CURRENT LIST OF STATES ACCEPTING NERB (2015)

[CoachJawbone]

To date, which states are currently accepting the NERB? I found this list on Wikipedia. It looks pretty accurate to me, what do you think?

Since the NERB and ADEX combined forces and became the CDCA, there aren't many left that are resisting the movement.
A more accurate list can be found at their website:
http://www.cdcaexams.org/cdca-member-map/

States that DON'T accept the NERB/ADEX should be shorter and more convenient. If there are more that I missed, please advise.
- California
- South Dakota
- Alaska
- Oklahoma
- Georgia
- Delaware
- New York (they want you to do a 1-year GPR)

With that many states accepting the NERB/ADEX, they are trying to become the go-to exam, and may eventually force the other exams out of business. I don't really know how to feel about this. On one end, I love the idea of a nationalized exam, so one test can get you set for the rest of your life, just in case you decide to move. But a monopoly would be bad too, since they can dictate exam costs to a greater degree than it is now. These exams are expensive, and whatever they charge, you have to pay for it.
