Well that's great to hear, Buckie -- sounds like it's going great for you.
Some of the lists of study material posted literally include 20 sources. Wow -- what kind of spaceship are we building???..... What materials are you concentrating on? I'm sure my intelligence is about average on a good day -- but honestly, I'm thinking I'll read Ballast and Kaplan and then take the CDS test (my first)... any thoughts?
I've been working in the field quite a while -- doing everything from design to project management -- do you (or anyone else) have any input as to whether that affects necessary study time?
Thanks --

Well if that doesn't perfectly describe the current atmosphere...! I think you're exactly right.
I'm just beginning the process -- how long are most people studying for each exam? Makes me wonder-- some of the posted study lists look mountainous!

I've already failed CDS my first time in January, but I feel i know the material pretty well and may have just been unlucky and got a tough exam that time. I figured that since everyone says that these two exams have a ton of overlap, why not just take them both the same day? The vignettes for these seem pretty straight forward (I passed the CDS vignette when i took it). Crossing my fingers and hope i pass them both!
