[QUOTE="JohnDoe123, post: 3688134, member: 73933"] Know your 5's word for word and the bold part of the 10's while being able to explain them. Try to test out of them on Monday or Tuesday. 2 people failed because they waited too long to test out of them. They passed everything else that week but ran out of time on Friday. Sucks, but thats on them. It really is not that hard to memorize them. I just wrote them down a ton about a week prior to class. Even if you don't have them down pat on Monday still try to test out of them. They will help you remember them and it shows the instructors you are trying. NOBODY passed the driving test/commentary/drill on Tuesday. One person passed on Wednesday. 21 passed on Thursday. They try to stress you out that the driving commentary/drill is tough. Just show improvement each day and don't hit anything and you will pass. 2 people failed the driving test because of legit unsafe driving and not showing any improvement. Go slow with the integration station and try not to miss anything. Nobody failed the integration station. They don't care if you don't finish all the stops, they just want to see you apply what you have learned all week. Don't hit the fake child and don't leave the bulkhead door open. The pre-trip was actually tougher than I expected, but you get as many times as you need to pass (29 items within 3.5 minutes). Don't wait till Friday to do the Pre-trip because you can run out of time. They also have each team do skits each day, about 1 hour of DIAD training each day, and 8 other stations that you rotate around to (VR, Lifting, Slip n Fall, UPS Professionalism, package selection, etc), and about 2 hours of lecturing. I think they just want to put as much stress on you as possible to weed out the lazy individuals. Just show up on time, iron your clothes, and show improvement each and you will pass. The instructors are great and really want everyone to pass. They may act all tough at first, but if you show interest in learning and show that you applied what they teach then they lighten up. Oh, and the points that they give out/subtract all week don't mean anything, unless you want your team to win a stress ball and a toy UPS truck. [/QUOTE]
