Study
Stop Studying 2 hrs. before the test and relax your mind, get good food and rest.
Bring your ID to the testing place, Use you SS# to set up the test, don't forget this number its your access back to the test or certification in the future.
You will be given a blank paper and a PT Chart.
Once you start the test, draw the refrigeration cycle and mind dump the 2 charts with dates, % and leak rates while its fresh.
Start answering questions and use your new notes to help
Use the PT chart to answer temperature or pressure questions.
Also note a lot of information is posted at the top of the PT chart that can be helpful!!!
Use the Ref cycle to answer some of the questions. Apply the answers to the cycle to see what makes sense and what does not.
Pick the better of the answers or the least wrong answers.
If you don't know one at all just guess and mark the number down, you can always go back
Make sure you answer ALL the questions, nothing left black,
Do not change answers other than the ones you mark. The one you marked the first time is probable the right one.
Don't worry about failing it, take 24 hrs off, study the section you failed and then retry.
Don't immediately retake the test after you failed it.
YOU CAN DO IT!
