I found the 50 question written test easy-missed one poorly worded question ...
if you think PADI-ese is challenging at the open water course level... wait till you see a DM exam
Biggest word of advice for a student: take your time
There is no reason to rush through the exam; it wont get you anywhere quicker. Seriously... PADI loves to play word games and a number of questions will hang on semantics such as WHICH ITEMS ARE NOT... or WHICH ITEM IS WRONG and the way it gets worded, if you are rushing, it is rather easy to miss a 'NOT' or other similar modifier
Is there a writen test? If so is it open book? I have started reading the book. The class will start in May.
Amen to that ... had the exact same thing happen in my nitrox class. I'm not sure some people really get the concept of adult/continuing education.It always annoys me when some in a class are starting to do all this as the class starts and an instructor has to take time to mention stuff that should already be known.--Like in Nitrox Class, when a half hour was spent reviewing the RDP AIR tables. Good luck.
Here is a misconception......
"The quizzes and tests are corrected to 100% after you take them anyway. It's not like you are going to fail. Some people..."
Actually not true, if you do not get 100% the first time, material will be gone over.....but until your instructor is satisfied that you understand the material, you will not pass.
