RACC Body of Knowledge Session
On Saturday, April 27, the Research Administrators Certification Council will hold a Body of Knowledge review session from 8:30 AM to 5 PM. If you're interested in pursuing a CRA®, CPRA®, or CFRA® certification, this session is a must!
The purpose of the Body of Knowledge Review Sessions is to familiarize you with the outline of information upon which the certifications offered by the Research Administrators Certification Council (RACC) are based. Each Body of Knowledge Session (CRA®, CPRA®, and CFRA) is designed to assist you to identify areas of strengths and weakness so that you can learn where to focus your studies as you prepare to the exam.
Sample questions are provided throughout each session. The goal of the sample questions is to give you an idea of the question format. However, it is important to note the sample questions are not questions on the actual exam. Rather, they are a combination of retired questions and questions that were not previously used on the exam.
