You do not need to go it alone!

We are pleased to announce that the new and improved PACE Study Manual (5th ed.) will be available for purchase starting MARCH 1, 2008. The new study manual includes many new mini-chapters including bankruptcy, corporate law, intellectual property, family law, and other areas tested in the new exam. We have also updated the existing chapters, and completely re-written the technology chapter. There are new study questions as well.

You will continue to order the new Study Manual through the NFPA website, just as before. However, the volume, after March 1, will be shipped directly from the publisher, Prentice Hall. The cost is $75 plus shipping and handling, which will vary depending on where you live and the method of shipping you choose.

If you purchased the 4th edition Study Manual, be assured that it will still assist you in preparing for the new exam. It is not as comprehensive as the 5th edition, and the major difference is the re-written technology section and the addition of the mini-chapters. As always, we encourage PACE Candidates to consult other source materials as well as the Study Manual in preparing for the exam, regardless of which edition of the Study Manual they use.

There will NOT be an update available to make the 4th edition of the Study Manual coincide with the 5th edition. There was no way to do this in a practical way that would still be cost-effective.

The new PACE exam will go live on MAY 12, 2008. If you want to take the current PACE exam, you must do so before April 16, 2008. Tests will not be scheduled during the period 4/16/08 - 5/12/08 to allow the vendor to upload and beta test the new exam.

There is a PACE practice test online at https://www.castleworldwide.com/tds_v5/asp/home.asp

This online practice test consists of 100 questions. The cost is $50. There are 100 multiple choice questions.

The practice test can be taken anytime and anywhere by computer. The web site is supported by Castle Worldwide, and is very user friendly. I recommend that you look over the web site, including the Frequent Questions and System Requirements before you begin using the practice exam.
