekday between now and the end of January, there is no reason you can’t be prepared to pass the exam. But you’ve got to start now.
*Disclaimer: Training for a marathon in three months assumes that you’re already in shape. If you’re currently a couch potato, it will take a bit longer.
