ISA Arborist News Quizzes online any one do these ?

[derwoodii]

I enjoy them more often, a few of late been tricky tree technical so a worthy challenge. I can not seem to get higher than a 90% score and you can not see what questions you got wrong after test submission. Does anyone else do these or has aced a quiz.

No, but I SOOOOOOO NEED TOO! I am way behind on the CEU thing, have many done, just need to send them in. Ima gunza be shecking that out tho, they are free right?

 

[derwoodii]

yup the Arb news quizzes are free if your a paid up ISA critter but they are only about 1 CEU value. There are others in the quizz bank http://www.isa-arbor.com/quizBank/QuizReg.aspx that can be purchased for about $10 or so bucks but I have not done any off these as yet. Seems I only need 4 CEU for my re cert and have 10 months to do that

edit ah looks like the harder but fun tree risk news quizzes are 2 CEU points each and I got 2 points last nite so when it updates be only 2 needed now

oh many of these were from Sydney and other OZ ISA conference, thats an easy and good way to learn n earn apart from fee $ cost

I do them when I remember or the deadline is looming....can't remember if I've hit a 100% or not. Depends on who writes the article, some of the questions are so whacky almost any answer could work sometimes if you think too much about it. They are defininatley not professional test writers.

oh yay my next 3 years of recertification is done as i just clocked 30 units and thats all i needed by June 30.. The ISA online quizz page is much better than some years ago and now has an audio listen file so you can read the pages then as take quizz have it gently talk over the topic. feet up no pressure now and i have a few Arb news magz to thumb though might even get a few units in credit while im in the school up mood

 

[stltreedr]

Congrats...I just got mine done too. It was close this time! I prefer not to give my money directly to ISA if I can help it. I've been doing an annual subscription to http://gibneyce.com/online-seminars-for-municipal-arborists.html for awhile. For $125 ish you can get a year's subscription and earn up to 15 credits.

 

[nepal4jc]

may I ask why you don't want to give directly to ISA? Just curious...

Just because they piss me off often... It used to be fairly easy to get post approval credit for tailgate meetings, independent study or different meetings attended around town. I was probably turned down for about 10-15 credits last year because of some bureaucratic crap that they started insisting on... They say it was due to their standards for accreditation... But to me, it really felt like they were just trying to get me to pay them more money for credits.

ive just paid my $100 dues and re-certified.. For the 1st time i used the ISA CEU Post Approval request form to earn 4 ceu for climbing comp volunteer, 1st aid and Arbor camp attendance... It took some convincing and needed to submit good proof of attendance & value but worth the effort vs gain.

But a lesson learnt annoyingly my own tactical mistake.... i had already in hand the 30 needed ceu units and the extra 4 i gathered up with post approval emails was wasted as they dont carry forward. opsy grr wont do that again....
