Someone recently got caught not putting in the effort. Just remember there is no way to beat the system, even if you make the right scribbles on a test you will be found out elsewhere...there is no way to beat the system, you either know it or you don't. People don’t take me seriously. Lol. Guys. I made it to the end. Lol. I know what I’m talking about. Put the work in and you will make. You don’t put the effort, your just going to fail out the program and waste a seat that someone else could’ve been in. #facts. Training. department and HR don’t play around. If your struggling. YOU WILL BE MEETING WITH HR for the talking. Glad I wasn’t under that much pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believed you from the beginning and now I’m beginning to see it real time. There is NO cutting corners. One thing you will come to see is that none of the engineers will bullshit you. They tell it like it is and it’s a lot of WORK as you will hear or have heard. Book of Rules is a textbook and you will need to know it. I’m not even halfway through it and I’m stressing. But work at it and it will begin to stick. Everyone is different so you need to learn what works best for you. Listen to your mind and body. Good luck to those going to S&D. Everyday takes studying, don’t cheat yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said - that is not a guarantee that your interviewers will not ask any. Basic job interview type questions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t go off of anything on quizlet cause everything changes I would just wait till you get into phase one and Lucille sends you the stuff to start looking over my recommendation when you get that packet you start right away because when you get the real book of rules in phase one you will understand why just keep up with signals and definitions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Quizlet stuff for S&D was only about 90% accurate. Not good when it has to be verbatim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
