i passed the exam in pa. letter arrived 6.21.08 and was dated 6.18.08. jeff :multiplespotting:

jason told me the same thing last time when the fall results were coming out to keep my fingers crossed. i didn't pass and had to retake it this past spring.

how does one go about using a weighted C utilized to compensate for a different travel time if something had 5 different drainage zones?
