Aw, thanks folks. I actually was going to post, but was ridiculously busy today.

I'm just beginning to look into PSA stuff, and I was wondering what exactly the oral ratings entail. Sounds scary!

Congratulations!

Keep current on those tracings...my oral ratings examiners were ALL OVER ME about the 3-turn tracing because I said it looked like a 3 (ISI style). Hate to tell them but I've never seen one that looked like the one they drew for me!

Just registered to take the exam online today. There's a little "Wait" button beside my course, so I haven't been able to open the study guide yet, but I'm sure I'll be able to once the PSA sees I have completed all 4 of my online e-learning courses.

I have until 2/15/09 to take the exam. For those of you who have taken it, how long did you study/prepare for the exam (the full 90 days or less)? What percentage of questions did you need to answer correctly to pass?

I am officially registered for my BA Exam! Since this is two days after I actually paid for the exam, the PSA gave me two additional days to complete the exam, so instead of the course expiring on 2/15/09, I now have until 2/17/09. I was kind of getting worried about this since I couldn't access the studyguide until that darn "Wait" button disappeared, but I will have the full 90 days to complete the exam after all. (Speaking of studyguide, it apparently has not changed since you took the exam, Isk8NYC.)

I spent about two weeks studying, but I didn't have anyone to guide me -- the rinks I taught at didn't really care about PSA membership, nevertheless ratings. You're lucky in that you could pick the brains of your fellow PSA-rated coaches. Don't be afraid to ask for guidance from them. Good luck.

I think someone who took the test said something about the study guide being wrong about alcohol, but I don't remember if it came up on the exam itself.
