- I had No Problem - Re: Timed Percent Quiz

February 19, 2003

Dear Joe Medina And ALl,

Thank you for checking out the link. Yes it worked fine for me too.

You are correct, just because I am an experienced tech/instructor,

and can do these problems quickly, does not mean that I/we should

expect a new student or new tech to do the same. What I/we expect you

all to do is to learn to do the problems then try to do them faster

and faster with the same degre of accuracy.

By doing more problems of simialr set up, quickly, one right after

the other, one is forced to learn to do the set up in their head with

out pencil or paper, but in the calculator only. This is great for on

the job. Remember that on the PTCB exam you will have scratch paper.

Of course on the job you can use scratch paper also. Since these are

basically ratio/proportion method set ups, one can use the same

method for IV math as well.

Again thank you for attending to my request.

Respectfully,
