   SD>I have the book in a drawer here.  Have to clean off the mouse turds though   
   SD>(damn field mice are invading my shed).  I should go ahead and study that   
   SD>while I have the time.   
      
     For ARRL/VEC, it's a 40 question open book, untimed exam...you fill it   
   out at your leisure...2 hours, 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, etc. None of   
   this filling it out, and you hear "STOP!! PUT YOUR PENCIL DOWN!!", as   
   you cuss violently under your breath!! :P   
      
   SD>I sat down with all 500+ questions and memorized the answers then took the   
   SD>test.  I know it's not the right way but it's the best way.  Though now,   
   SD>looking over some of the questions, I have been looking up the explanation   
   SD>behind the answers.   
      
     I downloaded the manual in PDF format (a new version is to come out   
   this summer), looked at the question, went to the index, and found what   
   I needed. I later went back, and read the entire manual, though. There   
   are a couple you have to think about, but it's common sense.   
      
     Yet, you'd think after having done over 200 sessions since October,   
   2007, that I'd know what I'm doing (hi hi).
