I learnt the aspects first, as many as you can per day. Put them on index cards separating each aspect. There are more than 1 aspect for each signal. After I remembered all the aspects I then learnt the indications. Once all remembered, I studied it every day mixing up my pile of index cards. Each day study what u remembered the days before and continue to add to your pile. If you study every day, you will prevail!

Just want to throw it out there, after I passed the initial and called in for signals and definitions and passed that. I waited almost 10 months to get called for phase 1. Of course I got discouraged and lost faith but continuously stayed positive and hopeful, still reviewed the signals and definitions to stay on top of my game. My point is stay positive, it may not happen right away but just stay on top of your game and your chance will come.

My interview was end of last April and I go over the s&d's once a week. I also lost hope but you never know so it's better to be fresh.
