Two weeks and counting
I’m guessing that a good number of those taking the PHR and SPHR exams during the current testing window have not yet taken the test, but will be doing so in the next 14 days, the last two weeks of the two-month window. This is not based on any statistical evidence I have in my possession; it is based on my knowledge of (and intimate experience with) human nature. When I last sat for the SPHR exam, I took it on the very last day of the testing window. And that’s okay. My credentials are just as valid as those who took the exam on the first day. I don’t have to put an asterisk by my SPHR, or anything.
Those of you who are having your brains scanned (heh, wouldn’t that be easier, really?) in the next two weeks, you might want to review the blog entries I’ve classified as “test-taking tips.”
Good luck!

do you know of any independant PHR study groups I could join. I have all the SHRM modules since I finished their group in Dec 2008. Plan on taking may-june 2008 PHR exam.

Stephanie, you could check with your local SHRM chapter; they often organize study groups. And there are a number of online study groups. Take a look at http://www.hrcertification.info for one example.
For those looking for an instructor-led prep course, here is a list of groups that use the HRCP materials: http://www.hrcp.com/?pg=studygroups
