We are NOT a boring seminar!
We are NOT a boring online prep!
We are NOT a pdf download!
We hear the same thing, every week:
"The material from the State didn't help at all".
- or -
"The stuff the State sent me was only good for a few of the questions".
- or -
"I have failed the license test 3 times, and each time it was a different test".
Well, this is TRUE. And here's why-it-is-what-it-is.
The State is here to regulate you, NOT to educate you.
They provide you information on things that they can fine ($) you for.
They do NOT help you with the majority of the test.
It is an 'experienced-based' examination.
Most of the test is about knowledge you supposedly have from not only from
alarm work, but also from running a business and from being an employer.
The truth is: you do not know most of these things, causing most to fail.
Testing secret #3
Watch out for these types of answer choices:
SIMILAR ANSWER CHOICES
Sometimes more than one answer choice
will look the same-- but there will be
a small
difference if you look close!
Studying helps prepare you for these-- and much more!
