    hey guys!
    been a little sick!
    We have an RSES midwest conference March 24-25-26 here in kansas City.
    I am going to try for my 4th S !!!!!!!!!!!
    I think I will try either Dynamic compressors , heating or commercial refrigeration? Not sure?
    I am sure though that I will not pass either one of those the first time!!!!!!!!!

    I thought I would do best on the compressor exam but the guys I talked to who took it as a beta in Atlanta said even Wes Taylor could not pass it!!!!!
    Hell he practically wrote it!!!!!!!!!!
    nobody at the beta passed it!
    Do you think they try to make a test nobody can pass?
    I have a very good friend who is the service manager here in KC at Hussman, he is the best refer guy I have ever known! No offense Jeremy!
    He missed the commercial refrigeration by one question...

    · Dynamic Compression
    · Heating
    · Heat Pump
    · HVACR Electrical


    I would like to take one I would do well on? just not sure???????????

    Fortunately for me, I kept the certificates they sent. I faxed them over and my wife got a call today stating that I have been correctly recognized as Jeremy Smith CM.

    Soon time for an 'S' .....

    What the heck???

    It costs $25 to try. NATE is something like 5 times that for an easier test.

    I'll try it, try to force myself to slow down and actually READ the questions and all of the answers and see how I do.

    For whatever reason, I have always been a person that tests well.

    I'll brush up on some formulas before test day and, pass or fail, I can say that I tried...wasn't it Babe Ruth who said you miss 100% of the balls you don't swing at.

    I understood that the first CM test was free.

    Any specialist cost $25.

    I am open to being wrong, though. Having passed a couple, I would be very inclined to believe you, Frank.

    Good morning Bret and everyone, my first day off (I think), sense I hung out my shingle here. It's supposed to be in the 60's today, I think I might take a drive up in the hills today.
