Of course I changed it, but I wouldn't expect to receive a Userid and a password in the same mail, especially in clear.

Hi Wombat,

Unfortunately, that's an artifact of the WP plugin we use for registration.  We're actually in the process of customizing the plugin for several reasons.  That will be one of the things that changes.  Thanks for the reminder!  

Best,

Wombat,

This should be cleared up now...

You should be able to register without providing your Paypal credentials.  At that point it is simply a credit card transaction.  Let us know if this doesn't work for you and we can see about further arrangements.

Didn't work neither. Can you give me your number so I can call you directly and do the payment. Looks like my company restrict the payment in that link.

Login under your registered user credentials.  Go to the subscribe page and choose the gold subscription level.  Click the Paypal button under the Gold column.

Once at Paypal, half-way down on the left hand side of the screen you should see:

"Don't have a PayPal account? Use your credit card or bank account (where available). Continue"

Click on Continue.  Paypal will ask for your billing information.  Press the "Review Order and Continue" button.  

You will see an invoice with a "Pay" button at the bottom.  Clicking pay should complete your transaction.

On completion, you should be able to print the page as an invoice.  Let us know if this is acceptable per your company policy.

Best regards,

On the IAPP's exam, there are only multiple choice with a single correct answer.  There are several case studies recently posted under the Gold members section.  These are based on the formatting of the sample CIPP exam from the IAPP.  There is a scenario presented, then 10 true or false questions.  

Several of our case studies are written by CIPP certified folks.

Best Regards,

i will run for the CIPP/IT in 20 days and have (hopefully  ) a fair knowhow about the topics.

Due to JCs test tools here I'm also familiar with the way multiple choice questions will be asked.

However I did not find a proper info if in the "real" exam, also more than one answer will be a possible situation or if always only 1 out of 4 is the rigth one.

Please advice, this would be helpful.

But i struggle with another point. In my daily business working with case studies is not very common. I have read some from the IAPP material and will read a lot more in the next 2 weeks. But how will I be confronted with case studies during the exam? Will there be a description of a given situation and I have to comment on this situation by yes/No answers? Or will the be a complete case study like in the material and I have to answer questions in this regard?

What would you recommend the best way to prepare to the case study section of the exam?

Regards, Michael

btw. may be there are also case studies and questions within the test tool? if so, i didn't come across yet. Pleas point me to the proper exam, thanks
