GLIDEANGLE 1 #3 August 5, 2009 Don't sweat it. Neither of those tests is difficult. I suggest that you simply read the material identified for each exam in the SIM and take the test. I WAY over-studied for both. Here is what is on each exam: http://www.uspa.org/SIM/Read/AppendixB/tabid/175/Default.aspx Doing the interactive quizzes at the end of each Category of Section 4 of the on-line SIM would be a good start. http://www.uspa.org/SIM/Read/Section4/tabid/166/Default.aspxThe choices we make have consequences, for us & for others!

jsreznor 0 #4 August 5, 2009 the only two questions i got wrong on the B test were about the pilot -how long must a pilot wait after having an alcoholic beverage before he/she can fly? -how far from the base airport can a pilot go and discharge skydivers? both answers are at the VERY end of the SIM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #7 August 5, 2009 Quote Hey... That's great advice. Too bad I asked about practice exams so I could check my knowledge. I'd recommend just taking the tests. If you've done the reading, you'll be fine. Even if you haven't you'd probably be fine. The tests are multiple choice and on many of the questions, the wrong responses are so obviously wrong as to be laughable (though there are others where there are multiple plausible answers). If for some reason you don't get a passing score (which I believe is 75%), you can retake the tests."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

mmacro 0 #9 August 6, 2009 I know... It is just that I'm almost 2 hours from the DZ and I just want to be sure I can knock it out in one shot with no retests. It looks almost for sure I will be able to attend this year's Black & Gold competition held by the Golden Knights for military recreational jumpers. I will not have enough jumps to compete (I'll have 100 +/- out of the 150 required). But I thought if I could get my B license I might be able to get coached on some camera work as well as RW. Since I am a military photographer I would love to start filming jumps and I can't think of who else to get get off on the right foot with (except maybe N. Kent) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #10 August 6, 2009 Quote But I thought if I could get my B license I might be able to get coached on some camera work as well as RW. If you've been reading the SIM you'll know that the USPA recommends a C license before jumping camera. I'd definitely encourage you to take advantage of on-the-ground coaching from the big names if they're available, but with 100ish jumps you can likely expect them to advise you to wait before you actually start jumping with one."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

mmacro 0 #11 August 6, 2009 Key word "recommends." And your making assumpitons about what I was expressing. While I will never do anything to put myself in danger, I also will make use of the opportunity to advance into the slice of jumping I really want to get into. Of my 96 jumps so far it's easy to say that 90% of them are solo or in small groups of 2 or 3 jumpers. My stability and control is very good. And you will notice I did not mention that I wanted to start jumping cameras that weekend. I was thinking more along the lines of how to fly my body and work with camera suits. Since I don't have a helmet that I can mount a camera it isn't even an option. But I would be stupid to pass up the chance to jump with Golden Knights that could help me with the easiest part of the transition - how to fly like a cameraman.

Olizre93 0 #12 November 12, 2018 Internet has helped us study and understand things in a better way. I remember finding the Best LSAT Prep Course for myself online and it is because of that course that I am studying in one of the best law schools of the country. I am sure you will be able to find good practice tests here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
