Whew! I passed the SPHR exam today. Again. As I’ve previously mentioned, I take the HR certification exam every three years to re-certify.

And I’m never taking it again. Ever.*

That exam is a ridiculously frustrating, stress-inducing monster. A man exiting the testing center told the center supervisor, “You should have a decompression chamber here for people finishing their tests.” I agreed. This was my sixth time taking (and sixth time passing, I might add) the HR certification exam, and the experience does not become more pleasant with the repetition.

I’m planning to go knock the stuffing out of a few softballs tonight. That should help relieve some stress.

And after I’ve decompressed a bit, I’ll provide more thoughts on my experience.

*I really will be taking the exam again in three years. But right now, I’m not going to let myself think about it.
