However, if you study and learn all the questions, you will not be confronted by any you don't know.

Yeah, but not everyone has access to the right answers. That was my situation, for example.

I've been thinking of making an answers guide to the study guide. I wrote down all the answers during the seminar, and I've got a good memory so I could explain them. Does anyone think it would be worthwhile?

Your seminar went through the study guide? :eyeroll:

And this is (part of) why they're reworking the list of people authorized to give the clinics. And why they're reordering the sequence to be test then clinic then practical. People think the clinic is to help pass the written test... completely NOT the point.

I fenced at the Div II/III NAC held at Yale U. in '99
the venue was a large rec hall with a glazed roof, rather a cool structure
the sun problem late in the day was resolved by having the fencers switch sides a 7 touches. that seems fair.

I think just by looking at my signature line would tell you how I feel about yours and KD5MDK.

You may be able to ace the test, but will you be able to apply the rules on the strip. On the strip, there is no, we will take all situations from the study guide.

What has been most useful to me is to take the study guide and look up the pertinent rule and then write in the rule number on my study guide.

But this only works if you do it yourself. By going through this procedure yourself, you do find the correct rule but also you convince yourself that other rules do not answer this question. You wind up examining a lot of rules.

If you had a guide to what is the correct answer, you would not have studied any rules. You might pass the test but what does it mean? Do we want parrots refereeing?

If someone else made up a guide for which rule applied to which question, you would only study those rules and not the other closely related rules.

When I want to review, I know which rule to go back to. Personally, I can then recall the other closely related rules and why they were not the relevant ones. This may not be true for everyone.

So this is an example of conservation of difficulty. Or, there is no free lunch. You have to make the effort yourself to study and understand the rules. (An echo of DHCJr here?)

Doing it this way does depend on the FOC preparing questions which lead you to study the correct rules. I have often thought that it might be better if there were a greater number of study questions, which would then lead us to having to study a greater number of rules.

Sometimes the most benefit comes from the questions for which there is no answer, or where the guide contains alternatives which equally apply. Then you really have to study the rules to convince yourself.

Permit me to rephrase my previous statement. If you learn the answer to all the questions in the Question Bank, you will not be tested on a question you do not know.
