Howdy and welcome.

Good for you taking the ASE tests. I wish you the best of luck. Too many people feel they are a waste of time, which is sad because I've always felt a personal sense of accomplishment after completing the tests and getting my certificates.

A few words of advice... Definitely take the practice tests. They are invaluable to giving you an idea of what's going to be on the actual tests and how they like to formulate the questions. It's a few extra bucks, but money well spent. Also, don't try to do too many tests at one time. It can be mentally exhausting taking tests for several hours. I understand many folks like to try to get as many certifications as they can in one shot, but it can be a disadvantage as well as you'll have to take all your re-certs at the same time as well. It's a little easier to spread that out over a year or two.

Take care.
