Just keep doing your best.  The time you spend working for him will be short, but the evaluation he writes about you will follow you for your entire career.  Keep up your military bearing and do the best job you can.  Good luck!

hey marina\nCHILLAX\n\ni. Revision tips\n\nDevelop a timetable to monitor your progress. Make sure you allocate adequate time for fun and relaxation as well. \n\nWhile revising a subject, practise writing. This would be an actual simulation of the examination itself. Plan your revision and complete it in time. This will give you a sense of achievement and build your confidence.\n\nWhile revising, vary subjects and their difficulty so you don't get bored or disheartened. Set realistic targets of what you can achieve in the time available. \n\nSpend as much time on recall as on reading. Practise by writing answers as you would do in the exam. This will help you remember the important points when you answer each paper. \n\nPractise writing answers under exam conditions. Take three hour tests, without a break in between, preferably at the same time as that of the exam. This will help your body clock adjust to the examination time and conditions. \n\nii. Time out\n\nTo prevent mental fatigue, take a short break as soon as you notice your mind is losing concentration. Stick to activities that do not break your study continuum during these breaks. Avoid television and loud music. You will then be able to come back to your revision refreshed.

Piece of cake. As long as paid attention in class, have gone over the driver's ed. training book, and have prepared yourself, you should pass with flying colors.\nGood luck.

Take it one day at a time. \n\nTry not to fall behind. Keep up with your reading and take\ngood notes.\n\nMaybe form a study group. Compare notes with each other and offer encouragement.\n\nMy best friend is a nurse. The hardest part for her was learning the drugs. She had note cards she had to memorize. \n\nDon't be afraid to ask for help. You have trouble with anatomy or another  class, seek out a tutor before you get too far behind. \n\nTake advantage of any classes or sessions that offer help- like a class on how to study for science, etc. or, if the prof offers help. Go. Make your self known. It doesn't hurt to let the prof know you are interested in doing better. \n\nGood luck. You have chosen a very worthy profession.

Don't forget to pray also.good luck!

What I did in College to "memorize" info was make one handwritten sheet front and back of what I felt were the most important things ie: most likely to be on the test. I went over them again and again until I could tell you everything that was on them. To do this I would first take down notes from the text book. I then took my lecture notes and notes from the text and saw the points that overlapped, those are likely the things that will be on the test. I used those overlaps to make my study sheets.\n This method would work well for the 4 subjects that require memory. Limiting it to one sheet front and back makes the amount more doable. Doing it this way you have already added a few more times through the material as well.\n  The best way to feel less overwhelmed by the amount of information that you need to learn is to have a plan as to how you are going to do it.

My selection process was as follows and I'll start at the very beginning:\n\n1.) Medical Physical&#92;ASVAB test to decide placement (Job qualification)\n2.) Orlando, Great Lakes or San Diego (Bootcamps - Orlando is closed now)\n3.) A-School (Training for your job rating, usually lasting four to eight weeks)\n4.) Before leave assigned duty station. \n5.) 2 Weeks Leave (Optional)\n6.) Report to Duty Station\n7.) Spend 6 months at duty station eligible to submit "Request Chit" for BUDS (E-2 and above may submit for BUDS).\n8.) Pre-screen to include intense medical physical, strengent excercise quals, deep sea hyperbaric chamber testing, final canidate eval, reporting date to BUDS.\n9.) Arrive BUDS, early morning I-Doc\n10.) Weeks 1 through 4, seperates the weak from the strong, by intense mental and physical training, many drop voluntarily during this time.\n11.) Weeks 5 through 8, voluntary droppers are no more, dropping mostly by qualification times in Team excercise events as well as individual events.  At this stage your immune to the B.S. but not the immune from the pain of the tests and excercises which are just about constant throughout the day...\n12.) Week 8 through 10, begin Scuba classes and underwater training and survival.  Assigned wetsuit, knife.  Test become harder and more challenging not only physically but mentally as well. Lots of pool time and classroom time, learn about rebreathers, and other devices as well as personal underwater gear.\n13.) Weeks 10 through 15 Continue water survival, becomes more advanced, learn EOD, deep submersion tests, as well as deep escape from pressurized enviroments.  Lots of classroom time as well as pool time.\n14.) Weeks 16 through 20, water training continued instructors aren't easier but there is a sense of respect and you aren't treated like a scrub.  Most that have made it to this point have strong probability of passing BUDS.  Jungle survival, land reconsience, geographical above and underwater mapping, Team activities, War games usually on nearby training Island, escape and evasion tactics, live fire excercises, CQB training.\n15.) Weeks 21 through 27, Final testing, 14 mile ocean swim( bay) without fins, 23 mile run (boots and shorts timed), written tests, final medical and performance eval.\n\n\nSome of your weekends are free some aren't...You have the option to live on base or off.  After graduation, you will go to Fort Benning, Georgia to Jump school and spend six weeks training at low jumps, static line (500ft), (1000ft), 12000ft). High jumps (freefall)at 15000ft +, usually assisted with O2 breather, both Night and Day time qualifications needed with High Jump. \n\nAfter Fort Benning, you have the option to take leave, you are given your duty station an TEAM that your assigned to.  Each TEAM specializs in their own tactics and training.  Upon arrival at your Duty station training will continue but be more detailed as to that particular TEAMS speciality.  Have the option of getting EOD qual.  Your paid standard danger pay E-4 ($150 month), E-5 ($210), E-6 ($320) and so on.  Even though their are officers in the BUDS program, everyone is a scrub, there are no yes sirs except to the instructors.\n\nOnce classified as a SEAL, you are given special priviledges, these priviledges are not spoken but known throughout the Navy i.e Can grow hair longer, E-3's allowed to have facial hair, respect lots of it from both Officers and Enlisted alike.  \n\nThere was much more than this in my training, however this will give you a quick over-view of what happens.

