OT: Countdown to the Advancement Exam

[Poli]

Well, folks, the E-6 exam is Thursday. I've studied my heart out this past month. I only wish I had known in April/May when the Bibliography came out that I was eligible. Assuming I don't make it, I'll be extremely prepared for the next exam.

----------------------------------------

The occupational references have assignment sheets attached (with the exception of the last two), and I have completed them. In the professional military references, only the NAVEDTRAS have assignments. Those are completed as well.

My test will be 200 questions, all multiple choice, and there is no penalty for wrong answers. 115 of the questions will be of the occupational field. The other 85 will be of professional military.

Scoring is kind of odd. The highest possible grade on the test is an 80. It's bell curved, and 50 is the median. The last rating exam I took was in March 2001, and I scored a 69 (which means I did better than 80% of the people taking that exam).

I totally don't feel like I'm ready for the exam. I wish I had known months earlier. I think I'm going to relax a bit over the next couple of days on my studying and take it easy.

Wish me luck.
