Study material written and/or compiled by a person who has been hired by the State
for the re-write of another DOCA state test, thus learning some techniques
behind writing their 'answer choices' and other test-question ideas!
--also: author/compiler has taught California state license testing
at private schools, businesses and universities since 1988,
and has easily passed multiple state licensing examinations himself!--
Additionally, author has a law degree and 3 years of law school,
allowing him to explain the legal portions to you more simply than others.

This month: new study questions added!

We are thePIgroup! 4000 members nationwide.

Statewide, this test has a high-failure rate.

Each re-test is another fee and more than a wasted month.

Candidates are permitted to take the examination
only four times in a 12-month period.

A notice confirming your eligibility for reexamination will be sent
approximately 90 days from the date of the last examination.

The test:

75 questions, on a computer

Multiple versions of the test

1 1/2 hours to complete

Multiple-choice

Given at many locations 6 days per week

--Many applicants fail the written exam.

--Many versions of the test (fail, and you
are later re-tested with a different test).
(You need to be prepared to pass all of the
many versions of the test, not just one!)

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 questions".
- or -
"I have failed the 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.
The truth is: you do not know these things, causing most to fail.

Don't choke when you see the study topics!

Another

Not all test-takers are required to get the same score to pass!

With some tests, a 73% is a PASS. Others, 73% is a FAIL!

Here's what the state says:
"Examinations often vary in difficulty depending
on the form of the examination administered.
For this reason, the passing score is determined
using a criterion-referenced method
rather than a set score or percentage.
Applying the criterion-referenced method,
the difficulty of each item on the examination
is evaluated relative to the minimum
competence standard for safe practice.
As a result, the passing score is lower for
difficult examinations, and is
higher for easier examinations,
providing a safeguard to both
the candidate and the public".

BONUS: Pass with our material, we can make you a simple webpage FREE!
(If you don't have a webpage, the public & businesses can't find you to hire you.)

Packages might have somequestion pages,
to stimulate your crematory manager thinking;
and instead of giving you the answers,
we instruct some research for you to do!
Not to be ignored-- you might be tested on these . . .

Can include more 'KEY-FACTS KNOWLEDGE

From a 30-year teacher of California state-licensing skills and test help:



WORST possible study methods:
1) Seminars, and 2) studying with multiple-choice questions
(low retention percentage, too many words per actual needed knowledge)

BEST possible study method:
reading Question/Answer, Question/Answer, Question/Answer,  . . .
(data direct to memory, higher word priority)