how long do you have before youre test date? i recommend breaking your studying into different sections, and making time every single day. you probably should take a sample test first to see what areas you need the most improvement with. you can get a sample test here: http://www.ssat.org/\n\nfor math it's pretty easy to brush up on the basics if you understood the main concepts the first time you learned them in school.\n\nfor vocabulary there are vocab lists you can get to study from (which is basically like memorizing) but i've always found looking at the words themselves to be most helpful. break them down into parts. the word "confusion," for instance, looks like "con" and "fusion." you can figure out that "fusion" is the noun form of "to fuse" which would be bringing together different parts. "con" is a negative, or the opposite of something, so con-fusion would seem to be breaking up the parts that were once together. that's not exactly the precise definition but it gets you close enough that you could guess the right answer from your choices (you know it's negative and about order or disarray). try to approach your multiple choice questions that way, by eliminating the options that definitely don't work.\n\nfor reading they're testing how well you understand what you're reading and can figure out the main points of the paragraphs. try to summarize the essays into one or two sentences. what is the new idea the author is trying to say? what wouldn't be common knowledge? a lot of times the extra details aren't as important.\n\nfor writing make sure your grammar is perfect: noun, verb, punctuation. also try to write a paragraph the same way the reading selections are formed: include a topic sentence and then explain in more detail why you are claiming what you do.\n\nyou might make a light mark to the left of any answers you skip if you're not sure of them, so you can go back if you have time. but focus on getting as many answers done as you can from those you're more confident about.\n\ngood luck!

Don't know location but in sunny south us of a we use the DARE Program available through local police, they'll even do the lesson for you. If any military nearby , contact post information for name and number of drug information officer. Usually a 2nd Lt. who gets stuck with job but MUST perform to make 1stLt. Very good source. Contact a military recruiter even, they can wade thru the red tape for you.

Study your manuals and not take shortcuts as if you do you will short yourself and the next level will be harder. Sounds preachy but the course is to better you. I've taken lot's of those courses and when I went to Iraq I was amazed at the little things that pertained to my MOS that I found useful.

God Bless you and thank you!  My son is at infantry basic training at Fort Benning and we just welcomed my daughter (Air Guard) home from Iraq.\nMy advice for boot camp would be to make sure your loved ones write to you and OFTEN and that they understand you probably won't be writing back too often but you need their support!\nIf you aren't used to working out, start!  Run, walk, do pushups, situps anything to help your endurance.  Start going to bed early and rising before dawn, just the little things so the bootcamp schedule isn't more of a shock to your system than it already will be.\nAnd be proud of yourself, you accomplishing something!  Your country loves you and believes in you!  You must too!

Look on the DOP website for sources used in making up the exam.  They will cite the law, e.g. 2C, and a few books.  These books will most likely have nothing to do with your job but there will be questions on the test based on the books so buy them and study.  Take Bernstein's course if you need help in study skills but don't count on him to have the answers like he used to.  Whatever you do, DON'T TAKE GROTH'S COURSE!!!  He is an arrogant slob that knows nothing about test prep.  He gets the answers from past tests and hopes that the same questions will be repeated next time.  I should know how I did on a promotional test without anyone's help.  I'll update my answer to let you know if I faired better than those that took courses.  In the end, your effort will determine your results, not some self-centered quack.
