They had a set of materials to learn for each subject. Tom’s file for Aquatics was about 100 printed pages. Some of the others had more. They also had some sample questions from previous years’ competitions. The wildlife test asked more questions about state law than our team could answer, so they’ll study more about that. In forestry, they needed more knowledge about types of leaves, types of bark, and so on - technical vocabulary.
Odd. When I divorced my first husband, I took a battery of tests to find out what I was best suited for in the working world. It came back as “forest ranger,” but because I was a woman, they wouldn’t even consider me.
My next stop was the post office, and they said I would never qualify because I would have to lift “up to 100 pounds,” and I only weighed 147 at the time.
I ended up going to work for Greyhound, and I was lifting packages “up to 100 pounds” above my head.
Maybe I should have gone back to the Post Office...;o]
