Back from beyond

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I accidentally deleted my blog last week. I mean I completely nuked it. Dead. Gone. Obliterated.

Fortunately, I had a fairly recent backup, so I didn’t lose much. I would have lost the following data if I had posted it when the information was first available. So, I’m posting it now. (Warning: Don’t try to follow that logic.)

Here are the PHR and SPHR pass rates from 2005 to the December 2009-January 2010 test window. (Click on the graphic to see it bigger.)

PHR-SPHR-Pass-Rates-Jan-2010

As you can see, there was a little, one-point bounce on each exam, but the pass rates remain lower in the past two years than they’ve been since the exams became computer-based in 2004.

I’ll be interested to see how things go with the current test window. And to those who are currently preparing for the PHR or SPHR exams: Reverse the trend, my friends. Reverse the trend!
