    guys your better off just waiting until you get in. they will give you the definitions book at your SRN night. they are piss simple anyway. plus your first defs test isnt until week 5 so you will have plenty of time to learn them

    Absolutely guys, they are easy enough to learn and the test is easy too as long as you spend a little time studying the defs. A lot in our squad got 100% on our first def test in week 5 so dont be worrying about it and dont be stressing about it.

    Have to agree with you BoutYe (now there's a first :D) Please for your own sakes only post definitions if you know they are relevant and currently used during training. By posting definitions from the net and from friends they might not be exactly right, or the right ones. As BoutYe said, the test is easily achievable if you apply yourself and you have plenty of time. It's probably the least stressful thing in Garnerville!

    Happy new year all

    I think it would be more constructive and helpful to identify/correct any errors in the thread than it is to generally dismiss it. I know the defs test is not the most difficult part of training but it may benefit some people to be familiar with the definitions allowing them to concentrate on those areas that they may not be quite so strong in.
    I am only trying to give people a taste of what to expect, forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory. as yer man said.

    Morri. The 3 top posts above, as quoted by yourself, all offer similar advice. We are not dismissing your thread. Jeez, don't get so bleedin protective ;) All we are saying is don't get hung up on this stuff. Even when it's explained by the tutors it takes time to understand. I was just suggesting to proceed with caution so as not to confuse people. As you will hear in the college 'feedback is for free!' :D

    Fair enough JVB I was simply saying it would be just as easy to point out any errors in the post so any confusion could be cleared up rather than allowing errors to remain unchecked. I included the definition of "dishonestly" to illustrate that there is alot more to the definitions than reciting them. I have heard the "feedback is free" line before, around the same time i heard "you can ask anybody anything."
    I dont mean to be too protective I am merely trying to help people who are not familiar with any of this stuff.
    I should claim 5(b)(c) for this;)

    I was down with my cousin tonight and he managed to get me a copy of the defs from a rookie he works with.

    Can I just say..... HOLY SH1T!!!!! I kinda wish he hadn't given them to me now!!! I'm officially sh1tting myself!!!

    Get a jotter and start writing them out.... pick 1 at a time and write it out its the only way to learn them. Write each 1 out about 20 times. When you get definition tests you will be told to write them, not recite them.

    If you know your definitions your exam questions will be simple for you because the answer will be in the relevant definition

    That's what I've been hearing. I'm taking them on holiday with me to learn on the flights, so that's about 28 hours of studying overall!
