Beginning October 1, 2020, the 40-question membership exam will be based on the 3rd edition of  Robert’s Rules In Brief and the 100-question membership exam will be based on the 12th edition of Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised. The study guides for both exams will be updated as well.

The legacy RP exams will continue to be available until the Commission on Credentialing determines that enough candidates have completed the new RP process. At that time, at least 2 months notice will be given that the legacy exams will be discontinued. Anyone who is in the process of taking the legacy exams will be grandfathered into that testing method provided they have successfully completed at least 2 exam parts, excluding the Part I research exam. The legacy exams will continue to be based on Robert’s Rules 11th edition; they will not be updated to the 12th edition.
