This is exactly why the government should focus on their core competencies,
like fighting wars and building roads - and leave security awareness
training to the pros. J

Hi All,

 

I took the test and they require your social security number. 

 

"Please note that you will be required to enter your Social Security number
at the completion of this exam. This website and the testing system meet
federal guidelines for protecting Personally Identifiable Information.
However, if you do not wish to submit your Social Security number, you will
need to request an alternative ID number from the Independent Study program.
For directions on how to request an alternative ID number, please see our
Frequently Asked Questions:"

 

Does this concern anyone besides me?

 

Thanks
