DOWNLOAD EBOOKBecoming a Certified Association Executive (CAE) shows your commitment to the association profession. To earn the CAE title you need to first submit an application and prove to ASAE that you have met the experience and education eligibility requirements. Then you may apply to sit for the multiple choice based exam. The CAE exam is offered in a single 4-hour session, given twice a year (in May and December) at scheduled test centers throughout the U.S. The exam uses a pass-fail cut-off mechanism determined through a criterion-referenced method. This guide provides you with the study material necessary for passing the CAE exam.Quite many questions are, in my opinion, written subjectively. You can get tripped up easily if you do not pay attention to the way the questions are worded. For example, the questions below are asking for different answers even though they look highly alike:What could be the issue here? What could be done to BEST address the issue here? What has to be done FIRST in order to address the issue here? What could have been done to avoid the issue here? There are also hard facts based questions that are bound to be objective - such as those related to laws and regulations at the federal level (yes, the federal level, NOT the state level - state laws are mostly irrelevant in the exam). These questions primarily test your memorization skills. In any case, when you answer the CAE exam questions you have to take the point of view of a Chief Staff Executive or a Chief Elected Officer unless otherwise specified.I personally think the Principles of Association Management book published by the ASAE and the Chamber of Commerce (1975) is excellent - it covers many of the essential topics that you need to know to tackle the exam questions, but the problem is that it was written in 1975, that many of the information has yet to receive the deserved update. That is why we came up with this special study guide package.
