Just wondering when and how much we get paid when we are down at the redi center for 5 weeks. I have been searching and searching for days and found no recent info. Also what kind of info do we go over for a carman.

Like most, only concerned about the signal test. Is it as difficult as some have stated? Did anyone fail the test and if so, how many attempts are you given?Signals tests may seem overwhelming but just study over them a little at a time the first 2 weeks, then week 3 hit it hard. Try to have all 3 tests done by the end of week 4, Tuesday of week 5 at the latest. Any later than that and you're gonna feel overwhelmed. Everyone takes tests differently, but i've hardly studied at all since i've been here, but paid good attention in class. I have a 96% average. Take that for what it's worth to ya.
