[QUOTE="Pollocknbrown, post: 272540, member: 10632"] It depends on the difficulty of the sort test, personally when i got the sort sheet and saw all the zip codes and colors (7 belts up here). I got a map of the US found out the states by zip codes and colored a map to learn it easier, and the states with a spilt on it (IE eastern PA goes orange and west PA goes tourquoise for us) i colored the map as that and put the specifics at the bottom of the map. And after that i became familiar with the PCs at my hub and studied on there so i would learn the test by the human readables as its quicker and easier to see, but if u learn it that way you'll have to learn all the exceptions to your local sort (buffalo has a split as well as rochester(which has no pattern its a few random zip codes) , coming out of buffalo (dont ask me why, makes no sense to us sorters either). But if you know it, and work hard up there, and dont jam up the traverses (if you have one belt with two colors, they split at the end, Sups hate un-jamming them) you'll be fine. [/QUOTE]
