Yeah you are right just read it enough times and it will stick... However the way the rising star wrote questions which initially did trick you into picking the first answer that looked good and ended up being incorrect was mostly like this exam... after a while doing their 1000 questions you learned to relax and read the whole question and all of the answers before jumping to an answer... just my opinion

Grade school prepared me pretty well on how to read and memorize. The schools helped narrow down the bloated patrol guide. They gave me packets that were verbatim from the patrol guide so I didn't actually have to open that book.
