Ok, OK OK, I have started to study.
« on: March 19, 2012, 12:36:59 AM »
Feeling left out and under tremendous peer pressure, I have fired up HTOL again to finish the Extra.  Well now I am 8%  ::)  Whoo Hooo. only 92% to go  :-[

Eventually you will get to the point that you are saturated and you can't help it. You will have to just go for it and then...

YOU PASS.

Good for you AD. Good luck.
I am sure that between PLA and myself that we could come by at your office and ELMER you to death with our VAST memory of the answers :) 
(note I did not use knowledge :D)
Books I highly recommend:

One Second After
Under the Dome
Earth Abides
The Road
The Stand

well...  I'm still only General.  Does this mean I have to study too?

I couldn't find the extra pool with correct answers only, so I wrote a script to extract the correct answers from the question pool (based on the answer letter being next to the question number)

AD my friend, go get another cup of coffee.  I had quoted Rob's post so it would be clear that I was responding to him.  As for Phoenix ... well, you never really know where I'll turn up.

HTOL claims I'm solid on tech and gen (98% and 95%, respectively) and I've now seen half the extra (solid on 25%) - still plugging away.

I'll get it when I get it.  If you want to place bets, the real money's on the point spread.
