I passed!
I got an 83% so I'm by no means a perfect example but here is how I prepared and my advice. The Westinghouse provided training course was the primary material and therefore the most pertinent information for the test. Pay attention to the quizzes at the end of each module as they are most similar to the actual test questions. This also gives you more specific "learning objectives" which are what you are tested on. For the past 2 days I have used the practice tests (100 and 200) provided here. They help as refreshers but the test itself was much more theory than math. The GPT helped break down concepts and terminology for those struggling with acronym fatigue. It also can provide quick cheat sheets on important relationships between concepts. Which I found helpful to solidify what did what. As a supplement to the tests provided here, I would study more of the following. Common isotopes from fission, corrosion products, and coolant. The sampling methods used to isolate noble gasses and Iodine. The reactivity chart. Safety procedures and contamination control. For those not mechanically inclined, brush up on valve types and components. I wish everyone the best of luck! 80% is all you need!

@Michael Weis I don't think I am a particularly good example on this front. Honest answer the Westinghouse course, that is supposed to take 40hrs, took about 12hrs. I had spent maybe 4 hours doing some studying prior to taking the course. Then spent about 6 hours studying the day/night before the test. These are what I would consider active study hours. I think mentally reviewing the material in your spare time is a powerful technique to cementing information. I often talk to myself as though I am teaching the concepts to someone else. It's a little weird but I find it super effective. Your mileage may vary.

@Michael Weis my degree is in theater performance. I have spent years memorizing lines and scripts. Fortunately for me I also have a fairly high aptitude for chemistry and physics. So I would say a little column A, a little column B. I HIGHLY recommend teaching the imaginary student. It is a super power for not only memorization, but also actual understanding and internalization of a subject.
Jr. RP Fun 1 Exam
Hey everyone - I take the exam next week for the Jr. RP Fundamental 1 courses with Westinghouse and wondered if anyone had any pointers? Will I need a calculator to do the math questions? How math heavy is it? Any other helpful tips or hints would be great. I've been studying the manual and I've taken the practice quizzes in here but anything else anyone has would be welcomed!

I'll be taking my test with Westinghouse the morning of the 6th! Good luck!
