What's the point of taking an exam if they tell you what's in it?

 

jw, what the hell is a hunter safety equivalency exam?

In school they tell you what's gonna be on the exam by having you read certain chapters.

JW?
It's like the safety course you have to take to get your license except with the exam you don't have to do 10 hours of classroom.

 

Just wondering

 

oh ok. we have a hunter safety class, most meet 4 nights a week and on the last night they take a 100 question test. it’s not really all that hard, and you have to be 10 years old to take it.


they do offer an online test, but you still have to go in and take some other test/retest. and most the younger kitds/teens that take the online test get like a 95+ and then they go take the retest or what ever and fail really bad. you have to make like a 78 or something or better to pass. the parents get all mad and shit, but they probably helped the kids pass by giving them the answers or the kids try and google them, so they are not really learning the stuff.

 

Ahh, OK

I'd be fine doing something like that, but i'm supposed to be hunting this weekend with my cousins, so i'm gonna try to get my license ASAP.

We have a online thing also, you do a bunch of stuff online, then go in for a 4 hour classroom, but they don't have any of those scheduled for the next 20 days.

I'm gonna call back and ask what's on the test.

 

and this1 dang kids these days don’t know what JW is... I remember using that to shorten text back when i was in middle school and you were limited to how many characters you could have in a text. I think it was like 160 or something, which you used up really fast.

 

yeah i think it’s 4hours class room on the online test here. not sure. and idk bout the other test. usually they hold class monday,Tuesday, off Wednesday and class thursday and friday along with test on friday. It has been like 11 years since i took the test.

2 more boring hours of work.

 

I thought the hunter safety course was a good idea. We watched some crazy videos that scarred me for life. One was a guy that was in the desert in a jeep alone, it broke down, and he died while walking to find help. They showed his body burnt to a crisp by the sun after laying there 5 days. Another guy's whole foot turned black and had to be cut off from a snowmobile accident alone in the middle of nowhere. At 12 years old it never really sank in, but now I really think about that kind of stuff when I go and do dangerous activities. I will still do them but I try to have another person along in case something goes south.

 

i agree. i never go 4 wheeling in the mountains alone. me only take the rhino but at least someone els is with me.

 

One of the company's I was looking to get a job for asked if I was certified for legal purposes

 

Interesting. I don't see how that kind of certification could save you from legal issues. To me it just says you can prove you know how to use the software.

 

Ugh, been sitting in front of the college dorms for 20 minutes because they won't answer their phone...

 

I think I'm gonna skip class tomorrow. I seem to be coming down with a case of clinomania..

 

^ I actually looked up that word and it is real. I'm impressed.

 

I noticed this morning that one of my running lights were out. No big deal. Drove to the parts store after class and decided to double check it. And it was working again...

I'm onto you bulb...
