Course 7 DONE!

Well it's been a little while since I've posted but it's been a hectic last month with the holidays and all. Let's see, what's happened since then........

I finished Course 5 with an A. It wasn't an easy course.

I have also completed Course 7. What is Course 7 you ask? It's the final exam course of the basic training section of the school. They test you on everything you have learned to this point and I mean EVERYTHING. I saw some test questions come up that I forgot were in the book and they took me a while to find them in the book to see if they really did teach us that stuff. Along with the written tests, two of them were 50 question tests and the last one was a 100 question test, we had to do about 25 projects ranging from changing brakes to performing various electrical tests and we had to do so without help from the instructor.

So what did I score you ask?

On the first test I scored an 82. The second I scored a 93. The last test a 73. The last test, the 100 question test, was no joke...neither were the other two for that matter. I was really caught off guard by a lot of the questions. According to the instructor a 73 is actually just above the average score. The average score is around 60. The highest score on the final test in our class was 84 or 86.

With regards to the lab score portion of the class, all the projects, I scored about a 98. With a 100 in Attendance and 100 in Professionalism, my final grade in the class ended up being....................(drum roll)............... a 92.56!


My next step is Course 7B. It's the course that everyone calls "the computer course". Basically we'll cover dealership procedure stuff. Paperwork, computer applications, crash estimates......that sort of stuff. It should be cakewalk. If I can run a home theater install office with 12 employees and 7 stores of salesmen and managers, I think I can handle a little computer work.
