In 2019, the CCS Test Prep® Program consisted of a two-day, in-person seminar that focused on each aspect of the competitive exam. Chief David A. Paprota, Ed.D. (Ret.) also provided students with access to the CCS Test Prep® Online Learning Platform during the days leading immediately up to the actual exam on June 15, 2019. Students were able to easily reinforce their knowledge of prior studies by taking instantly scored short practice quizzes (over and over). It was evident that students benefitted tremendously from the online program, as they had the opportunity to work to 100% proficiency in each tested area. As such, given the clear advantage to students, beginning in 2023 the CCS Test Prep® full program has been offered exclusively as an online program with students having 24/7 access to study at their convenience to work to 100% proficiency before test day!
This program and approach is very effective, as serious students can truly refine their skills and excel on the test. Passing is not good enough; it is critical to score extremely high in this very competitive process.
