Overwhelming dont worry that’s nothing like phase l my best advice is that you guys put everything into index cards and make sure you check you wrote the signals indications and definitions exactly word for word. Thanks for the advice. My overview is tomorrow and then it's Go time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm5291 Posted July 17, 2018 Share #1052 Posted July 17, 2018 Hey guys, long time reader first time poster. I was at the S&D yesterday, Monday 7/16. My concern is that I heard the instructors say over and over that we have 136 signals to memorize and score 100% perfect on. But upon making my flashcards and going through the study packet I'm only counting 135 signals. Did anyone else come across this too? I don't know if the instructors mistakenly said 136 and meant 135 or if I actually am missing a signal from my study material. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying not to panic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
republic Posted July 17, 2018 Share #1053 Posted July 17, 2018 Hey mrm, I was there yesterday, too. Are you as overwhelmed as I am? The only thing keeping me sane is that everyone reacts the same way in the beginning, but manages to get it done. I also have 135 signals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey republic, I'm relieved to know you have 135 signals as well. Can anyone who recently took the S&D exam confirm this?? Yeah I'm doing my best not to drive myself crazy. There's been hundreds of people who have done it before. It is certainly possible. We have much work to do, need to keep the motivation in mind all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev2112 Posted July 30, 2018 Share #1056 Posted July 30, 2018 Got emailed for the S and D overview on 8/11. Luckily my cousin is an engineer and gave me the S and D packet when I got called for the open house, and I've been studying ever since. Best of luck to everybody. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bway279 Posted August 8, 2018 Share #1061 Posted August 8, 2018 My guess is that they're waiting to fill a class for phase 1. S&D tests on 18th and the 20th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then probably some time October or November. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev2112 Posted August 22, 2018 Share #1067 Posted August 22, 2018 The definitions are coming to me easy. Still not sure how to attack the signals. Anyone have any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggburns Posted August 22, 2018 Share #1068 Posted August 22, 2018 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say enough good things about Quizlet. I made index cards but I found Quizlet to be so much more helpful, in fact, I wound up not even using the index cards. First I learned the Zona A aspects because there are fewer of them. I started by keeping them in the same order and after I was confident enough, I set Quizlet to scramble them. Next I learned the Zone C aspects. Same thing, first in order, then scrambled. Finally, I scrambled both Zone A & C together. It took me seven days to get to that point. With Quizlet on my phone I was able to practice a few aspects any time or place I had the chance. Waiting on line at Stop & Shop, I pulled out my phone and practiced a few signals. I would never have been able to do that with my index cards. You'll start seeing patterns and similarities and eventually it will click. Just keep putting in the time and you'll get it. One thing about Quizlet, if you decide to use it, don't use anyone else's sets. Make your own. All of the signal images are there, you just need to type the names and indications, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
