No one is tooting anything, CLAY. I believe I asked a very valid question. "I can assure you that the answers are in the rule book. How does it help you if we simply give them to you?" If he completes the exam himself and then has questions about those that he missed, I'll be the first one here to reply to his questions and help him understand the answers. But to simply tell him the answers serves no purpose at all.

mmcclanahan, I'm glad that you chosen to take up this avocation. It's also important that you've found this forum. If you'll continue to read, posts questions here, and study, the forum will become invaluable to you. As I stated, the answers to these questions are in the rule book. Such is the purpose of these exams, to get you into the book, to learn how the book is laid out and where to go for specific issues.

Once your exam is graded and you have questions, post and you'll get plenty of help and explanations. Good luck.
