One is the International Certified Crop Adviser (ICCA) exam that has 150 questions, and the second exam is the Prairie Provinces Certified Crop Adviser (PCCA) exam that has 100 questions. The American Society of Agronomy publishes performance objectives outlining the knowledge and skills covered by the International exam questions. The performance objectives outlined in this document represent the knowledge and skills covered in the PCCA exam questions.  \nThe Exam Committee, under the direction and approval of the PCCA Board, revised and updated the previous 2014 PCCA performance objectives in the fall of 2019 and early 2020. This document will help you prepare for the PCCA exam questions.
