I am very interested in joining the DRA and doing the mentor program. Can you help steer me in the right direction? How do I sign up? Who do I call? Is it expensive?

Hi Kathleen. Yeah, it sounds like a plan. I think it would be great to keep in contact.<br />
<br />
I guess they might do things a little differently out in Orange. I'm up north in Stockton -- it's about 40 minutes south of Sacramento, in case you were wondering :D. I have been passing my resume out like crazy too this past week, but no interviews. Most of the depo firms up here said they would keep my name on file and call me if they had a job for me to take.

<br />
Are you going into freelance? Court? Both?<br />
<br />
Well, good luck and be sure to keep us posted on that first job! I'll be anxiously waiting to hear. Hey Guys!! Sorry it has taken…tag:csrnation.ning.com,2008-09-15:1736041:Comment:3717872008-09-15T18:45:53.860ZKathleenhttps://csrnation.ning.com/profile/Kathleen95

congrats kathleen!! how awesome!! i took and passed it too. i really thought it was an amazing test!!<br />
<br />
i took the academics quite a bit after the csr. i took the professional practice on august 30, and the english on september 3. i just heard back today about the english, and i passed! so now i've passed all three and i'm waiting for my number!<br />
<br />
i do feel that not taking the tests all at once was a huge relief. it was really nice to be able to just focus on one, especially when you're flying…

i do feel that not taking the tests all at once was a huge relief. it was really nice to be able to just focus on one, especially when you're flying (or driving 6 hours) to LA! what i wish i did differently was not wait so long after the dictation part to do the academics. i'm telling all my friends to schedule the academics about 2 weeks after the dictation. i just feel like i procrastinated too much! it's kind of nice to have a date set so you know how much to study and when!<br />

Yes, Jena, it was about a home robbery!! how could you forget? lol. altho i don't really remember much about it anymore. it was AMAZING tho! it was like they were reading us a story. it was much easier than any qualifier i had. and yes, hopefully this is a string of great tests!!

Hi, Kathleen.<br />
<br />
Glad to hear another test taker passed too. Congrats!! I thought the test was great. It felt slow, and I had the cleanest notes I have seen in a long time. lol. I also took my legal test a week after the CSR and the English Exam one week after that. I really got to focus on each individual section. I think this was a great benefit. I just got my license last week. : ). So what city are you in? Have you gone on your first job yet? Keep us posted. I haven't had that first job yet,…

Hi Diane.<br />
<br />
I also took the Calilfornia test in July. The test was about a home robbery, I believe. And I passed too, thanks for the congrats. The test was phenomenal!! And I also had friends take the March exam, and they thought their test was awesome, so maybe it's just going to be a series of great tests : ).<br />
<br />
Definitely way easier than my qualifier! lol. :)

Diane,<br />
<br />
I just remember one word that one of the students I mentor told me about, and I'm not completely sure I'm right. We were at the NCRA convention when she told me. It was the day after the test. Think she referred to "Wicke's," as in Wicke's Furniture, I think???<br />
<br />
That was the one and only word that she said caused her to hesitate. She said it seemed very slow. She was completely jazzed after the test. Passed it with a 99-plus accuracy. Think she had only 15 errors.<br />
<br />
She passed all three…

She passed all three legs, too!! WOO-HOO!!!<br />

I'm sure Kathleen can fill us in on the particulars of the test.
