The 1999 ABHP Examination: Statistics and Note of AppreciationThe
1999 exam had a total of 403 applicants which resulted in candidates who
took 154 Part I exams and 134 Part II exams.
 The
Exam Site Selection Committee (Harvey Goldberg, Chair, Don Honey, and
Elizabeth Langille) arranged for the listed exam sites and proctors. The
Academy and the Board appreciate all of the work done by this Committee
and the proctors who donated their time to facilitate exam site
arrangements and to assist with the exam.
Errata/Clarification As noted by at least one
candidate, there were some errors included in the July CHP News version
of the ABHP exam "Useful Equations and Constants" sheet. The
Board had caught these and provided an updated version to the editors—just
after the issue had gone to press. The editor is betting that the
candidates who recognized these errors probably easily passed the exam
Melvin
First also pointed out that the formulas are (intentionally) not
qualified or clarified as presented on the sheets; for example, the
ventilation equations provided may only be valid with certain units or
under conditions of standard temperature and pressure. He also noted
that the number of significant digits provided in some of the constants
imbedded in equations on the sheet imply a false level of accuracy, even
though this same "affectation" is present in most of the
classic sources for such equations.
