Testing Process
1. Register
Before you can take a quiz, you must first register online. You can register to take a single quiz, or subscribe to take any four quizzes at a discounted price. After registration and payment approval, you will be able to enter your email address and password in the "For Registered Users" box on the main page of this section to call up the quizzes at anytime until you have submitted your answers. This allows you to print out the quizzes and research your answers off-line before actually completing them.
For AGA Members each quiz costs $30, or a full year of four quizzes based on the quarterly issues of the Journal costs $109. For nonmembers, each quiz costs $56, or a full year of four quizzes based on the quarterly issues of the Journal costs $204. You can pay online by secure credit card. Please note that payments are nonrefundable.
2. Research
For each quiz you take at CPE Online you should plan on spending about three hours to read the applicable information and take the quiz.
3. Take Quiz
After you have read the information in the Journal, come back to CPE Online to take the relevant 25-question quiz. To do this, enter your email address and password in the "For Registered Users" box on the main page of this section, and click on the Load Quiz button. As new issues of the Journal are published a corresponding quiz will uploaded, and the oldest issue of the Journal with its quiz will be deleted. Thus there will always be 8 issues of the Journal with their quizzes online at all times. Therefore, AGA asks that you please complete any quiz or quizzes you wish to take a short time after remitting payment.
Once you have submitted the quiz, you will see a Quiz Results page that will display your answers, and the correct answers. Click on the 
buttons to view the reasons for the correct answers so you will better understand what you answered incorrectly. Even if you answered a question correctly, check to see if the reasoning is what you perceived. By studying where you made a mistake it is our hope that you will come away from this experience with better understanding of the issues contained in each issue of the Journal.
Important: You will not be able to reload the quiz or view the quiz results after you have submitted your answers and logged off your browser, so review all answers and print out your certificate before logging off.
Also, if you pay to take one CPE quiz and do not pass it, you
will not automatically receive a free chance to take the quiz again.
If you pay for one quiz, you may take one quiz - pass or fail - you
have still taken that one quiz that you purchased. If you have
questions about this policy, please contact
agawebmaster@agacgfm.org.
4. Get Certificate
From the Quiz Results page, click on the button labeled "Click Here to Receive Your Certificate". Print out the certificate for your records. Each quiz is equal to 3 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits.
