@keycapt will you be doing any cram course or questions? Anyone know if key is doing this?

FranknBeans · Senior Member

Yano said he may do a 6 hour cram if there's interest in it and the place where he does the classes doesn't have anything booked.

His crams are identical to his lessons, just going over specific procedures. I want to get a different perspective on things to help stick out more.

Jibberjab · Senior Member

Also does anyone feel Mike's questions are not really geared towards captains at all? Feels like bunch of sgt question thrown in with very few capt ones.

Mike definitely recycled his Sgts/Lts material. I respect Mike, but he half-assed the Captains prep course. Very few Captain questions.

20n0ut · Veteran Member

yes very disappointing. For SGT and Lt hes aces. But Captain hes def lacking in questions

I'm just relaying info.

To me this whole thing feels like a cram session. Theres no way you can read 3-4 sections in a week and grasp everything.

FranknBeans · Senior Member

KEY just posted a cram course. Seems geared towards Sergents but they posted sergeant, lieutenant, and Captain.

KeyCapt · THE KEY—Instructor

Yes we posted an All Day Sgt Cram. This cram is strictly Sergeant material but for those studying for Lt and Capt you need to know everyones duties!!! We will be having a Capt cram as well, details to come soon....

Typically what is the percentage of captain only questions on the exam ?

-- Edited by 20n0ut on Thursday 14th of July 2022 09:00:34 AM

1hate6 · Veteran Member

41-47% typically

ROCKY IV SKIN · Veteran Member

The Key mobile app for sgts and lts was the best. Wish there was a capt one

20n0ut · Veteran Member

There is no money to made in the Captain course.

Guys make around 2.5-4 million for sgt exam if not more per school.

Figure Lt. 1/2 of that.

Captain only 700 people taking. So 300 per school at 800 a class only 240k.

HopeBoss · Senior Member

So how do people study for the captains test ?

Sgtnogood · Veteran Member

What kind of dumb question is that how do people study for captain exams everyone's study techniques are different some retain better than others. It's either you know the material or you don't

Asshole, it was meant as in do people just study the PG and AG on their own and guess which procedures will most likely appear on the exam? The promotion courses gives us guides on what to study, so If courses for the captains exam are subpar, how do people study for it ?

1hate6 · Veteran Member

key just sent an email bout capt cram course. 3 sundays in a row starting jul 31st

TenNinetyUnion · Veteran Member

Will the previous captain exam rewrites be included with the cram course?

1hate6 · Veteran Member

this is the email for reference

New2this22 · Veteran Member

Thanks for posting the email.

I took Elite for my Lts exam and did well. Did the same for this exam. As of right now i have done every activity, packet or question that was made available through Elites Captains course. I feel this exam course was rushed and should have been a 20 week course. I will be taking the Key cram course to get a different perspective as an earlier poster stated. Hope in the end its a fair exam. I put the time in and this is the last promotional exam for me.

1hate6 · Veteran Member

im hoping they put in a decent class before the test so i become eligible to take it. lol best of luck

tweezy · Senior Member

Is anyone doing the key? How are they with capts stuff or is it rushed with some bs questions?

KeyCapt · THE KEY—Instructor

Yes there will be prior Capt exam re-writes provided....

#bestinthebusiness

Leslie · Guru

Sticking to Mike's class. Might do the CRAM or not at this point it's all about reviewing the packets and I was worried about questions but he has so many it doesn't even matter. Wish someone would come up with a 100 question quiz isolating just capt's duties. I realieze they will question everything but I'm weak on the Capt's duties and that's the newest of information. Would be nice if one of these courses would just compile their existing capt's duties questions into just a 100 question quiz I'd pay to get my hands on that for this exam!

Chew11 · Senior Member

Does anyone know who was selected to write this exam? A lot of us never found out about Vucinaj until it was too late. Just curious if they would make that mistake again. If I had seen his name writing it in 2015 I would have stopped studying that moment after having a few interactions with him.

We have 2 100-question exam of just Captain duties.

Leslie · Guru

Already did, long ago, just not under this name.

Leslie · Guru

Rising star Capt's exam 1 & 2. How do they compare to the actual test? Are they on the harder side to challenge you? Or are they realistic to the exam. My vote is harder than one would expect based on the Lt's and Sgt's.

Theforceisstrongwiththisone · Guru

Captain Leslie..god help us all.

FranknBeans · Senior Member

Is the RS Final exam for captain's randomly generated?? Find it odd whole sections weren't asked at all...

After the sgt exam fiasco, you would be a dummy not the buy the rising star questions for this upcoming exam. You can make up the $200 at the West Indian Day parade!

The key captain rewite exam 1 is tough.

Chew11 · Senior Member

Very tough. Anyone know what year its based off of ?

Chew11 · Senior Member

Based on the fact it had 7 cims questions and one truant question I looked at the history sheet and I believe it was the 2010 exam. Not sure how big the list was in 2010 and I could be wrong.

TenNinetyUnion · Veteran Member

Very challenging exam.

Now I understand why the 2010 list was only 125 names confuse

-- Edited by TenNinetyUnion on Saturday 6th of August 2022 12:22:50 PM

KeyCapt · THE KEY—Instructor

Our first re-write, the one being mentioned was from the 2010 test. We removed the in-basket portion and 4 procedures that were revoked, so the test you took had 84 questions. The actual 2010 test had 537 filers, 427 people who actually showed up, and 129 passed with a passing ratio of 30.21%

LeggoMyEggo · Veteran Member

I got a 65 and my feelings hurt on the first KEY re-write..

Chew11 · Senior Member

68. Been studying hard. Im assuming the inbasket must have been fair for those who took it 12 years ago.

Drstylez12 · Senior Member

A couple of them were wacky thou, I wont mention which so not to spoil it for those who havent took it, but 1 or two of them has stuff going to certain people. But shoot what was up with them cims questions! Sheesh!

FYI: you mentioning CIMS questions is spoiling it.. Just saying

Drstylez12 · Senior Member

It was already mention up top that there were CIM questions so yeah.

LeggoMyEggo · Veteran Member

that is correct.. spoiler alerts X2..

Drstylez12 · Senior Member

Ok.

PD2FD · Guru

I got a 62 on the 2010 Captains Re-write. This exam was ridiculously difficult. Has anyone passed it yet?

Chew11 · Senior Member

Discouraging right ?

Godzilla · Veteran Member

Don't see it as difficult or discouraging.....see it as a way to not get it wrong ever again - meaning on test day.

Don't even worry about the practice scores. Just take it for what it is and polish up on some procedures. I got a 62 also, I'm not worried. Back when I was studying for Sergeant (2011) I took the Key rewrite of the 07 Sgts exam and got a 37 the Monday before the exam. I freaked out, but I buckled down and passed. Don't be discouraged.

I believe the rewrite was difficult and found myself scratching my head on a few of the questions. George also said during the Cram this past weekend that the original exam was extremely tough.
