    Good luck to all today. Doubt you'll need it but maybe you can use some for the general test after you pass the tech portion

    Everything I have researched for studying seems pretty old. Are the tests still utilizing this info or is there more up to date study guides? any advice on taking the test?

    I'm honestly not sure what I would ever use the additional privileges for.

    Maybe there's something I don't know about? :notsure:

    I missed it by 3 when I took it a few months back too. I didn’t realize you could attempt the test multiple times in one day though. Like @teamhypoxia said though I’m not sure I’d utilize the extra privileges, so I don’t know if I’ll ever try it again.

    I have a vague memory of someone telling @chenbro and I that we were taking the last "old" test and that things were changing. If that's true I suppose someone could be looking at old training material.
