I got the email today inviting me to take the test. I read this thread almost daily from 2011-2013, stopped reading for awhile, and started to make another push this year. Former military (mostly C-130), 5000TT after the conversion.
I could barely concentrate on work the rest of the day. Tonight I'm re-reading the gouge threads. Tomorrow the books, test Thu night is the current plan. I know it needs to be done soon but I want that extra time to make sure I'm fully prepared. Thanks for all the good info. I'll update when I know more.
