<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times','serif'">my favorite part
of the test was sitting for an ultra detailed exam that expected you to have
certain things memorized that no engineer or electrician does't use resources
for (like voltage drop, lag bolt ratings, and the rest) and getting the letter
with the test location with the wrong address on
it!</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times','serif'">Nick I agree,
but what really got me was all the "most safe" questions. I am glad that it is
hard, however, because now that a c-10 can take it after 2 installs I think it
is pretty hard to really expect too much respect. That being said, combined
with my 6 years of installing, it is a nice additional
credential.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
