    Good luck. R&R and cigar afterward sounds like a good idea - you've earned it.

    Buzz is that test to become a fireman? Several of my buddies have taken that exam and I rememeber all too well how they fretted over it. Good luck, I'll gladly light a stick on Friday for you and let us know how you did when the results come in

    Nah, my dad was a firefighter and I thought about going that route, but I don't do well with blood and when I started looking at the EMT training books I may or may not have passed out... repeatedly.

    The test is an Engineering exam that (if I pass) gives me the ability to design Fire Protection systems and then stamp and sign them. Currently, I do FP sprinkler design, but the registration will allow me to market into other areas of Fire Protection (smoke control systems, etc.)

    Basically, it gives me the ability to take responsibility for my designs, and then get sued when something goes wrong.

    Good luck with the exam, man.

    What's helped me the most when taking standardized tests is trying to find some kind of sample test, so I get used to the types of questions asked and the types of answers they are looking for. I know the GRE was this way - hardest test I've ever taken.

    Good luck!

    Engineering... Bahh....

    Someone talked me into studying Engineering. I thought I was going to learn how to drive a train - instead I got hit with some SERIOUS math and physics...

    Take home and open book exams were the absolute worse...
