[SBE] SBE CertPreview

[Christensen, Dave]

When I took the btc exam there were 4 questions from the current  cd on
the test.  There was a bunch of IT questions on the test as well that
wrere not on the CertPreview. If I purchase the the cd will there be
question on the sample test like IT question on the sample cd. Is this
not an up-dated CertPreview cd.

It's not an "online" version.  The new version, which contains the same
question database as the current CD version, will be download-able upon
purchase. This will allow people who want to purchase CertPreview to
have it immediately, rather than the current process of waiting for the
CD to be delivered by mail, installing it, submitting the machine ID and
waiting for the software key to be sent back before using it.

Personally, I would see little benefit to someone who already owns the
CD version of one CertPreview (say the CBTE) in purchasing the new
version of the same CertPreview.  But if you wanted to purchase a
different CertPreview level, say the CBNT, then you will purchase the
new version.

	If one such as myself were to have purchased the CD version -
Would we have access to the new online version as well? Is this an
addition cost? Also, are the materials different between the two of
them?

	The new version of SBE's CertPreview is expected to be available
right after NAB.
	
	CertPreview is intended to give individuals a preview on what an
SBE Certification exam is like.  Each Certification level and Specialist
exam has it's own CertPreview edition.
	
	We are in the final stages of reviewing the software for general
release.

		Senate Bill S.2881 Clears Senate Committee 

		
		Indianapolis - Mar 25, 2010 - The Senate bill introduced
by Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) titled "The FCC Commissioners' Technical
Resource Enhancement Act" has cleared the Senate Committee on Science,
Commerce and Transportation. Only one change was made to the bill to
include provisions of Senate bill S.3042, a bill also introduced by Sen.
Snowe. S.3042 provides for a study by the National Academy of Sciences
on the technical policy decisions and technical personnel at the Federal
Communications Commission. The bill now moves back to the Senate.
		 
		The bill's basic purpose is to provide greater technical
resources to FCC Commissioners. A companion resolution was introduced in
the House of Representatives by Jerry McNerney (D-CA). McNerney's
resolution, R.4809, was the result of the Society of Broadcast Engineers
visiting offices of House members in March to generate support of the
issue.
		 
		Barry Thomas, CPBE CBNT, chairman of the SBE Government
Relations Committee, said, "This legislation advances one of the
Society's most long-standing and important goals, and will help ensure
that broadcasting technical regulation is based on sound technical
reasoning."
		 
		SBE President Vinny Lopez, CEV, added, "We expect this
bill to continue on its fast track through Congress. The SBE encourages
all broadcasters -- not just SBE members -- to contact their Senators or
Representatives and urge support for this important legislation."
		 
		The Society of Broadcast Engineers is the professional
organization of television and radio engineers and those in related
fields. SBE has more than 5,500 members in 115 chapters across the
United States and in Hong Kong. SBE members can also be found in more
than 20 other countries. Most chapters meet monthly and offer
educational programs and an opportunity to network with other engineers.
SBE offers the largest and most recognized certification program for
broadcast engineers, operators and technicians, with more than 5,000
certifications currently active. The SBE also offers a growing number of
on-line and traditional educational courses and seminars for the
technical broadcasting community.
