The exam paper is send to the participants as pdf. Participants are free to answer the question in the way which suits them best. Print it, fill it, scan it and send it back to us or one can even write the answers in a new word document.

The idea of the exam is to apply the knowledge gained during the maxx courses and while working in the field. This should give you a very good feedback where you stand when it comes to PV, at the same time it should ensure your expertise and knowledge and show you where you have potential gaps you need to work on in future.
