What do I need to pass
Why study for weeks? Get on the Fast Track and study only the material that is necessary to pass your exams. For 13 years people have been using our Fast Track Practice Exams, Study Outlines, and calibrations DVD to PASS their exams the FIRST TIME!
These study guides are designed to "cram you for the test" not to "teach you the trade". Our "Practice Exams" and "Interactive CD’s" are unique. Each one presents a concise summary of pesticide applicator license or certificate exam questions and answers that are simulated from actual exam questions and created to help prepare you for the real thing! The "Fast Track Practice Exams" (paperback book) and "Interactive CD’s" include at least 90% of the actual exam questions and answers that have appeared on previous State exams.
A "Practice Exam" is needed for each category you wish to pass. A Practice Exam is sold in two formats either as a paperback book or a Windows CD ROM disk that must be used on a computer, both contain the exact same information, the format you order depends upon how you like to study. Each "Practice Exam" is designed for a specific category (QAL or QAC) and contains an answer key as well as any calibrations that are on the exams. At a minimum we recommend that you purchase a "Practice Exam" for each test (category) you want to pass.
Do I also need to purchase a "Study Outline" guide?
There is a separate Study Outline guide for each exam category. "Study Outlines" present the four or five main topics that will appear on your State exam in a narrative overview called "Points to Remember". If you don’t have a background or have not worked in the trade for years it is recommended that you also purchase a "Study Outline" for each exam category. These guides are designed to "coach you through the test", with points to remember, fill in exercises, may also include matching, fill in the blank, pictures of insects, help with terminology, weeds, and equipment that appear on the state test. (Does NOT contain actual exam questions like the "Practice Exams").
