ERPA Exam

[ERISA13]

I've just completed the ASPPA DC-3 and DB exams and was considering taking the ERPA exams the first of the year. I was wondering how the ERPA exams compare to the ASPPA exams as far as difficulty. I know ASPPA views these two designations comparable to each other but wanted to see if anyone who has taken the exams recently could give their 2 cents.

Thanks!

I think ERPA is easier. There is certainly nothing remotely approaching the DB stuff found in the ASPPA exams for the DB course.

ERPA was much easier.

Thanks for the responses. I went ahead and took (and passed) both ERPA exams last week and I agree that the ERPA was easier. It seemed to me the ERPA exams were more comprehensive but only required a basic understanding of the concepts where as the DC-3 and DB exams for the QPA were much more focused on specific topics and required a more advanced level of knowledge.
