Common questions

Is management on lower-grade exams?

Yes, at a basic level: records, customer relations and safety. Budgets, rates and planning carry more weight on higher grades such as California D4 and T4.

How should a log error be corrected?

Draw a single line through it, write the correct value, and initial and date the change so the original stays readable.
