(I hope this list still works)
Alan, first you say people should pass the test(s) 1(a and|or b) before
doing a test 2 (=distribution-specific exam). But at the end you say most
people would agree to allow taking exams within a level in different
orders. This is in conflict. Are you by any chance confusing Test 1,2
with Level 1,2?
The proposal is to allow tests from the same level to be taken in any
order. For the first level of LPI certification these are test 1a and 1b
(the original test 1 has been split for the convenience of the
candidates), and any of the distribution-specific tests 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e
or 2f. We already have a policy that candidates must start with Level 1
and get the certification for the different levels in order.
