I have started over the last week taking online courses thru Testteachers for P & C. Each course requirements is 20 hours so for both of course it is 40 hours requirement before I can take exam. I have spent 11 hours so far, and have of course gone back and reread and reviewed pdf documents, videos, taken text quizzes, in an effort to really get a hold on the material. there are over 60 sections for P & C, and so far I have completed 11! How in the world does anyone get all of this information and retain it in 40 hours??? I know it will take me twice as long as that to get the material read, viewed, and absorbed, not memorized, but understood, in order to take my test with confidence. Actual classes would have been what I wanted to do in the first place, so I am extremely glad I chose online courses, so I have the opportunity to ask questions to my teacher thru email, or online chat, etc, because I KNOW that I could not do this in just 40 hours and then leave and know that I have learned something... Do any of you feel like you have learned anything in just the 20 hours per course that is required before taking exam, or do you take the 20 hours and then just keep going over the material until it clicks in your head?
So MUCH INFO

MRD0523,
Going through the material is tough because there is so much information to absorb! Many of our students find that using the study plan is helpful in making sure they learn and retain the information. If you’re already doing that, great! If not, you can locate it in your pdf study manual.
Our best advice is, take your time, follow the manual and when it comes to taking the practice exams, make sure you are getting 90% and above on them. You'll also want to make sure you are only taking exams once a day to avoid memorization. Ask questions! We provide the option to email our instructors so that you can be successful, so if at any point something sounds confusing and you need further clarification, do not hesitate to ask our instructors.
Above all, TesTeachers is here for our students, if you have a question or need technical support please contact us at 888-422-7714. Good luck with your studies! You can do it, just take your time.
