Al YOU HAVE A PHONE DON'T YOU, YOU HAVE A PENCIL TO WRITE A LETTER DON'T YOU, YOUR ON THIS FORUM AREN'T YOU, WELL GET WITH IT SEND IN SOME OF YOUR OWN QUESTIONS, THEY MIGHT EVEN GET INTO THE B C OR D LEVEL TEST>> Also I do not know of any respectable test where they give out all the questions to it. The idea of putting some questions up here that are not on the test just to get a feel for the type of questions is good. And YES Drake does have a great amount of clout in the testing business and IPC should listen to their comments for the test. Also your other comments about a designer doesn't need to know most of this stuff well , if you were having a house designed by an architect I suppose he doesn't have to know how a house is built either then. I would say this I sure wouldn't let that guy design my house. That is like saying he doesn't need to know that a standard sheet of plywood is 4x8 feet. I think the exam process is going along well and would just like to say that ALL THE DESIGNERS AND THE IPC that put in many hours to put this all together diserve a resounding applause. With anything you can't please everyone and there is allways some mistakes made along the way but for the most part this was a great effort. thanks bob wolfe
