The GRAMA certification test has been updated. The following changes were implemented:
- Questions were revised to be less “tricky”
- Some questions were removed
- Hyperlinks to the applicable portion of the law were added to each question
And here’s a tip: these tests are open book. That means you can access the law, the training materials, and whatever else you like when you take the test. You can do a search on a webpage or document (press CTRL + F) to find specific words mentioned in the question, and use that to help you find the answer. One purpose of the test is for you to know how to find the answer to your real-life questions, so using your resources is not cheating.
