There might be a job for someone who just taught a seminar about how to take tests. Reading comprehension is a huge part of why people fail, then there are just "test tricks" where you get inside the head of the guy writing the test and make educated guesses, even if you don't have a clue. I got a lot of that in both my Navy instructor training and my IBM instructor training but coming from the other side, not being too predictable. They do throw curves at you in tests that make them more complicated than "What is the maximum copper GEC size for a Ufer ground"?
I think a lot of otherwise talented electricians are failing the test, simply because they misread the question or don't understand where the test writer is going with it.
I can recall some of my mentors tutoring me for such things Greg.
But the fact is, maybe 2/3rds pass a Jman, and less than 1/2 pass a masters first shot
And that's not isolated to ONE state,last i heard we were subject to an eastern seaboard proctor ,maybe more?
So maybe the real problem here is just being disguised , overlooked, made excuses for, check
this out
