Just remember the amount of time they give you study that information is sufficient. Read write recite. No way around it. I started with the easy ones first then kept adding a few more each day. You can have it all memorized by the end of the 2nd week. I did by the 2nd week. Not 100% verbatim but the 3rd week was to polish all of them verbatim and 4th was review. Your going to be studying all day round. Be disciplined. Take breaks in between to give your brain a rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard others have gotten 6-8 weeks. Thanks. 5 weeks. When you took the definitions portion, was there any rhyme or reason to it? More “short” definitions than “long” or was it totally random? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappi10 Posted March 19, 2018 Share #854 Posted March 19, 2018 4 weeks? No way. Everyone gets the same. No one gets 6-8. Everyone gets 5 weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to know them since you don’t know which 40 are going to be on the test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can’t believe we need to memorize 75+ multiple sentence definitions. I’m already starting to know what definition applies to each term, but I don’t know how I’m going to commit all of them to memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your writing hand doesn't hurt, then you're not studying enough. When you're starting to memorize them, start with the flash cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's alot of factors involved that nobody is quite sure of. One thing though, I was forced to change the phone number that was on my resume. I can't replace the number on my resume but I changed it on my profile. Which phone number are they more likely to use ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyCass89 Posted April 5, 2018 Share #868 Posted April 5, 2018 Got my Signal Aspects down REAL solid, the indications and definitions I am about 50% with about 2 weeks left but I am feeling pretty good, been reading writing and rewriting and rewriting. Flash cards for indications and signals have been unreal in terms of usefulness. The longer definitions I have just been writing them and reading them and having my wife quiz me. It has been tough and I am nervous but every day I progress and learn a little more and a little more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed how I was studying them and it just clicked. The indications and definitions are a different story. I’m getting there, but not as quickly as I’d like to. 2 1/2 weeks to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
