Good luck on the exams. Listen closely to the instructions of the evaluator. The day I took the practical portion of my National Registry Exam was one of the most stressful days I have ever had <img src="images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />. They herded us into a large room at the fire academy during the summer, it was not air conditioned, so it was around 90+ degrees. They gave each of us a number and you had to wait for your number to be called for each of the 5 stations. Waiting in that heat, wondering how you did, since they would not tell you until the end of the day, just added to the stress. The written exams for both the National Registry and Maryland were not to bad. Pete
