At this time, I feel the need to say a few things in regard to studying.  Make sure you are not spending too much time doing JUST questions.  Make sure that you understand the procedures and the material.  Questions are good but questions without the base knowledge, not so much.

Do yourself a favor, and spend a little more time studying the Patrol Guide and a little less time testing yourself.  The only test you need to get right is the 100 questions on test day.  If you feel the need to test yourself, make flashcards or something similar.

brat could not have stated it better, i feel doing too many questions just over whelms you. Flash cards are a superb way of making sure you commit lists and certain things to memory. Brat has always given good advice on this board, kudos to him, now it is time to buckle down for the home stretch.

Everyone studies different and has different techniques. I find questions very helpful, but I don't just answer them, I go back and review the procedures they pertain to if I got it wrong of even if I get it right but feel that I wasn't really confident about my answer. Bottom line everyone is different go with whatever you feel works best for you. But obviously you have to be putting time in at this stage of the game. Good luck to all taking both tests.
