The community responsible for licensing occupations and professions is large and diverse. Among others, it includes agency administrators and other staff, board members, testing experts, attorneys and the candidates themselves. All of these groups need a solid basis in the fundamentals of a fair examinations process.

For over two decades, CLEAR’s Examination Resources and Advisory Committee members have shared their expertise with this community. The most enduring of these contributions is a semi-annual publication, CLEAR Exam Review, which is the leading North American journal on testing issues for the professional and occupational regulatory community.


CLEAR Exam Review
CLEAR Exam Review is a bi-annual journal with useful discussions of current licensing examination issues and is geared toward a general audience. CLEAR members receive CLEAR Exam Review free of charge. Nonmembers may purchase an annual subscription for $30, including shipping and handling. Individual issues and articles are also available.
