Know them all. Then get some more problems.



So just took my first practice exam in ASM as an assessment of where I'm at with Ch19 and 20 left to go, and I and got 20/25 - I am soooo pumped right now - I'm in very good shape for this exam *right now*, but there's still a lot more to do - Ch19 and 20, and just pounding out review problems. I want to go ape-s*** on this exam: Slit its throat and then take a crap on it.

Man, I sure hope that violent streak of yours is well-hidden at your workplace!

haha it is very well hidden, but I've found that it's great for getting a job done (passing an exam, working on a project or getting a job at an employer).

T-minus 43 days to game-time boys/girls.

That sounds a little harsh, but I do agree. I want to dominate this exam.

Hey, another question. How about those hundreds of graphs in the Greeks chapter. What is expected to be know about them exactly? Shape of each?

Thanks

That's a section I completely skipped. There is a note in there from Abe saying it's very unlikely to get a question on those and in the two times I've failed the test there weren't any Greek graph questions on them. I'd say just forget about it and focus on the harder material more.

Meh. I got caught up in work and forgot to register yesterday. Today, I keep getting a "connection was reset" error on their website. Awesome.
