Zander88 Posted February 17, 2020 Share #1958 Posted February 17, 2020 Are some of the Zone "A" signals no longer used? I noticed while on quizlet that some of the signals others had on there weren't in my study guide. I read on previous pages that definitions sometimes change. That was evident at the overview where the instructor had one thing up on the projector and the study guide had something else for one of the definitions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can change from one class to the next. As for Quizlet, make your own study set. Do not go by what was previously entered. Go by what the instructor gave you at the overview. That is what you will be graded on. The only thing I can think of with Zone A signals is that they used position light signals before changing them to color signals. Like I said before, go by what you have in the packet. The packet is your “bible” don’t let outside information sway you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After finding quizlet I then copied and pasted the Word document to make my own set. The signals I copied from someone else and had to correct a few things while editing my "version". I checked word for word that everything matched. That's where I noticed that some signal images weren't on my packet. I've been writing everything (definitions & indications) 5x each in a notebook. While driving I used to listen to podcasts but now listen to a recording of me reading everything. I have an hour commute each way. Feeling good about this at the beginning of my 2nd week studying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm feeling pretty good as well about studying. I've studied just definitions so far going page by page. I made flashcards then wrote each definition down until I essentially had it memorized. I've completed the definitions and this week is strictly review of all definitions in every way possible. Next week I'll tackle signals. Weeks 4-5 will be for review. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t put it down. One thing you will learn is how your own mind works. It’s an amazing muscle that can retain a lot of information.

Iwetoddit Posted March 14, 2020 Share #1974 Posted March 14, 2020 Next phase 1 is scheduled to begin around the end of April. Those that are waiting should gear up and begin reviewing if you haven’t done so already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
