Padi Exam

[Noob]

Tomorrow is my book exam. What are the main things to focus on for the test? I would think the Nitrogen calcs.

Go through your five Knowledge Reviews. Everything on the exam should come from there.

If you understand what was covered there, you'll do just fine.

I'd say it depends on where you are less comfortable. I have a science background, so my only review was the dive planning and calculations. Plus, that is stuff that you need to know cold to plan your dives. Promise me you will still practice even if you get a computer right out of the box? I had my computer go into freedive mode last dive and was happy that I still knew how to use my tables.

[Noob]

Oh I promise I will always use those dive charts and know how. I do own a computer but it has batteries. The charts dont. It always works.

[Vercingetorix]

Know your tables. Know your first aid, such as narcosis symptons. Relax.

If you did well on the quizes i dont think you should have any problems. Its really not that hard of a class from what i can remember about it. Go over the questions at the end of all the chapters and you should be ok.

A very heathy and safe thought process to have noob.

Relax, go over the knowledge reviews, if you have a problem with a certain area, re-read. Relax and have fun! It's only a test and if you're as gung ho and you appear, you'll know the stuff and do well.

Oh, and let us know how you did!

If you've read the book, did the knowledge reviews and paid attention to your instructor you will be fine.

Going through the knowledge reviews is the best things to do.

As usual, navyhmc is right. Relax. As long as you're paying attention to the material and the quizes, and asking questions, you'll be fine. A good instructor is not going to let you fail, he/she will ensure that you know that material that you need to know, but diving is a learning process.

What you need to know from the course are the rules and procedures that will keep you safe. Beyond that, relax and enjoy the ride.

Well guys, I passed the written part. Now to the open water dive this weekend. I can not wait!
