These OF's expect that the newbie will study a Q/A guide, pass a test,
and somehow end up with 20, 30, 40 or even 50 years of experience
under their belts - just like they did(?) back in '06.


BS, first they dont Study, or even know the Basic Material. All they do is
Memorize some Q&As, and then take a test on material they know nothing about.
