s. KAC test

Two or three weeks before you take the exam you should take a KAC test to help see where you may still need to study. Go to http://www.payrollkac.com/apa/jsp/index.jsp , a national member would use their login, if you are not a national member you will need to create an account. Once you are login click ‘Purchase Assessment’, then I recommend KAC test 5 “Preparing for the CPP Exam”. Read the Tutorial before taking the exam. You will need one hour of time to finish the test. Once the clock starts it will stop one hour later.

Note: Each form has a number example 1700ABC means the first two = Year (17) the next two is the week that your studying that section in the payroll source book. Example a, b and c all have 00 so you could give them out right away. d and e (01) you would give when reading section 1. f, g and h (03) you would give when reading section 3. i, j, k, l, m and n (06) you would give when reading section 6 etc, etc…

After you have taken the KAC you can email me the results and I will help you understand what your final days of study should be. My email address is .

I hope this material help you as an instructor or a student. I will be updating the files each year with the new information so if you see any thing that is wrong please let me know.

Currently I have helped over 900 people get certified in Minnesota and nationally it could be more then that.

Good Luck and maybe I’ll see you at congress one year!
