Hi Gordy, thanks for all the work on the discussions, you are amazing!
Here's a question you might pose to the group. What's a "pre-test", what's the purpose, what should it entail, when should the candidate take a pre-test(s), etc.
What should the candidate be told about their degree of readiness after a pretest? Etc.
If you think this is suitable please format for the group.
Safe Travels,
Kirk
