My hands are about to fall off from all the writing. For those who passed the exam, did you study the definitions first or the signals? Just trying to get an idea of what to study first. I did 4 definitions and 7 signals a day, then the next day I would review an hour or so before starting the next batch, this leaves you a lot of time for review Also, anyone who passed the test on July 16 hear anything yet??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, you must get 100% correct on the signal names, so they are the most important part of the test. They are also the easiest thing you have to study, so it's a nice confidence boost when you are able to get them all done in about a week. Once you have those down, move onto the signal indications, so you can put some meaning behind the signals you just learned. And then finally do the definitions. You may want to intersperse some definitions in with the indications and do them together. Strange business studying signals not at same time as indications. I couldn't see myself learning them in 2 stages like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the exam, I actually went through and answered all the signal names first, then I went back and wrote out the indications later. I got 100, so it worked for me lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway you get it done is all that matters. I have classmates that learned from making audio logs of themselves reciting definitions. Worked for them but never could I do that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeybats Posted October 12, 2018 Share #1217 Posted October 12, 2018 So they ask you all 73 definitions and all signals on the exam? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They ask you 25 definitions and 25 signal names and indications. Chances are you’re not going to pass if you don’t know the entire study packet cold by test time though. If you know them cold it doesn’t matter if they ask you for 25 S&D’s or all 200. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have plenty of time. Just spend the next few days going strong and cleaning everything up. It’s not an easy exam by any means but it’s doable for anyone who puts in the time. I took the test back in May...... 36 people showed, 14 walked out, 10 failed and 12 of us passed. Go hard and you’ll be there at the end. Good luck to everyone on Monday!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
