1. Preliminary Score

   - On Paper:  A preliminary score report will be printed at the examination site
2. Official Score

If you're preparing to take the Florida CDR Exam (Certified Designated Representative), make sure you're referencing the latest and most current version of the CIB (candidate information booklet).

While surfing on the Florida DOH (Department of Health) website last week, I ran across two different versions of the CIB.  One was the outdated October 2010 version, and the newest one that I could find (as of the date of this post) was dated March 2011. (This week, it appears that only the newest version is available).

Bottomline, be sure you find and reference the most current version of the CIB (NB:  I was still able to Google and find the old October 2010 version).
