AFAA's partnership with ZIN for the GFI certification exam is a complete scam. I studied for 3 weeks. I earned a masters degree from BU with a 4.0 GPA so I am not a total idiot. I had confidence I would pass the test as I was scoring in the 85-95 range on the quizzes and practice tests.
Today, after an HOUR of technical problems I took the test on line (oddly, my system check worked correctly twice...) and I failed the test. The vast majority of the questions were NOT in the course materials or study guides. I was speechless and devastated that so much of my time had been wasted.
When I called to reschedule I was told I am being charged twice the amount of the first test.
DO NOT waste your time with this company. They are not out to educate you. They are running a scam by rigging a test you are destined to fail.
