The Deal
LPI wants to hear from past exam takers. If you have taken an exam and have a question that you were expecting on the exam but didn't see, you can now add it to the LPI database.
You don't need to enter in a fully complete question, either. Just the essence will be enough.
You only get one entry per month but can return every month for another submission.
How to Participate
The easiest way is to go into the Area of the main LPI web site and change your preference for 'I want to volunteer to help with exam development' to 'Yes' and then take an exam. We will e-mail you shortly afterwards to encourage you to participate.
Also, anyone that submits a question the month before will get an automated reminder midway through the next month to submit another question.
