@MalabikaD7690 Hi Malabiki,

You are technically eligible, but the 8.8 exams were not available when the 8.7 exams were published. So, there was no way to list the CSA 8.8 exam as a prerequisite for the 8.7 exam.

I am checking to see if the CSA 8.8 exam is not so different that you might fail the CSSA 8.7 exam. We want you to be successful. I will report back here when I hear something.

@MalabikaD7690 Hi Malabika,

The SSA 8.7 exam is not compatible with the SA 8.8 exam.

We recommend you register for the SSA 8.8 exam.
