I'm going to take it. Sounds like a no-brainer decision as an investment in one's career. I've got a couple of tactical questions:

1) Any advanteges to taking it later vs. sooner in the 11-18 - 12-17 window, other than more study time? Such as feedback on the exam:)

2) Some objective exams I've taken, such as the actuarial exams, give 0 points for a blank answer and -1 point for an incorrect answer, to discourage guessing. Anyone know if the same applies here?
