Goodwill impairment - is it tested?

Yes, this is covered in LOS 30.i: Explain the impairment of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets. The Schweser Notes state that an impairment loss to goodwill is recognized when carrying value exceeds fair value. That should be all you need to know for Level I. The details of impairment for indefinite-lived intangibles, such as goodwill, are covered at Level II (the forum you refer to is Level II as well).
