[SML] ETCP Certified Elex

[Scott C. Parker]

Maia,
That's a good question. It was during dinner with Bill S. and Dave V. that
I mentioned my prepping for the test. Bill suggested "what, you? go take
the practice test and then go take the test."
I took both practice tests and did better on rigging. At the time, I was
trying to study for both, but with this result, I decided to focus on
rigging and get it out of the way.
The electrics test seemed to have a wider breadth of coverage. Or, at least
areas that I have little to no experience with. For example, dealing with
large generators and dealing with 480V 3phase gear. Studying those helped
me better understand a whole host of other things along the way.

In the end, I took the entire three hours on the rigging test. The elex I
took about 2:15 and spent the last 45 minutes trouble shooting a few
questions that intrigued/confounded me. Wouldn't you know, had to do with
480V gear. No idea if I got it right as the correct answers are not shared.

Hopefully, after some arena work here in Philly, I'll make it a trifecta.

Later, Scott
