I've had no problems, but it took eons to load because the file size was so large (especially the A-series). I cut it apart into the individual documents, to make it more manageable.

this will help you with alot of your CD Qs after reading ALS CD study guides
http://www.dcd.com/oleary/oleary.html
Update: READ THIS AFTER YOU READ THE ALS OR THE CONTRACT I think this is as good as reading the ALS or the contract itself

Just took CDs today, and boy I am sure glad I read this article about commissioning, I would have had no idea what that question was talking about otherwise. ka24de is correct, take the time to read this, you wont regret it!!!!

Wow, these tutorials are fantastic! Wish I would have discovered them right away and studied them first thing, rather than right now (less than 24 hrs 'til test time!). Still, it's a great re-cap of what I've learned.
