Lynn, 
Thank you for your wonderful post.  I know how hard you & the committee have worked on this test.  This was no easy task.  I feel that you do indeed have a valid comprehensive test that should be recognized in the industry. 
There is one point I want to clarify to the readers of this post.  The test will only be offered to members in good standing with NALTEA.  If you are not a member or a past member you need to join NALTEA prior to taking the test. 
From the beginning of NALTEA, there have been abstractors that have asked "What value is it to me?"  As Lynn said, we can not guarantee quality work or that it will bring you more work, or make you successful.  You have to take responsibility for that.  But anyone who takes and passes this test will have accomplished something. 
I have discussed this testing with several attorneys & others in the title industry.  They have been looking forward to this time. 
It is here!  NALTEA is offering it!  Take advantage of it!!
