I was coming in to urge you to reach out to Ralph Wilmer, FAICP who serves as the APA- MA Professional Development Officer. And now APA’s Ethics Officer! But I see he has chimed in.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Having taken & FINALLY passing the exam last year, I recommend Planetizen’s course the most. Followed by other state chapter’s AICP study resources as compiled on the link Ralph shared. Note that Florida Treasure Coast has a free online test prep group.
They upgraded to a new platform so the contact link may need to be updated as well.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And of course APA-MA runs a test prep course in the spring that I highly recommend. Many of the amazing Planning experts on this listserv are usually invited guests. They come with & share invaluable knowledge that will be of much use on the exam & in
your everyday work. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">One additional book I’d highly recommend for the ethics questions is, “<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.worldcat.org/title/everyday-ethics-for-practicing-planners/oclc/681191644__;!!CUhgQOZqV7M!m9y9OBwHtR2LFyKwq6-MsBT59FDYBNVwnNTsyZBy8i-EaC8g28hWWY35nQTuutI3YZqw4W010Oic0XXPBbxMfR2jDjhRsZAfrvIN$" target="_blank">Everyday
