    not quite, these are buildings that produce (manufacture, store or process) explosive materials, such as TNT, RDX, PETN, HNS, Lead Azide and such...the idea is to protect the workers and the process as much as possible.

    You can do it. Tab your Reference Manual in my case CERM book very well, and work as many practice problems as possible. I basically took two practice test one at the beginning one at the end, and worked about 40 problems for each section one week at a time tabbing my book and taking notes in it where need be along the way. Probably worked more than 40 transportation problems becuase that was the section of the test I took.

    Might as well put some extra curricular stuff on hold for a few monthes and get it over with.

    Sounds good - I'm taking the CE-structures test. So the morning test for both of us will be the same. Did they focus on any one topic in the morning session?

    I'm going to order my supplies in the next week or 2. That'll give me a solid 3.5-4 months of studying before the test.
