"jim&julz" wrote in message ... Greetings, I have been working on my CW for a while... getting ready to test next month, and I'm concerned that I may not pass it just yet. My question is, are there any restrictions on how you copy the code while testing? Example, lets say that I just can't decipher the letters quick enough in my head, and it is quicker for me to scribble dots and dashes on paper and then go back and xlate them. Other than dirty looks, would the VE's have any objections to this method? Any input is more than welcome... Thanks. Jim As one other poster responded, check with the VE team that will be administering your test. However this approach is a bad idea. Under the stress of the test, you may get caught up in writing the dots & dashes for one letter and miss what follows. Also you should not be "deciphering" the letters in your head. Your training method should be creating a reflex. You should hear the sound and write the letter without having to think at all. What training approach are you using? Did you memorize the dots & dashes (a very bad training method by the way)? Please describe what you are currently using and I'll send you some tips to improve on that so you don't have to worry about dots & dashes. How much time per day are you practicing? Dee D.
