What mnemonics, phrases or information would you write down immediately before you start on question 1 for AUD?

Once you put in the launch code, you have 10 minutes to read and click through the introduction screens. Watch your time. There is no timer that tells you when the 10 minutes is up.

Also, most testing proctors I've come across do not make me put in the launch code while they are seating me. So as long as I don't enter the launch code, I have time to adjust the chair, monitor, write some stuff down before I even put in the code and the 10 minutes start ticking.

But the one time a proctor had me input the launch code in their presence, I went over =( Shame on me for not even knowing there was a 10 minute rule in the first place. Once the test timed out, I was out of luck. I lost my chance to take FAR. Lesson learned…the hard way.

To be honest, the mnemonics didnt play a role whatsoever in my test. Maybe for a couple questions but you just had to have known the material. I also second RTFQ ;]

“FML”

^^ wrote this when I took FAR, but other than that I've only ever used my paper for actual scratchwork. Stuff like jotting down a number from the calculator that I'm not going to want to have to scroll back up to.
