What it takes to get through GFES (so far)

So every successful person wants to share his/her insights and such on how to get ahead, right? Well here is how it is for us and we have all been successful (so far). I will use today’s subject as an example. I hope you enjoy the info and the irony. By the way, the company has been gregarious enough to provide us with laptop computers and a wireless network with all of the training materials provided in advance. The topic in question is “Demineralizers and Ion Exchangers.”

Yesterday afternoon, uploaded the powerpoint presentation and the student handout. Reviewed all 117 slides and discovered that the first 20 slides were review questions from previous topics and the last 10 were review questions from this topic, and there were 5 slides of objectives. Reviewed the student handout’s 15 pages. Uploaded the topic NRC exam bank questions and answered all of the questions (once) using the provided material.

This morning opened the powerpoint, and topic NRC exam bank on computer, obtained hard copy student handout from initial non-licensed training course. During class reviewed the NRC exam bank and student text while the instructor was presenting the powerpoint and highlighted exam answers and calculation techniques in the student text.

Following the 2.5 hour presentation and lunch with blog posting, answered the entire topic NRC exam bank..again. With several hours left of the day, review reactor theory and thermo.

And so it goes

  1. If anyone is getting ready for the GFES, a couple good (and free) exam prep sites are NRCprep.com and nuclear.allenmurrow.com
